September 2012 

On behalf of the IEEE Photonics Society Board of 

Governors and Staff I would like to welcome you to 

Burlingame for the IEEE Photonics 2012 conference. As 

you may know, this represents the 25th year in this series of 

conferences which were formerly known as the LEOS 

Annual Meeting. 

We are particularly pleased with the number and quality of 

the submissions to this year’s conference. Submissions, at 

441, were up again this year over last year making this the 

largest number of submissions received for our annual 

conference in my full six-year tenure as Executive Director 

of our Society. Congratulations to the hard-working Program Committee and the IPS 

conference staff! Complementing the contributed papers we also have 125 invited 

papers, 4 tutorials and 4 plenary talks this year for a total of 519 presentations. We 

hope you will appreciate the many high-quality technical sessions and special 

symposia presented in this year’s program as well as our location here with easy 

access to San Francisco. 

If you are not already an IEEE Photonics Society member you may sign up anytime 

online at www.ieee.org/membership/join so that you may begin to enjoy the many 

benefits of membership including online access to many of our journals and conference 

proceedings, reduced registration rates, and access to our online member 

directory. 

Again this year the IEEE Photonics Society will make available recordings of selected 

presentations with video display of the presentation materials at the low price of $35. 

If you did not sign up for this conference feature at registration you may do so at any 

time during the conference at the registration desk. The recordings will be accessible 

via the web for 60 after the conference. Last year was our first experiment with this 

offering and many people found it extremely helpful to view presentations that they 

may have missed due to a conflict in their schedule. Please check out this feature 

and give us your feedback! 

The IEEE Photonics Society is pleased to spotlight the recent report from the National 

Academy of Sciences entitled: Optics and Photonics: Essential Technologies for 

Our Nation. Alan Willner, co-chair of the NAS committee that produced the report, 

will present a brief review of the committee’s conclusions and will address questions 

on Sunday evening at 7pm directly after the Semiconductor Laser Symposium. 

Finally, I’d like to encourage you to join us 8-12 September 2013 at the Hyatt 

Regency Bellevue, Bellevue WA for the IEEE Photonics Conference 2013. Hope to 

see you there!

Welcome to San Francisco, California and the 25th IEEE Photonics Conference 

(previously known as the IEEE LEOS Annual Meeting). Following in the path of 

previous successful meetings, this year’s conference features an extensive 

range of technical activities in addition to some unique events. 

The conference opens on Sunday with a GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) 

session focused on career development and networking opportunities for recent 

graduates in the photonics field. This is followed by the “Careers In Research 

Forum”. The charter of the Careers in Research Forum is to promote career 

awareness among students and young researchers in photonics and related 

fields. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to a welcome address and 

invited presentations from leading researchers in academia and industry highlighting 

milestones for achieving success. They are: Prof. Scott Yam from Queen’s University, Canada, 

and Prof. Odile Liboiron-Ladouceur from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McGill 

University. The next event is the “Entrepreneurs Session”. This session will feature invited presentations 

from a number of successful photonics entrepreneurs who will present their personal perspectives and 

insights on successfully commercializing photonics technology as well as the lessons they learnt along 

the way. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear first-hand about the dynamic world of 

photonics startups and to learn about what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur. Following the 

presentations, there will be a panel discussion to field questions from the audience. The presenters 

include Prof. H. Scott Hinton from Utah State University, Dr. Raymond Beausoleil from HP Labs, and Dr. 

David Rolston from Reflex Photonics. 

The last event on Sunday’s schedule is a 50th Anniversary of the Semiconductor Laser Session & 

Reception. 2012 marks a very special birthday as it is the 50th Anniversary of the Semiconductor Laser. 

The very first operational semiconductor laser was made in 1962. In the 50 years since we have 

witnessed great progress in its development. To celebrate the occasion, there will be a special session 

on Sunday evening devoted to the semiconductor laser. Several renowned researchers including Prof. 

James Coleman from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, Prof. Thomas Koch from the 

University of Arizona, and Dr. Don Scifres from SDL Ventures Inc., will provide some historical perspectives 

and share their experiences in the development of semiconductor laser technology. 

We will hold two plenary sessions, one each on Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon. Four distinguished 

speakers (two per day) will provide their insight on a range of topics: “Large-Area, Flexible, 

Organic Photonics and Electronics” by Prof. Takao Someya, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan; “Driving 

VCSELs and Silicon Photonic Optical Interconnects to Brutal Area and Energy Efficiencies for Future 

Computing Systems” by Dr. Ashok Krishnamoorthy, Oracle, San Diego, CA, USA; “3D Photonic 

Metamaterials and Transformation Optics”, by Prof. Martin Wegener, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 

Karlsruhe, Germany; and “The Opto-Electronic Physics that Just Broke the Efficiency Record in Solar 

Cells” by Prof. Eli Yablonovitch, University of California – Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA. 

