Seminar: "Enhanced light matter interactions in
silicon plasmonic platform" by Dr. Uriel Levy
Friday, August 8, 2014 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
CREOL Room 102
CREOL Room 102
Abstract:
Following the ongoing effort for miniaturization of devices
and systems, on chip nanoscale photonic and plasmonic based devices and system
are becoming a reality. In this talk I describe our recent progress towards the
construction of on chip silicon photonics and silicon plasmonics passive and
active devices. This effort include the demonstration of plasmonic enhanced
silicon photo detectors for the infrared, nanoscale electro optical modulators
in silicon, nanoscale confinement of electromagnetic energy and nonlinear
interactions of light with hot vapor on a chip. Additionally, I will present an
approach for thermal mapping with nanoscale resolution and apply this approach
for the characterization of nanoscale photonic and plasmonic devices. Finally,
I will share our recent results of on chip spectroscopy and nonlinear interactions
using the platform of atomic clad waveguide and plasmonic assisted atomic
transitions.
Biography:
Prof. Uriel Levy joined the Department of Applied Physics,
School of Engineering and Computer Science of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem (HUJI) in fall 2006. Prior to that he spent nearly 4 years as a post
graduate researcher at the University of California, San Diego. He holds a Ph.D
degree in electrical engineering from Tel Aviv University and BS.c in physics
and material engineering from the Technion institute of technology. His major
research interests include nanophotonics, with focus on silicon photonics and
plasmonics, for applications in communication, imaging, lithography, memory,
alternative energy and sensing.
