　　Abstract:Micro/Nano-scale photonic devices have attracted significant interest recently. The so-called silicon photonics can reduce the cost of many telecommunication components.When low-loss metals are introduced, the resulted plasmonic devices could break the diffraction limit and make photonic devices smaller than a wavelength. High-quality-factor micro-resonators can significantly enhance the optical nonlinearity and generate optical frequency combs. In this talk I will present the following results from our group:　　

　　1. Novel devices and phenomena from silicon-based microring resonators, including optical diodes <1> and frequency combs <2>;

　　2. Functional silicon photonic sub-systems and their application in microwave photonics <3, 4>;　　

　　3. Nanoimprint <5> and laser shock imprinting <6> in metals and their applications in plasmonics and graphene photonics.
