Prof. Bahram Jalali
Professor of Electrical Engineering
UCLARecent UCLA work on active silicon photonics including the demonstration of the first silicon laser will be presented. These devices exploit Raman and Kerr nonlinearities in tightly confined silicon waveguides to perform functions that were perceived to be impossible in pure silicon. It will also be shown that scaling the device dimensions is a priority as it enhances the efficiency of nonlinear interactions through the reduction of nonlinear absorption.Bahram Jalali is a Professor of Electrical Engineering, the former Director of the DARPA Center for Optical A/D System Technology (COAST). From 1988-1992, he was a Member of Technical Staff at the Physics Research Division of AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J. where he conducted research on ultrafast electronics and optoelectronics. He was responsible for successful development and delivery of 10 Giga bit-per-second lightwave circuits to U.S. Air Force in 1992. His current research interests are in microwave photonics, integrated optics and fiber optic ICs.
Dr. Jalali has over 200 publications and holds 6 US patents. He is a Fellow if IEEE and the Chair of the Los Angeles Chapter of the IEEE Lasers and Electro Optics Society (LEOS). He was the General Chair for the IEEE international conference on Microwave Photonics (MWP) in 2001 and its Steering Committee chair from 2001 – present. He is also a member of the California Nano Systems Institute (CNSI).
While on leave from UCLA from 1999-2001, Dr. Jalali founded Cognet Microsystems, a Los Angeles based fiber optic component company. He served as Cognet's CEO, President and Chairman, from the company's inception through its acquisition by Intel Corporation in April 2001. He received the BridgeGate 20 Award in recognition of his contributions to the Southern California economy. From 2001-2003, he served as a consultant in the Communication Group of Intel Corporation. Dr. Jalali serves on the Board of Trustees of the California Science Center.Date: Wednesday, November 3, 2004

AC Performance of Nanoelectronics

Peter Burke
University of California Irvine
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer ScienceIn this talk I will present an overview of the high-frequency properties and applications of carbon nanotubes, one realization of nano-electronic devices, and where the challenges and opportunities lie in this new field. The study of the ac properties of nano-electronic systems is still in its infancy.
The first step towards understanding the high-frequency electronic properties of carbon nanotubes is to understand the passive, ac impedance of a 1d quantum system. We have recently proposed an effective circuit model, currently being tested in our lab, for the ac impedance of a capacitively contacted nanotube, and a dc contacted nanotube . We also recently demonstrated the operation of carbon nanotube transistors at microwave frequencies (2.6 GHz). In our lab, we have also been able to synthesize the world's longest electrically contacted nanotubes (up to 0.4 cm in length), allowing us to elucidate the relationship between contact resistance and bulk resistance. Finally, we recently developed a model for nanotubes as antennas , which could be useful in connecting nano-electronics systems to the outside world via a wireless communications link, thus completely eliminating the need for lithographically defined contacts.Peter Burke received his PhD in physics from Yale University in 1998. From 1998-2001, he was a Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar in physics at Caltech. He has been with the University of California Irvine in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science since 2001. His current research areas include high-frequency properties of carbon nanotubes, and the nano-bio interface from an electronics point of view.Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2004
