Future developments in optical networks will rely crucially on all-optical processing. All-optical processing is based on optical nonlinear effects where an optical signal impacts on the propagation of another one through their interaction with the matter. One of the advantages of all-optical devices over opto-electronic ones is their inherent potential to provide higher bandwidth for high speed data transmission and treatment.
Recently, the drive towards the miniaturisation and the energy efficiency of such devices motivated important efforts in research especially in the nanophotonics domain. Our team aims at developping innovative nonlinear devices based on III-V/Silicon hybrid nanostructures which take advantage of the large dynamic nonlinearities of quantum-confined III-V active materials (quantum well or quantum dots) embedded in photonic crystal nanocavities. Currently, our interest lies in:
Scaning electron microscope image of our hybrid electrically driven nanolaser
Scaning electron micrograph of active nanocavities heterogeneously integrated on and coupled through an SOI waveguide
