Title: Hybrid integration of functional materials on silicon photonics platform

Time: 9:00 a.m. Friday July 26th, 2019  

Location:  Conference Room 3016 Gezhi Building

AbstractSilicon photonics has demonstrated great potential in many applications for biochemical sensing, enabled by surface functionalisation via selective chemistry. However, it is challenging for such sensors to detect ionic species which are also of great importance in many biochemical processes and metabolic activities of microorganisms.  In this talk, we will introduce a functionalisation-free silicon photonic biochemical sensor enabled by an ionic dopant-driven plasmonic material.
