INTEGRATED PHOTONICS: CHALLENGES and PERSPECTIVES
Silicon and hybrid silicon photonic devices for intra-datacenter applications: state of the art and perspectives [Invited]
Yu Li, Yu Zhang, Lei Zhang, and Andrew W. Poon
We review the state of the art and our perspectives on silicon and hybrid silicon photonic devices for optical interconnects in datacenters. After a brief discussion of the key requirements for intra-datacenter optical interconnects, we propose a wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM)-based optical interconnect for int

Lowering the energy consumption in silicon photonic devices and systems [Invited]
Zhiping Zhou, Bing Yin, Qingzhong Deng, Xinbai Li, and Jishi Cui
We review current silicon photonic devices and their performance in connection with energy consumption. Four critical issues are identified to lower energy consumption in devices and systems: reducing the influence of the thermo-optic effect, increasing the wall-plug efficiency of lasers on silicon, optimizing energy p

Laser Materials Processing
Laser-annealing-made amplified spontaneous emission of “giant” CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals transferred from bulk-like shell to quantum-confined core
Chen Liao, Kai Fan, Ruilin Xu, Huichao Zhang, Changgui Lu, Yiping Cui, and Jiayu Zhang
“Giant” CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized with thick CdS shell (15 monolayers), and the x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement indicates there is a zinc blende phase in the thick CdS shell, whereas it transformed into wurtzite phase under 5 min radiation with a 400 nm, 594 μJ∕cm2 femtosecond (fs) las
