The webi nar will be held on Zoom webinar virtually.\n\nAbstract: Integrated Si pho tonics has sparked a significant ramp-up of investment in both academia an d industry as a scalable\, power-efficient\, and eco-friendly solution. At the heart of this platform is the light source\, which has been the focus of research extensively. This talk tries to tackle this issue from two pe rspectives: monolithic integration based on direct epitaxial growth and he terogeneous integration based on wafer bonding. In monolithic integration\ , significant improvements in III-V/Si epitaxy have pushed quantum dot tec hnology to the frontiers of Si photonics. Meanwhile\, a heterogeneous inte gration platform is showing very promising results\, where a synergistic r elationship between the III-V and Si gives rise to superior devices exceed ing what is achievable with purely III-V devices. We will talk about the c urrent state of application-driven on-chip silicon lasers. We expect to in spire further development in incorporating photonic integrated circuits wi th on-chip lasers for substantial performance gains\, green solutions\, an d mass production.\n\nBiography: Dr. Yating Wan is an Assistant Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. Previously\, she wo rked in Prof. John Bower’s group at UCSB from 2017-2022 as a postdoctora l research associate. Her research interests are in Si Photonics with spec ial emphasis on integration of on-chip light sources for data communicatio ns\, biosensors/bioimaging\, energy harvesting\, machine vision\, and quan tum information processing. She received the 2016-17 School of Engineering PhD Research Excellence Award from the Hong Kong University of Science an d Technology\, 2021 CLEO Tingye Li Innovation Prize\, 2018 PIERS Young Sci entist Award\, 2021 OGC Best Young Scientist Award\, and was selected as t he Finalist of 2022 Rising Stars of Light. She has published more than 60 peer-reviewed research papers\, including 36 first-author journal (24)/con ference(12) papers and 8 journal covers.\n\nSpeaker(s): Yating Wan\, \n\nA genda: \n1 hour (45 min talk + 15 min Q&A)\n\nRoom: 3142\, Bldg: EIT\, Uni versity of Waterloo\, 200 University Avenue West\, Waterloo\, Ontario\, Ca nada\, N2L 3G1\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/327222 LOCATION:Room: 3142\, Bldg: EIT\, University of Waterloo\, 200 University A venue West\, Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada\, N2L 3G1\, Virtual: https://even ts.vtools.ieee.org/m/327222 ORGANIZER:s535wang@uwaterloo.ca SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:Advances in quantum dot lasers and integration with Si photonic int egrated circuits URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/327222 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="page" title="Page 1">\n<div class ="layoutArea">\n<div class="column">\n<p><strong>10 AM</strong> (EST) <str ong>Wednesday (Oct. 12)</strong>\, at <strong>EPS - IEEE Electronics Packa ging Society</strong> Branch Chapter at <strong>University of Waterloo</st rong>\, we are honoured to have <strong>Dr. Yating Wan</strong>\, an Assis tant Professor at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technolog y) giving a talk on "<strong>Advances in quantum dot lasers and integratio n with Si photonic integrated circuits</strong>".
