Silicon photonics: novel group-IV photonic materials and devices
矽光技術: 新穎IV-IV族光電材料及元件
Silicon photonics is a powerful technology to ultimately minimize photonic systems and realize complex and functional photonic integrated circuits. The key is to overcome the indirect bandgap of group-IV semiconductors for developing efficient photonic devices. Our group focus on the development of group-IV direct-bandgap SiGeSn materials systems for novel Si-based photonic devices. By adding Sn into Ge using low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy, the bandgap can be transferred to direct, thus suitable for photonic devices. We have demonstrated several the world’s first novel GeSn-based photonic devices, including light-emitters, optical modulators, and photodetectors, and we are one of the world-leading research team in the field of silicon photonics.
矽光技術是一項能將光電系統極致化地缩小、並創造具有複雜功能性的光電積體電路，關鍵在於克服IV族半導體先天間接能隙的物理限制，並發展高性能的矽基光電元件。
我們研究團隊致力於發展新型的IV-IV族SiGeSn光電材料及元件，藉由低溫分子束磊晶技術將Sn加入至Ge裡，我們能夠將材料轉換為直接能隙材料，並進一步發展高性能的矽基光電元件。我們研究團隊已經展示數項創新的矽基光電元件，包含發光元件、光調變器、以及光偵測器，並為目前全世界矽光技術的技術領先團隊之一。
Mid-infrared photonics

Mid-infrared (MIR) region in the spectral range of 1.8-5mm is an important region for wide-spectrum applications including optical communication, bio-medical detection, Lidar sensing, and spectrometry. Here we focus on the development of novel Si-based photonic devices for MIR applications. With the unique benefits of CMOS compatibility, our Si-based photonic devices can be monolithically integrated with Si circuity for novel applications.

Optical biosensors and systems
光學式生物感測器及系統
Optical biosensors with unique advantages of high sensitivity and label-free are particular suitable for bio-medical detection and clinic diagnosis. The challenges are to realize cost-effective, sensitive, and rapid optical biosensors. Our research group focus on the development of inject-molded optical biosensors. Using nano-injection-molded techniques, we have developed novel, disposable, low-cost guided-mode-resonance optical sensors. We have also developed novel cost-effective intensity-detection-based systems to form novel optical biosensing systems for clinic diagnosis, point-of-care and personalized and precision medicine.
光學式生物感測器具有高靈敏度、免標定的獨特優點，非常適合用來作為生醫感測及臨床診斷之用。雖然已有不少的光學式生物感測器發展面世，但是低成本、高靈敏度、快速的光學式光學式生物感測晶片才是邁向實用化的關鍵。
我們研究團隊著重於新型的光學式生物感測器以及感測系統，利用奈米射出成型技術發展波導模態共振生物感測器，搭配我們發展出來的獨特讀取系統——以光強度變化作為偵測機制，能夠實現高靈敏度及快速的生物感測系統，並運用在臨床診斷以及個人化精準醫療上。
