Integrated Acousto-Optics for Optical and Quantum Computing
Hosted By: Integrated Photonics Technical Group
16 March 2022 13:00 - 14:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Exploiting the strong coherent interactions between light and acoustic waves on chip and the generated nonlinear process can lead to a plethora of important acousto-optic technologies for optical communication, microwave photonics, and quantum information transduction. In this webinar hosted by the Integrated Photonics Technical Group, Mo Li will review the recent progress on integrated acousto-optic devices that have been built on a wide range of material platforms including aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, silicon and gallium arsenide. In addition, Li will dive into the application of integrated acousto-optic for optical computing and quantum transduction.
What You Will Learn:
- An overview of integrated acousto-optic devices
- Recent developments in the field and applications
Who Should Attend:
- The material will be appropriate for various levels of expertise
