Tomohiro Amemiya received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2004 and 2006. He is now a Ph.D. student in Integrated Photonics Laboratory at Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), the University of Tokyo. His research interests are in the physics of semiconductor light-controlling devices, optical spin-related devices, and photonic integrated circuits, and in the processing technology to fabricate these devices. His Ph.D. research mainly focuses on semiconductor waveguide optical isolators that can be monolithically combined with other optical devices in photonic integrated circuits.
Tomohiro Amemiya is a student member of the IEEE/LEOS, the Optical Society of America (OSA), and the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP).

Christophe Antoine received the Diplôme d'Ingénieur from the École Supérieure d'Électricité (Supélec), Gif-sur-Yvette, France, and the M.S. and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA. During his graduate work at Stanford, he worked with Prof. Olav Solgaard on micromachined deformable optical gratings. His research interests include the design, fabrication, and characterization of diffractive optical microsystems using MEMS technology for applications in passive components of optical fiber networks, tunable lasers, and spectroscopy. His academic career was completed by field work at research institutions (CNRS-LGEP, Gif-sur-Yvette, France and CSIC-IMM, Tres Cantos, Spain) and at major consumer electronics companies (Philips, Aachen, Germany and Sony, Tokyo, Japan).

Chen-Bin Huang was born in Taipei, Taiwan, in August, 1975. He received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Tsing-Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1997, and a M.S. degree in Electro-Optical Engineering from National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1999. He is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. His current research interests focuses on applications of spectral line-by-line pulse shaping and characterizations of optical frequency combs.
From 1999 to 2003, he joined the Opto-Electronics & Systems Laboratories (OES), Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan as a research engineer, developing passive optical fiber devices. In summer 2002, he was a visiting scientist at the Materials Research Institute, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. He has been an author/co-author of 8 journal papers and 16 conference papers. He holds 6 U.S. patents and 13 Taiwan patents.

Yoshiaki Takata received the Bachelor of Engineering degree from University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan,in 2006. He is now a M.E. student at department of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba. Since 2005, he has been a member of the Center of Tsukuba Advanced Research Alliance (TARA), University of Tsukuba. His current research is focused mainly on selective area growth of InAs-QDs towards photonic crystal and quantum dots based all optical integrated circuit devices.
Mr. Takata is a student member of the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP).

Kai Zhao received his B.S and M.S with honor degrees in Applied Physics in 1999 and 2002 from University of Science and Technology of China. In 2002, he started his Ph.D. study in physics department at University of California San Diego, where he works in Prof. Yu-hwa Lo’s research group. His research interests include characterization of semiconductor quantum dots, developing advanced III-V Single Photon Avalanche Detectors. For the III-V SPADs project, he developed the first negative feedback III-V Single Photon Avalanche Detector which has demonstrated the self-quenching self-recovery capability and has achieved ultra low excess noise in Single Photon detection Mode. He is currently a student member of IEEE.
