About

Xiyuan Lu is an Assistant Research Scientist working primarily on the NIST campus. He received a B.S. in Physics from Nanjing University, China and a Ph.D. in Physics from University of Rochester. His doctoral research focused on developing and characterizing entangled photon sources and heralded single photon sources in high-quality silicon microresonators, and on fabricating silicon carbide micro/nanophotonic devices for optomechanical and nonlinear optical applications. He is now working to develop chip-scale nonlinear photonic devices such as optical parametric oscillators, spectral translators, and entangled photon-pairs sources.

    New results on chip-scale lasers based on nonlinear integrated photonics

    September 30, 2024

    In two new papers, we describe how to increase the continuous tuning range of chip-integrated optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) and we demonstrate dense coverage of the so-called 'green gap' spectral region using such OPOs.
