Photonic Integrated Circuit
Photonic Integrated Circuit
Our laboratory explores integrated photonic platforms for laser-based displays and neuromorphic sensing. The laser display system employs RGB sources routed through wavelength-division multiplexers, ring-resonator phase modulators, and grating couplers to realize pixel-level optical switching, which can be delivered through eyepiece waveguides for smart-glass applications. For neuromorphic computing, IGZO-based phototransistors are integrated on silicon-nitride waveguides to generate wavelength-dependent and intensity-dependent responses suitable for photonic inference tasks.

Phototransistor
We investigate phototransistors and photodetectors based on ZnO, ITO, and oxide semiconductors. By tuning the bandgap through cation doping, we control the photoresponse and suppress persistent photoconductivity (PPC). These materials are also integrated as heterojunctions with IGZO channel layers, enabling precise control of current levels via the gate and source/drain electrodes. In addition, we integrate photodetectors on optical waveguides to detect guided light and explore their application in neuromorphic computing.
