Research Interests
My research interests are in new devices and schemes for optical interconnects. My work focuses on the development of monolithically integrated mode-locked laser capable of generating ultrafast pulses at very high repetition rates (10s of GHz). This kind of device finds multiple uses in optical interconnect systems. The high repetition rates, low jitter and fast pulses makes them interesting for clock distribution, optical sampling, and OTDM systems. Associated with such short pulses is a broad frequency spectrum composed of several lasing mode spaced from each other by an amount fix by the device parameters. This set of frequencies can be designed to meet the requirements for WDM interconnects, giving a compact single source for integrated systems. The high peak power of the pulses are also interesting for non-linear and bio applications.
