Hi Everyone,

UCB's Photobears is excited to invite you to an upcoming seminar featuring Professor Mengjie Yu, assistant professor here at the EECS department. She will talk about the fascinating world of nonlinear optics using thin film lithium niobate!

Add to Google Calendar.

Time: Friday April 11th, 12-1pm

Location: Soda hall, Wozniak Lounge (room number 430-438)

Please RSVP here. Lunch will be provided.

Title: Scalable Nonlinear Optics on Chip: From Fundamentals to Applications

Shortened abstract: In this talk, I will review our recent developments of 1) Chip-based optical frequency combs via Kerr nonlinearity, second order nonlinearity and EO effect 2) combination of EO devices and Kerr nonlinear devices to generate optical pulses with 10^-14 fraction of a second on chip 3) high performance electro-optic modulators for optical communication and computing, and 4) optomechanical resonators for infrared imaging and sensing. Lastly, (if time allows), I would include professional development advice.

Shortened bio: Mengjie and her research group focuses on developing nanoscale nonlinear and quantum photonics devices for optical communication, computing, sensing, and metrology. She serves on the Early Career Editorial Advisory Board for APL Photonics. She is the 2020 Optica (formerly OSA) Ambassador, the Caltech 2019 Young Investigator Lecturer and received DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2023 and Intel Rising Star Award in 2024.

Please find the complete abstract and bio in the attached PDF.

Best,

Yiyang
