报告人: 　　Dr. Frank H. Peters (Physics Department, University College Cork, and Tyndall National Institute)

Abstract：The integration of photonic devices has moved from laboratory demonstrations to a commercial reality. It is understood that platforms for photonic integration need to follow the silicon model, where a standard set of processes can be used to create many different photonic circuits. This talk will discuss existing platforms for photonic integration and will introduce a new platform that conforms more to the silicon model by eliminating multiple epitaxial growths. The talk will begin with an overview of the Tyndall National Institute and Photonics research at Tyndall and will proceed to the discussion of Integrated Photonics.

报告人简介：Dr. Frank Peters leads the Integrated Photonic Group located at the Tyndall National Institute and the Physics Department of University College Cork. He was previously based in California working as a research scientist in various companies including Agilent Technologies and Infinera, where he developed the first commercial photonic integrated circuits (PICs). After nearly 15 years of photonic research experience in California, he joined UCC and Tyndall in 2005. Dr. Peters continues to research in high speed and integrated photonic devices, and is the Photonics Strand leader of the Centre for Telecommunications Value Chain Research (CTVR) a large CSET funded by SFI, the IDA and Bell Labs. Dr. Peters is also the director of PiFAS – Photonic Integration from Atoms to Systems, an SFI funded Strategic Research Cluster whose purpose is to join existing efforts in photonic devices and systems through photonic integration and packaging. PiFAS includes academic researchers at the Tyndall National Institute, UCC, TCD, DCU and CIT and also a number of industrial photonics companies.
