Hybrid integration and multiphysics nanomaterials for photonic devices and circuits

The hybrid integration of materials and the appropriate use of nanomaterials with different physical properties on conventional photonic platforms is a key step to diversify and densify the assembled functions in photonic circuits.

Scope:

The aim of the symposium is to review last developments on materials for hybrid photonics which will very likely bring breakthroughs in photonic device performances within a short reach. Since diversified functions and technological approaches are required for advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs), relevant topics have been classified in three groups, which will also correspond to three main sessions:

  • Integrated isolators or circulators are among the main missing functions in PICs. Magneto-optical (MO) materials enable nonreciprocal transmission, and magneto-plasmonics helps to miniaturize non-reciprocal devices thanks to effect enhancement. This session explores MO nonreciprocity mechanisms, corresponding devices architectures and relevant MO material integration, with and without plasmonic effects.
  • Hybrid integration and multiphysics materials (MO, ferroelectrical, electro-optical, etc...) will be addressed in this session, including their elaboration: transfer printing, direct growth or novel integration approaches such as nanoparticles loaded sol-gels. This session will also discuss functional materials as a promising base for multifunctional devices operating simultaneously for the waves of different nature: electromagnetic waves and spin waves.
  • Non-linear optics will be the focus of the third session, to give an overview of recent progress enabled by hybrid integration or development of novel materials.

For each of these topics, the purpose is to update participants on performances of recently studied materials for photonics, and to identify the most promising ones in terms of material elaboration, structuration, properties and expected device performance. The final objective is to shed light on these new solutions. To cover a large view on these topics, invited talks will present state of the arts on each relevant research area, and/or focus on a recent hot research result.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

  • Integrated magneto-optical devices. Magneto-plasmonics. Non-reciprocity. Magnonic-spintronics.
  • Hybrid integration. Oxides (Magneto-optic, ferroelectric, electrooptic, …) on photonic platforms. Sol-gel integration or other advanced integration process.
  • Non-linear optics for integrated photonics.
