Title: Solitons and Light-Matter Dynamics in Integrated Photonic Chips
Summary:
– Chad Husko from Argonne National Laboratory presented research on semiconductor optical waveguides and their potential for controlling light in photonic chips
– The study focused on nonlinear light-matter interactions and solitons in photonic crystal waveguides
– By independently tuning dispersion and nonlinearity, researchers can examine different nonlinear regimes
– Husko’s research has been supported by analytic modeling and experimental measurements
– Husko has held various research positions and is currently an Alexei Abrikosov Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory
– His research focuses on nanoscale light-matter interaction and hybrid nanophotonic 2D materials and devices
