Plenary Event
Monday Plenary Presentation II
19 April 2021 • 17:00 - 18:00 BST 
Recording will be available soon
Monday Plenary Presentation I and Monday Plenary Presentation II are part of the same webinar session with a break in between.
Times for this live event are all Central European Summer Time, CEST (UTC+2:00 hours)
Welcome and Introduction
Ivo Rendina, CNR/Istituto per la Microelettronica e Microsistemi (Italy)
Symposium Chair
In-fiber semiconductor photonics: a new platform for nonlinear applications
Anna C. Peacock, Optoelectronics Research Ctr., Univ. of Southampton (United Kingdom)
The nascent field of semiconductor core fibres is attracting increased interest as a means to exploit the excellent optical and optoelectronic functionality of the semiconductor material directly within the fibre geometry. Compared to their planar counterparts, this new class of waveguide retains many advantageous properties of the fibre platforms such as flexibility, cylindrical symmetry, and long waveguide lengths. Furthermore, owing to the robust glass cladding it is also possible to employ standard fibre post-processing procedures to tailor the waveguide dimensions and reduce the optical losses over a broad wavelength range, of particular use for nonlinear applications. This presentation will review progress in the development of nonlinear devices from the semiconductor core fibre platform and outline exciting future prospects for the field.
Professor Anna C. Peacock is the head of the Nonlinear Semiconductor Photonics group within the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton. She obtained her BSc and MSc in Physics from The University of Auckland (New Zealand), before moving to the ORC to undertake a PhD in Nonlinear Fibre Optics. She was subsequently awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship, in recognition of her pioneering work on fiberized semiconductor photonic devices. Her research is currently focused on developing novel semiconductor waveguides, both fibre and planar technologies, for use in nonlinear optical applications.
