Hon Tsang received the B.A. (Hons) degree in 1987 ( Engineering and Electrical and Information Sciences), and the Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in 1991, all from the University of Cambridge. He worked on Quantum Confined Stark Effect waveguide modulators as a visitor at Bell Communications Research Inc. (Bellcore) in 1990. Between 1991-93, he was a U.K. SERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bath. He joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1993 as a lecturer in the Department of Electronic Engineering. In 2002-2003 he was Director of ASOC Technology at Bookham Technology plc, UK. Hon Tsang has published over 100 papers in refereed journals and 150 papers in conference proceedings.  He was a former chair of the Hong Kong Chapter of IEEE Lasers and Electrooptics Society and currently serves as associate editor of the IEEE Photonics Society Newsletter and on the technical program committees of various conferences.

Current Research Interests

Silicon photonics and advanced technologies for next generation optical access networks (including silicon modulators, filters, optical receivers, subwavelength gratings and hybrid silicon lasers) and nanophotonics.  Ultrafast optical nonlinearities in semiconductors; all-optical signal processing;  planar lightwave circuits; silicon photonics for mid-infrared applications and nonlinear spectroscopy.
