Silicon & Diamond photonics
[ 08.03.2016 ] Siliconphotonics
Silicon is the material of choice for the microelectronics
industry. However, recent developments of the engineering
of the optical properties of silicon have made it a very
interesting material for optical signal processing. Additionally,
Silicon photonics is CMOS compatible which enables
the possibility to exploit the mature technology of the microlelectronics
industry and to co-integrate optical and
microlelectronics processing. Thus, silicon integrated
photonics could pave the way to very high-data rate and
cheap optical transmitter and receiver modules for the
mass market of the internet, data centers and even for
chip-to-chip and on-chip communications. At the same
time, the confinement of the waves and the mix with other
materials have led to very interesting properties which
enable integrated frequency combs, optical signal processing,
strong reduction of the interaction length and a lot
of other very new applications. We have assembled a fantastic
programme of speakers who will give an overview
and an insight into this very exciting field of research.
[ 09.03.2016 ] Diamond Nanophotonics
Diamond – is this the material of the next decades? It possesses
remarkable physical and chemical properties, high
mechanical hardness, large Young´s module and high
thermal conductivity. But now it enters also the quantum
optics´ stage! Diamond is transparent from the ultraviolet
to the infrared spectral range, has a high refractive index
and it may contain a variety of defect centers. These properties
make diamond a very interesting material for many
applications, especially exciting is the field of quantum
information and quantum optics. In the center of these
modern applications are color centers, mainly nitrogenvacancy
and silicon-vacancy single centers suitable for
single photon operation and manipulation.
In this workshop, top level presentations will be given on
the fields of diamond wafer production, quantum optics in
diamond, diamond nanostructures, diamond and metrology,
integration of defect centers in diamond, light and matter
interactions and the interfacing of color centers in diamond.

Program 'Silicon & Diamond photonics' You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
