Abstract
My talk will review our recent progress
in demonstrating nonlinear photonic circuits (photonic chips) for ultrafast
all-optical signal processing based on highly nonlinear materials and
nanophotonic circuits and structures. I will review the underlying principles
of the optical nonlinearity and show how it can be massively enhanced using
slow light in photonic crystal circuits. I will also review our recent
breakthrough demonstrations of ultrafast all-optical signal processing and
emerging applications of photonic chip based all-optical processing in quantum
processing and nonlinear optical phononics (opto-acoustic interactions).

Biography:
Benjamin J. Eggleton is an ARC Federation Fellow and Professor of Physics at the University of Sydney and is the founding Director of CUDOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh-Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems. He obtained the Bachelors degree and PhD degree in Physics from the University of Sydney. In 1996, he joined Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies as a Member of Staff and was subsequently promoted to Director within the
Specialty Fibre Business Division of Bell Laboratories, where he was engaged in forward-looking research supporting Lucent Technologies business in optical fibre devices. Eggleton has published more than 300 journal publications (with over 9500 citations and an h-index of 48), including articles in Nature Photonics, Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters and has filed over 35 patents. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, IEEE Photonics and the
Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE). Eggleton has received numerous awards for his contributions, including, the 2011 Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science, the 2007 Pawsey Medal from the Australian Academy of Science, the 2004 Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year, the 2003 International Commission on Optics (ICO) Prize, the 1998 Adolph Lomb Medal from the Optical Society of America, the
Distinguished Lecturer Award from the IEEE/LEOS, and the R&D100 Award. He was President of the Australian Optical Society from 2008-2010 and is Editor for Optics Communications.

This
research was performed as part of the CUDOS Australian Research Council Centre
of Excellence program. CUDOS aims to develop the science and engineering to
transform photonic integrated circuits into a practical, powerful technology
employing optical signal processing to enable critical applications spanning
communications, sensing and security. This will enable the Internet to transfer
vast amounts of data; it will lead to secure transmission using quantum
photonics-based devices, and to the detection of mid-infrared signatures of
light from distant stars and complex molecules of environmental or biochemical
importance. CUDOS is a collaboration between Australia's leading universities
with photonic research programs, The University of Sydney, ANU, Macquarie University,
Swinburne University of Technology, RMIT, Monash University and UTS and partner
investigators from the world’s leaders in photonic research, both globally and
locally.
