Title: Exciting Prospects for Optical Signal Processing

Abstract:
Data signal processing is of extreme value for efficient communication systems. This plenary presentation will explore: (a) potential advantages of using optics for signal processing, (b) functions that might be valuable to be performed optically, especially at the line rate, and (c) approaches for high-speed manipulation of amplitude, phase, polarization and/or wavelength domains. Specifically, this plenary will describe key enabling technologies (e.g., multicasting, multiplexing, demultiplexing and tapped-delay-lines) and potential applications (e.g. equalization, correlation and logic).

Title: Photonics Beyond Diffraction Limit: Plasmon Waveguide, Cavities and Integrated Laser Circuits

Abstract:
I will discuss recent development in scaling down of photonics. First I will present theoretical and experimental investigation of passive low loss waveguide using hybrid plasmon design. We propose a new optical cavity design approach using indefinite medium that has a drastically different scaling law than conventional microcavities, and discuss its experimental demonstrations. Finally we will show an active plasmonic laser circuit that integrated with 5 tiny cavities that multiplexed into a single waveguide-an effort towards integrated photonics at nano-scale.
