   Author : Alessandro Prencipe; Katia Gallo; Val Zwiller; Mohammed Amin Baghban; Rachel Grange; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Integrated optics; Electro-optics; Thin film lithium niobate; Phase shifted Bragg grating; Waveguide-integrated single photon detectors; Erbium implantation; Integrerad optik; elektrooptik; tunnfilmslitiumniobat; fasfo ̈rskjutet Bragg-gitter; V ̊agledare-integrerade singelfotondetektorer; Erbiumimplantation.; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik;

   Abstract : Photonic devices play a fundamental role in today’s society and are a central building blocks for numerous applications, ranging from modern internet to sensing and manufacturing, and photonics is foreseen to be the backbone of future quantum internet and quantum communication systems thanks to the long coherence time of light. At variance with electronic integrated circuits, where silicon has been the material of election for many decades, in the case of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) there are numerous options available for the material substrate.

5. 3. Silicon Based Photonic Devices and Their Applications

   Author : Qiang Li; Min Qiu; Geert Morthier; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics; Optik;

   Abstract : The integration of modern electronic devices for information processing is rapidly ap-proaching an interconnect bottleneck. Silicon photonics can be a promising solution forcircumventing this bottleneck, as already being anticipated by many electronics manu-facturers including HP, IBM and Intel. READ MORE

6. 4. Silicon-based Photonic Devices : Design, Fabrication and Characterization

   Author : Ziyang Zhang; Min Qiu; Thomas Koch; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonic Devices; Silicon Photonics; Parallel Computation; Nanofabrication; Electron Beam Lithography; Optical Characterisation; Optics; Optik;

   Abstract : The field of Information and Communication Technologies is witnessing a development speed unprecedented in history. Moore’s law proves that the processor speed and memory size are roughly doubling each 18 months, which is expected to continue in the next decade. READ MORE

7. 5. Optical Studies For Synchrotron Radiation Beamlines

   Author : Walan Grizolli; Lunds universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synchrotron Radiation; Optics; X-ray Optics; Beamline; Polarimetry; Coherence; Storage Rings; Diffraction Limited Storage Rings;

   Abstract : Synchrotron radiation sources have greatly contributed to the progress in many fields of science. The development of the storage ring technologies has made possible to obtain very low emittance electron beams, which together with the use of undulators allow guiding a very high photon flux into a very small spot required by the experiments.
