DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. John E. Bowers\nAbstract: We review recent advances 
 in heterogeneous silicon photonic integration technology and components an
 d describe progress in silicon photonic integrated circuits. Techniques fo
 r laser integration and the impact of active silicon photonic integrated c
 ircuits could have on interconnects\, telecommunications and silicon elect
 ronics are reviewed. A variety of materials are being heterogeneously inte
 grated\, including arsenides for short wavelength lasers\, phosphides for 
 infrared lasers\, LiNbO3 for nonlinear applications and YIG for isolators 
 and circulators. One application that has been recently demonstrated is a 
 2.56 Tbit/s transceiver that involved integrating 64 DFB lasers with 64 EA
 Ms and 64 photodetectors together with 16 AWGs.\n\nBio: John E. Bowers hol
 ds the Fred Kavli Chair in Nanotechnology\, and is the Director of the Ins
 titute for Energy Efficiency and a Professor in the Departments of Materia
 ls and Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCSB. He is a cofounder of A
 urrion\, Aerius Photonics and Calient Networks.  Dr. Bowers received his 
 M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University and worked for AT&T Bell L
 aboratories and Honeywell before joining UC Santa Barbara. Dr. Bowers is a
  member of the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of
  Inventors.  He is a fellow of the IEEE\, OSA and the American Physical S
 ociety\, and a recipient of the IEEE Photonics Award\, OSA Tyndal Award\, 
 the OSA Holonyak Prize\, the IEEE LEOS William Streifer Award and the Sout
 h Coast Business and Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He has pub
 lished eight book chapters\, 600 journal papers\, 900 conference papers an
 d has received 54 patents.  He and coworkers received the EE Times Annual
  Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for Most Promising Technology for t
 he hybrid silicon laser in 2007.
