Xiyuan Lu

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.
