Tsang’s Biography

Hon Tsang was born in Hong Kong and studied Engineering and Electrical and information sciences at University of Cambridge, graduating with BA (Hons) in 1987. He then pursued graduate studies and completed a PhD at Cambridge University in 1991. His PhD dissertation was on “III-V semiconductor waveguides devices and their nonlinear optical properties”. He was postdoctoral fellow in the School of Physics, University of Bath for almost 3 years before joining CUHK in September 1993. After struggling unsuccessfully to establish a clean room for III-V device fabrication in CUHK, he shifted his research to the the emerging field of silicon photonics in 2000. From its small beginnings, attracting interest from only a handful of groups, silicon photonics has grown to be an exciting area of research (watch Tsang’s interview by OSA) in the last 25 years to become a mainstream technology for high speed energy efficient communications.  It has become a key technology for optical interconnects in data centers, with large volume of Si photonics transceivers being manufactured by companies such as Intel.  Despite the apparent technological maturity and commercial success of silicon photonics transceivers, silicon photonics today remains a fruitful topic for academic research because there remains many important potential future applications that are relatively unexplored. Energy efficient on-chip optical interconnects for high performance computers, low-cost integrated gas sensors and integrated biosensors, and integrated quantum photonic devices for quantum computing, quantum metrology and quantum communications are examples ripe for academic research. Tsang’s contributions to the field of Si photonics include early work on the nonlinear properties of guided wave optics in silicon waveguides: he carried out some of the first experimental measurements of the Kerr nonlinearity in silicon waveguides, the first studies of two photon absorption and associated free carrier absorption that forms the basis of the now widely accepted model of two photon absorption and free carrier absorption in silicon waveguides. With this understanding he was able to realize the first high net-gain waveguide silicon Raman amplifier in 2004. These papers are still very relevant today in the design of silicon nanophotonic integrated circuits because the tiny cross-sectional areas of silicon waveguides enable nonlinear optical effects such as two photon absorption or self-phase modulation to manifest at optical powers as low as a few milliwatts. At the end of 2001 Tsang joined Bookham Technology plc,  to work on the commercialization of silicon photonics.  At Bookham he led the R&D team on silicon waveguide variable optical attenuator arrays which were qualified and commercially deployed to carry live traffic in telecommunications networks.  Those early silicon photonic products enabled dynamic balancing of optical power levels during the reconfiguration of Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) telecommunication networks. Tsang rturened to CUHK in summer 2003 and he has since continued to advance the field of silicon photonics. Tsang’s research group’s most recent research contributions  include the first multimode waveguide grating couplers for selective-launch of different modes in multimode fibers, advances in waveguide grating couplers that enabled sub-decibel coupling loss using standard foundry photolithography and fabrication process, and advances in the state-of-the-art for Si modulators to demonstrate one of the highest modulator data rates >300Gb/s. Tsang has a keen interest in knowledge transfer and two major research projects with potential for commercialization include advanced silicon photonics for mode-division-multiplexed communications in multimode fibers, and the development of photonics systems-on-chip  for optical coherence tomography and imaging. He also has longer term academic research interests on

·         Integrated quantum photonics for quantum metrology

·         Hybrid integration on silicon including the use of  2D materials (such as graphene, MoS2, WS2 WSe2 , hBN etc) and III-V semiconductors for photodetectors, modulators and lasers

·        Tunable silicon Raman lasers for spectroscopic gas monitoring