We will also have seven tutorials that have been scheduled throughout the week which will be given by 

four distinguished researchers on the following topics: “Solar Cells” by Prof. Vikram Dalal, Director of the 

Microelectronics Research Center at Iowa State University.; “Cavity Optomechanics” by Prof. Kerry 

Vahala, California Institute of Technology, USA; “Microwave Photonic Filters” by Dr. Lute Maleki, 

OEWaves, USA; and “Coherent Communication” by Dr. Peter Winzer, Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent, 

USA. 

The main technical program of the meeting this year is extremely strong. The Society’s 14 program 

subcommittees have assembled an outstanding program comprising 4 Special Symposia, 125 invited 

talks and 441 contributed papers, over half of which are contributed by student authors. There were 23 

papers submitted for the Best Student Paper Aware. 5 were nominated by the program subcommittees 

and five student awards will be presented at Monday evening’s Awards Reception. 

On behalf of my fellow conference Chairs, I wish to express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers 

who have contributed to the success of this year’s meeting; especially the Chairs and Members of the 

Society’s Program Subcommittees who invested an extraordinary amount of their time selecting invited 

speakers, reviewing papers, and organizing the high quality technical sessions. In addition, the hard 

work and enthusiastic dedication of the Photonics Society conference activities staff is greatly appreciated 

and they are to be congratulated for skillfully coordinating the complex logistics of this large event. 

In particular, special thanks go to Mary Hendrickx and Katrina Edsell for their tireless efforts. 

We hope you have a very rewarding and enjoyable conference!

Ashok Krishnamoorthy, Oracle, San Diego, CA, USA 

Title: Driving VCSELs and Silicon Photonic Optical Interconnects to 

Brutal Area and Energy Efficiencies for Future Computing Systems 

Abstract: Optical interconnects play an integral role in the interconnect hierarchy of large-scale digital computing systems. Today, systems 

use vertical cavity laser modules soldered to circuit boards containing the processing and switching chips. A future vision for a many-chip 

module based on silicon photonic interposers closely stitches together tens of chips and provide a dense and efficient communication infrastructure. 

We review the guiding design principles for this “macrochip” design and describe the energy, loss, and area budgets for a 

break-through optical link.

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM 

Session Chair: Dalma Novak 

PLE2.1 3:30 PM – 4:15 PM 

Martin Wegener, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany 

Title: 3D Photonic Metamaterials and Transformation Optics 

Abstract: Metamaterials are tailored man-made materials that can exhibit properties not accessible in natural substances [1]. Transformation 

optics goes one step further and treats intentionally spatially inhomogeneous metamaterial structures, aiming at achieving certain functionalities 

like, e.g., invisibility cloaking [1]. I will give an introduction into these fields and review our recent experimental progress regarding 

three-dimensional structures. Direct-laser-writing (DLW) optical lithography and stimulated-emission-depletion (STED) DLW are used for 

fabrication. [1] M. Wegener and S. Linden, “Shaping Optical Space with Metamaterials”, Physics Today 63, 32 (2010) 

Biography: After completing his PhD in physics in 1987 at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Framkfurt 

(Germany), he spent two years as a postdoc at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel (U.S.A.). From 1990-1995 he was 

C3-Professor at Universitat Karlsruhe (TH). Since 2001 he has had a joint appointment at Institut fur Nanotechnologie 

of Forchungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH. Since 2001 he has also been a coordinator of the DFG-Center for Functional 

Nanostructures (CFN) in Karlsruhe. His reasearch interests are comprised of ultrafast optics (extreme) nonlinear 

optics, near-field optics, photonics crystals, photonic metamaterials and transformation optics. This research has led 

to various awards and honors, among which are the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Research Award 1993, the 

Baden-Wurttemberg Teaching Award 1998, the DFG Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Award 2000, the European Union Rene 

Descartes Prize 2005, the Baden-Wurttemberg Research Award 2005, and the Carl Ziess Research Award 2006. He is a 

member of Leopoldina, the German Academy of Sciences (since 2006), Fellow of the Optical Society of America (since 2008), Fellow of the 

Hector Foundation (since 2008), Adjunct Professor at the Optical Sciences Center, Tucson, U.S.A. (since 2009). 

