DESCRIPTION:In this talk we plan to discuss a novel class of nanoscale devi
 ces that address unmet performance demands for applications in data commun
 ications. The performance of emerging generations of high-speed\, integrat
 ed electronic circuits is increasingly dictated by interconnect density an
 d latency as well as by power consumption. To alleviate these limitations\
 , data communications using photons has been deployed\, where photonic cir
 cuits and devices are integrated on platforms compatible with conventional
  electronic technologies. Within the dominant platform\; namely Si\, diele
 ctric waveguides confine light via total internal reflection. This imposes
  bounds on minimizing device dimensions and density of integration. Those 
 bounds arise due to the diffraction limit and the cross-coupling between n
 eighboring waveguides. Nanoscale Plasmonic waveguides provide the unique a
 bility to confine light within a few 10s of nanometers and allow for near 
 perfect transmission through sharp bends as well as efficient light distri
 bution between orthogonally intersecting junctions. With these structures 
 as a building block\, new levels of optoelectronic integration and perform
 ance metrics for athermal transceivers with achievable bandwidths of 100s 
 Gbps and detection sensitivity better than -55 dBs\, will be overviewed in
  this talk. In addition\, opportunities for the role that 2D materials may
  pay in propelling these record performance metrics even further will be p
 rojected.\n\nSpeaker(s): Amr Helmy\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ie

 ass of nanoscale devices that address unmet performance demands for applic

 te these limitations\, data communications using photons has been deployed
 \, where photonic circuits and devices are integrated on platforms compati

 m\; namely Si\, dielectric waveguides confine light via total internal ref
 lection. This imposes bounds on minimizing device dimensions and density o
 f integration. Those bounds arise due to the diffraction limit and the cro
 ss-coupling between neighboring waveguides. Nanoscale Plasmonic waveguides
  provide the unique ability to confine light within a few 10s of nanometer
 s and allow for near perfect transmission through sharp bends as well as e
 fficient light distribution between orthogonally intersecting junctions. W
 ith these structures as a building block\, new levels of optoelectronic in
 tegration and performance metrics for athermal transceivers with achievabl
 e bandwidths of 100s Gbps and detection sensitivity better than -55 dBs\, 
 will be overviewed in this talk. In addition\, opportunities for the role 
 that 2D materials may pay in propelling these record performance metrics e
