DESCRIPTION:Professor Yeshaiahu (Shaya) Fainman is a Cymer Professor of Ad
 vanced Optical Technologies and Distinguished Professor in Electrical and 
 Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of California\, San Diego (UC
 SD). He received the Ph. D. from Technion in 1983. Currently he is directi
 ng research of the Ultrafast and Nanoscale Optics group at UCSD and made n
 umerous contributions to near field optical phenomena\, inhomogeneous and 
 meta-materials\, nanophotonics and plasmonics\, and non-conventional imagi
 ng.  The research applications target information technologies and biomed
 ical sensing.  His current research interests are in near field optical s
 cience and technology.  He contributed over 300 manuscripts in peer revie
 w journals and over 450 conference presentations and conference proceeding
 s. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America\, Fellow of the Instit
 ute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\, Fellow of the Society of Pho
 to-Optical Instrumentation Engineers\, and a recipient of the Miriam and A
 haron Gutvirt Prize\, Lady Davis Fellowship\, Brown Award\, Gabor Award\, 
 Emmett N. Leith Medal and Joseph Fraunhofer Award/Robert M. Burley Prize. 
    \n\nAbstract:\nVarious future system applications that involve photon
 ic technology rely on our ability to integrate it on a chip to augment and
 /or interact with other signals (e.g.\, electrical\, chemical\, biomedical
 \, etc.).  To advance the nanophotonics technology we established design\
 , fabrication and testing tools at UCSD.  Our research work emphasizes th
 e construction of passive (e.g.\, engineered composite metamaterials\, fil
 ters\, etc.) and active (e.g.\, modulators\, nanolasers) components on-chi
 p\, with the same lithographic tools as electronics. In this talk\, we dis
 cuss progress in passive and active integrated photonic devices\, circuits
  and systems that recently have been demonstrated in our labs.\n
