The Research Center of Silicon-based Photonics focuses on areas including multiple motional parameter sensors based on micro/nanogratings and on-chip hybrid integrated photonic devices based on micro/nanowres, etc.. And the center has already done severial works such as noval diaplacement sensing based on self-imaging effect of optical gratings, high-efficiency opical nonlinear conversion based on single optical nanowire, inertial measurement based on noval MOEMS structures, which may be used in applications including semiconductor manufacturing, precision machining and optical communicating.

The center currently associates of 4 professors, 3 associate professors and ～20 students. The center has been sponsored by several funds including the National Key Research Project, the National Natural Science Fund of China, the National Defence Fund for Innovative Field, the Advanced Research Project, the Domanial Fund, etc.. And the center has published more than 30 high-level apapers in well-known journals including Nano Letters, Crystal Design&Growth, Optics Express, and applied for more than 30 invention patents of China.
