Nonlinear and Electro-Optic Metal-Oxides for Photonic Devices

“Nonlinear and electro-optic devices are widespread as light sources for microsurgery, green laser pointers, or modulators for telecommunication. Most of them use bulk materials such as glass fibres or high-quality crystals, hardly integrable or scalable. Here I will show several strategies to enhance optical signals by engineering metal-oxides at the nanoscale with the goal of developing nonlinear and electro-optic photonics devices for a broad spectral range and over large surface area.We use metal-oxides such as barium titanate and lithium niobate as a platform for integrated photonics.I will present innovative fabrication approaches of metal-oxides materials that are very different from standard semiconductors or metals.” Link to Youtube livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IZm85UuXBM
