Two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures as a novel platform for integrated optoelectronic devices
Abstract: The emerging field of two-dimensional (2d) materials provides an exciting opportunity to explore new technological paradigms in photonics and optoelectronics. The richness of optical and electronic properties of 2d materials and versatility of van der Waals heterostructures allow new approaches for designing novel optoelectronic devices across a wide range of electromagnetic spectrum. Despite being atomically thin, 2d materials strongly interact with light and pave a way to realization of various functionalities including energy efficient optical modulators, broadband photodetectors, light emitters, single photon sources, saturable absorbers, ultrafast lasers and more. In this talk, I will present my research on 2d materials based optoelectronic devices and hybrid 2d/3d systems, addressing graphene integration with silicon photonics and exploring van der Waals heterostructures for flexible photodetection and light emission applications. Key aspects related to device physics, material properties, fabrication process development and system performances will be discussed.
Bio: Dr. Ilya Goykhman is a Senior Research Associate at the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) and a Lecturer at the Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Cambridge. He leads Cambridge research activities on the topic of graphene optoelectronics in the European Graphene flagship program, with total funding of one billion Euro. He is a task-leader in optoelectronics work package in the Graphene flagship. Prior to joining CGC, he was graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His major research interests are integrated 2d/3d devices and van der Waals heterostructures, with focus on optoelectronics, device physics, technology development of graphene and 2d materials, 2d/3d hybrid systems, flexible devices and advanced nano-fabrication techniques for applications in communication, light generation, quantum optics, sensing, memory and energy harvesting.
