Studies of ultrafast silicon photonics were selected as 2022 breakthrough by the optics magazine OPN
Silicon is the most widely applied element in semiconductor industry. Therefore, silicon photonics exhibits the advantage for integration with electronic devices. And optical control is an important key application. The groups of Prof. Shi-Wei Chu (Physics, National Taiwan University and Dr. Kung-Hsuan Lin (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica) et al. utilized ultrafast laser to manipulate the features of nonlinear light scattering from nano-silicon at temporal domains. The linearity, super-linearity, and sub-linearity can be easily manipulated. This work was published and selected as the cover in Advanced Optical Materials. It was also selected as 2022 breakthrough in the magazine Optics & Photonics News.
