ABSTRACT

New design and fabrication technologies of antiproton including GaAs-based two-dimensional photonic crystal slab waveguides and InAs-based quantum dots will be addressed for a symmetric Mach-Zehnder type, ultra-small and ultra-fast all-optical switch (PC-SMZ) and a new logic device.

ABOUT DR. SUGIMOTO

Yoshimasa Sugimoto received his B.E., M.E., and Ph. D degree in electronic engineering from Shizuoka University in 1978, 1980 and 1996, respectively. In 1980, he joined the Central Research Laboratories, NEC Corporation. He temporarily joined Optoelectronics Technology Research Laboratory (OTL) from 1987 to 1991. In 1991, he came back to the Opto-Electronics Research Laboratories, NEC Corporation, Tsukuba. He has been engaged in the research and development of photo-detectors, VCSELs and dry etching process for III-V compound semiconductors. From 2000 to 2004, he joined the Femtosecond Technology Research Association (FESTA), where he developed nanoprocessing technologies of photonic crystals for ultra-fast photonic devices. From 2005, he is engaged in the National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (AIST), where he is currently developing photonic crystals based nano-photonic devices. From 2004, he is also a Visiting Professor in the Center of Tsukuba Advanced Research Alliance (TARA), University of Tsukuba.
