| Abstract |
This talk will describe several examples of nonlinear optical processes in both InP- and silicon- (SOI) based photonic crystal microcavities. Examples include cavity-enhanced second harmonic generation in InP microcavities using sub-milliwatt CW excitation, free-carrier-induced cavity switching (both centre frequency and Q
factor) in silicon microcavities, and coupling of 1.5 micron radiation from site-selectively attached PbSe nanocrystals into silicon microcavities.

| Biography |
Professor Young is Head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia. He obtained his PhD from the University of Toronto in 1983. His research interests are in optical properties of semiconductors, non-equilibrium processes in semiconductors, photonic and optical devices, nonlinear optics, nanophotonics. He published over 100 manuscripts and book chapters and holds 3 patents. Professor Young received the 2002 BC Science Council “Frontiers in Research” Award and the 1994 Herzberg Medal from the Canadian Association of Physicists.
