Abstract :
Semiconductors have played an important role in the development of information and communications technology, solar cells, solid state lighting. Nanowires are considered as building blocks for the next generation electronics and optoelectronics. In this talk, I will introduce the importance of nanowires and their potential applications and discuss about how these nanowires can be synthesized and how the shape, size and composition of the nanowires influence their structural and optical properties. I will present results on axial and radial heterostructures and how one can engineer the optical properties to obtain high performance lasers, THz detectors, solar cells and to engineer neuronal networks. Future prospects of the semiconductor nanowires will be discussed.

Abstract :
Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have long been predicted as low-cost enabling laser sources for many applications including optical communications, sensing and imaging. The mirrors are typically distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) with many tens layers of epitaxy layers with alternating refractive indecies. Since 2004, we invented a single layer high index contrast near-wavelength gratings (HCG) to replace the hundred-layered DBR in a VCSEL structure. Snice then, we develeoped a new class of planar optics has emerged using near-wavelength dielectric structures, known as high contrast metastructures (HCM). Many extraordinary properties can be designed top-down based for integrated optics on a silicon or GaAs substrate. In this talk, I will review recent results using HCG as mirror for VCSEL. I will discuss inventions and advances in VCSELs that have led to recent global deployment of commercial applications including 3D sensing, LIDAR and optical coherent tomography applications. I will also discuss future prospects for advanced applications.

Abstract :
Since semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) were first proposed in 1982, they have been intensively studied for both fundamental solid-state physics and advanced device applications. The quantum-confinement of electrons in QDs has enabled the realization of high-performance quantum lasers, high-sensitivity quantum dot infrared detectors, and advanced non-classical light sources. Moreover, embedding a single quantum dot inside a photonic nanocavity has provided a new platform for studying solid-state cavity quantum electronics (cavity-QED). In this presentation, we overview recent progress in quantum dot photonics, including practical implementation of quantum dot lasers and realization of single photon sources operating above room temperature. Moreover, impact of the quantum dot lasers on silicon photonics is emphasized. Finally, advances in quantum dot cavity-QED and future prospects of the quantum dot photonics are also discussed.

Abstract :
Various future system applications that involve photonic technology rely on our ability to integrate it on a chip to augment and/or interact with other signals (e.g., electrical, chemical, biomedical, etc.). To advance the nanophotonics technology we established design, fabrication and testing tools at UCSD. Our research work emphasizes the construction of passive (e.g., engineered composite metamaterials, filters, etc.) and active (e.g., nanolasers) components on-chip, with the same lithographic tools as electronics. In this talk, we discuss progress in passive and active integrated photonic devices, circuits and systems that recently have been demonstrated in our labs.