PLE2.2 4:15 PM – 5:00 PM 

Eli Yablonovitch, University of California – Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA 

Title: The Opto-Electronic Physics that Just Broke the 

Efficiency Record in Solar Cells 

Abstract: After languishing at 25.1% efficiency for almost 20 years, the record efficiency in solar cells has suddenly reached 28.8% 

efficiency. The improvements above 25.1% rely upon photonics, light transport, and luminescence extraction, rather than upon electronic 

properties. 

Biography: Eli Yablonovitch is Director of the NSF Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (E3S), a multi- 

University Center based at Berkeley. 

He received his Ph.d. degree in Applied Physics from Harvard University in 1972. He worked for two years at Bell 

Telephone Laboratories, and then became a professor of Applied Physics at Harvard. In 1979 he joined Exxon to do 

research on photovoltaic solar energy. Then in 1984, he joined Bell Communications Research, where he was a 

Distinguished Member of Staff, and also Director of Solid-State Physics Research. In 1992 he joined the University of 

California, Los Angeles, where he was the Northrop-Grumman Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering. Then in 

2007 he became Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, where he holds the 

James & Katherine Lau Chair in Engineering. 

In his photovoltaic research, Yablonovitch introduced the 4n2 light-trapping factor that is used commercially in almost all high performance 

solar cells. Yablonovitch introduced the idea that strained semiconductor lasers could have superior performance due to reduced valence band 

(hole) effective mass. Today, almost all semiconductor lasers use this concept, including telecommunications lasers, DVD players, and laser 

pointers. 

Yablonovitch is regarded as one of the Fathers of the Photonic BandGap concept, and coined the term “Photonic Crystal”.

Technology 

The symposium will focus on the current status and related technologies to realize III-V/Si 

hybrid photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for Silicon Photonics. Integrating III-V semiconductors 

on Si is a promising way to have optical gain / absorption devices on Si in Silicon 

Photonics. There are several fabrication methods including direct growth, wafer bonding 

and so on. Device structures are also varied by applications (telecom, interconnects, onchip, 

sensors, etc.) and fabrication methods. Topics will cover fabrication technologies, 

device designs, device characteristics, applications and futures of such heterogeneous 

integration for Silicon Photonics.

Sanjay Krishna, University of New Mexico, USA 

Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in the interaction of electromagnetic radiation 

with nanoscale metal-dielectric structures. Their local field concentration and unique 

light scattering properties afforded by these objects has led to a fundamental interest in 

plasmonic and metamaterial structures. Of particular interest is the application of this 

phenomenon to energy harvesting photovoltaic devices, in which the absorption can be 

significantly enhanced by means of these nanophotonic effects including broadband and 

resonant enhancement. In this symposium, a series of presentations by various leading 

researchers will describe the role of plasmonics and nanophotonics in solar cells and 

photovoltaics. The symposium includes both theoretical and experimental aspects of the 

topic.

communication systems, including Raman amplification, advanced optical modulation formats and receiver concepts, digital signal 

processing and coding, as well as on robust network architectures for dynamic data services. He demonstrated several high-speed 

and high-capacity optical transmission records from 10 to 400 Gb/s, including the first 100G and the first 400G electronically multiplexed 

optical transmission systems and the first field trial of live 100G video traffic over an existing carrier network. Since 2008 he 

has been investigating spatial multiplexing as a promising option to scale optical transport systems. He has widely published and 

patented and is actively involved in technical and organizational tasks with the IEEE Photonics Society and the OSA. He is a Distinguished Member of Technical 

Staff at Bell Labs and a Fellow of the IEEE and the OSA.

S. P. DenBaars, C.-C. Pan, N. Pfaff, S. Tanaka, 

J. S. Speck and S. Nakamura, University of 

California – Santa Barbara, CA, USA 

LEDs fabricated from gallium nitride have lead to 

the realization of high-efficiency white solid-state 

lighting. Currently, GaN white LEDs exhibit 

luminous efficacy greater than 150 lm/Watt, and 

external quantum effiencies higher than 60%. 

This has enabled LEDs to compete with traditional 

lighting technologies such as incandescent 

and CFL. Further improvements in materials 

quality and cost reduction are necessary for 

wide-spread adoption of LEDs for lighting. A 

review of the unique polarization anisotropy in 

GaN is included for the different crystal orientations. 

Emphasis on nonpolar LEDs will highlight 

high-power violet and blue emitters and 

considers the effects of indium incorporation and 

substrate miscut. Recently, semipolar LEDs have 

demonstrated high EQE of 50% at high current 

densities. Semipolar GaN materials have enable 

the development of LEDs in green, and recent 

achievements of green laser diodes at 520nm.
