对微纳光子学发展的一些战略思考

Strategical Thinking on Development of Micro- and Nano-Photonics

对比电子学和光子学的发展路线图,提出光子学及其2个发展阶段——微光子学和纳光子学的定义,并介绍它们的主要研究内容。指出微光子技术主要是"以电控光"的技术,其关键器件是半导体激光器;纳光子技术主要是"以光控光"的技术,其关键器件是全光开关。

The photonics has two developing phases： microphotonics and nanophotonics. The definitions of them are point out, and their contents are introduced. The key devices for microphotonics are semiconductor lasers, which are controlling photons with electrons; the key devices for nanophotonics are all-optical switches, which are controlling photons with photons.
