| Speaker | Professor Benjamin Eggleton is the Director of The University of Sydney Nano Institute. He also currently serves as co-Director of the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN). He was previously an ARC Laureate Fellow and an ARC Federation Fellow twice and was founding Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) from 2003-2017. Eggleton is the author or coauthor of more than 490 journal publications, including Science, Nature Photonics, Nature Physics, Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters and Optica and over 200 invited presentations. His journal papers have been cited 22,000 times according to webofscience with an h-number of 71 (93 in google scholar). Eggleton is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS), the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE), the Optical Society of America, IEEE Photonics and SPIE. He is Editor-in-Chief of APL Photonics. |

Nanophotonics deals with the manipulating of lightwaves at the nanoscale using nanostructures, such as nanowires, photonic crystals, plasmonics and metamaterials. My talk will review recent breakthroughs in achieving on-chip control of lightwaves using nanophotonic circuits etched into hybrid planar geometries, particularly silicon based. I will emphasize new ultracompact signal processing functions realized using nonlinear optical effects, including Brillouin scattering, which harness the interaction between light and sound waves for applications in telecommunications, sensing and microwave technologies.
