PhD topic and brief description
- My project revolves around the theme of high-efficiency and state-preserving conversion of microwave signals to optical frequencies with direct electro-optical interaction. Instead of adopting bulk optical and microwave cavities, we aim to realize a hybrid integrated architecture, exploiting the large vacuum field and reduced electromagnetic mode volume offered by superconducting resonators to enhance dramatically the conversion rate. In addition, wafer bonding of crystalline Lithium Niobate-on-insulator thin films opens the door to the integration of electro-optical materials with high-density photonic devices.
