There is a tremendous need for a “universal” approach to on-chip integration of various photonic elements without constraints imposed by the identity of the chip’s material. This would resolve the incompatibility problem of silicon microelectronics and III-V photonics, enhance scalability in traditional and quantum photonics and push sensitivity limits in on-chip diagnostics. Such a “universal” approach can be realized with solution-processable materials such as polymers, organic molecules, colloidal quantum dots and metal-halide perovskites. These structures can be prepared on virtually any substrate using spin-coating or ink-jet printing techniques without the need for a clean-room environment and restrictions due to lattice-match requirements.
This symposium aims to foster further advances in on-chip photonics by bringing together the traditional optical community and a community of scientists engaged in research into chemically processed optical materials and devices. It reviews recent advances, challenges and opportunities in the emerging field of solution-processable photonics. Its topics cover experimental and theoretical aspects of solution-processable optical materials, including syntheses, optical spectroscopy and applications in photonic devices. Of particular interest are subjects of optically and electrically driven lasers and amplifiers, high-performance LEDs, single-photon emitters, photodetectors and on-chip integration of these devices.
