Recent Development in Bulk-Ge-based On-chip Light Emitters and VCSELs
* Guangrui Xia, the University of British Columbia, Canada This talk summarizes the recent R&D progress of epitaxial Ge lasers, bulk-Ge-based light emitters, and Ge-VCSELs, especially the research efforts from the author’s research group and her collaborators. |

Large-mode-area integrated photonics for high-power lasers and amplifiers
* Neetesh Singh, DESY, Germany High power and high energy optical systems find various applications. Not surprisingly, such systems are associated with large benchtop fiber and solid-state systems owing mainly to their large energy storage capacity and high gain saturation power. Integrated photonics on the other hand, due to their small size, which enables miniaturization, do not offer high power functionality. In this talk, I will present our work on high energy (10s of nanojoule), and high power (>1 W) lasers and amplifiers which are based on the large-mode-area waveguide technology on a compact silicon photonics chip. |

Modelling and design of complex light matter interactions on the nanoscale
* Lora Ramunno, Department of Physics and Nexus for Quantum Technologies Institute, University of Ottawa, Canada Computational electrodynamics is ubiquitous in nanophtonics modelling. I will describe our in-house electrodynamics software that goes beyond usual FDTD, in order to model complex light matter interactions on the nanoscale (including nonlinear and time-dependent materials) as well as our approach to the inverse design of complex light-matter interactions. |
