Herzlich Willkommen to the 14th International Conference on Group IV Photonics

On behalf of the organization committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 14th Conference

on Group IV Photonics (GFP 2017) that will take place from the 23rd to the 25th of August 2017 at

the Grand Hyatt Berlin, Germany. It will be preceded by a workshop on Silicon Photonics

Computer Aided Design (CAD) flows on the afternoon of the 22nd organized by leading simulation

and design tool providers. An industry session on Wednesday afternoon is specially aimed at

recent/future graduates as well as experienced researchers who want to be informed/stay abreast

of opportunities and recent trends in industrial use of the technology. Best Paper, Best Student

Paper and Best Poster Awards have been generously endowed by our sponsors. A sponsored

Welcome Reception and a sponsored Gala Dinner on Thursday night will give participants the

opportunity to connect in an informal setting.

Since the inception of the conference in 2004, we have witnessed evolving foci as the Group IV

Photonics field has matured and diversified into different materials, wavelengths and applications.

This year, we have added a fourth topic, “Sensing and Instrumentation”, to the preexisting “Novel

Materials, Nanophotonics and Processes”, “Photonic Devices” and “Application and Systems”, in

order to emphasize the diversification of applications from a very communications centric focus.

Beyond Sensing and Communications, Silicon Photonics for Quantum Technologies is also

represented in this year’s conference. Notably this year, amongst the talks selected by the technical

program committees, a good number of papers treat the extension of Group IV Photonics to visible

wavelengths with help of Silicon Nitride waveguides, coherent light generation with (Si)GeSn

materials, novel passive devices with subwavelength structures, as well as the direct growth of III-

V compound semiconductors onto Silicon substrates.

GFP remains a focused, single track conference giving researchers the opportunity to get a

comprehensive update of the latest developments in the field in a structured manner without having

to “cut corners”. We hope it will give you the opportunity to get new insights, reconnect with

previous colleagues and make bonds with new research partners in a friendly and stimulating

environment.

Bis bald in Berlin!

Silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulator, G. Cong, M. Ohno, Y. Maegami, M. Okano, and K. Yamada, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST),Tsukuba, Japan

We propose an adaptive distributed-bias driving method for silicon travelling-wave Mach-Zehndermodulators and achieved ~25% modulation efficiency enhancement at both 10 and 25 Gb/s with<3.5 Vpp, without optimizing horizontal PN-diodes. This method also suggests a new modulatorscheme allowing efficiency improvement and design flexibilities.

Z. Wang, D. J. Paez, L. Dow, and A. P. Knights, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON,Canada
