Despite the increasing interests in SiC-based integrated photonics, there is a lack of high-quality SiC material platform that is both reliable and cost-effective for integrated photonic applications. The proposed techniques lead to a SiCOI platform that enables integrated SiC microresonators with record-high quality-factors (Qs) working over a wide bandwidth, from visible to near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, which can dramatically enhance light-matter interactions in SiC. Towards the goal of achieving a fully integrated SiC photonics platform, we also introduce reconfigurable devices, integrated laser sources, and on-chip single-photon detectors into the SiCOI platform. These efforts are intended to realize wafer-level manufacturing of SiC devices, paving the way toward commercialization of integrated photonic solutions based on SiC.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Low-Cost High-Quality Crystalline Silicon-Carbide-on-Insulator Platform for Integrated Photonics Applications"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2019-11-21 19:03:31","changed_gmt":"2019-11-21 19:03:31","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-12-03T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-12-03T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-12-03T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-12-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-12-03 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-12-03 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
