New Research Recognized Among Top 24 Global Breakthroughs at OFC Conference
ECE Assistant Professor Yuan Yuan and his research team achieved a global distinction at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2026 for their paper, “Fully Integrated 1064 nm Transmitters With Widely Tunable GaAs Lasers and > 100-GHz Thin-Film LiNbO3 Modulators.” Recognized as one of only 24 Postdeadline Papers worldwide, this work demonstrates the first fully integrated 1064 nm GaAs-on-TFLN transmitter combining widely tunable GaAs lasers with >100 GHz thin-film lithium niobate modulators. The device achieves 100 Gb/s NRZ and 160 Gb/s PAM4 transmission
