Light People: Prof. Daoxin Dai, Dr. Patrick Lo, and Prof. Yikai Su—innovators in silicon photonics

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: EDITORIAL: In this edition of Light People, we are excited to feature Prof. Daoxin Dai (Zhejiang University), Prof. Yikai Su (Shanghai Jiao Tong University), and Dr. Patrick Lo (Advanced Micro Foundry Pte Ltd, Singapore), three prominent researchers shaping the future of silicon photonics. Their collaborative work addresses critical issues in silicon photonics, including reducing propagation losses, enlarging the functionalities and enhancing building blocks, integrating efficient laser sources, expanding applications, and pushing the boundaries of optical and electronic integration. Through this interview, we delve into their academic journeys, challenges, and future visions, offering insights into the ongoing evolution of silicon photonics and its potential to transform industries. For a deeper exploration of their experiences and advice, the full interview is available in the Supplementary material.
