OPTOELECTRONICS AND PHOTONICS

ACADEMIC HISTORY

Vittorio M.N. Passaro

was born in Bari, Italy, on November 1962. He received his Laurea degree in

Electronic Engineering (cum laude) from University of Bari, Italy, in 1988 and his Ph.D. degree in Electronic

Engineering, curriculum Optoelectronics, from Politecnico di Bari, Italy, in 1992. From May 1991 to

September 2000 he was researcher of Electronics at Politecnico di Bari. Since October 2000, he joined

Politecnico di Bari as an Associate Professor of Electronic Technologies and Photonics. Since February 2014

he received the national qualification for full professorship in “Electronics”.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Since 1988 (i.e., more than 20 years of professional experience), his research interests have been focused on

several theoretical and experimental aspects of Optoelectronic and Photonic Technologies and Integrated

Optics. He has published original contributions in modeling, design and simulation of integrated optical

devices and circuits for optical signal processing, telecommunications and sensing applications, by

considering a number of materials and technologies, including ferroelectric, semiconductors (silicon and

compounds and III-V alloy compounds) and ferromagnetic garnets. He has developed some numerical

techniques, such as Floquet-Bloch theory for modelling of guided-wave diffraction gratings in photonic

components. He has been also involved in dry etching mechanisms and proton exchange technologies, in

particular on the understanding of the physical-chemical mechanisms occurring during the formation of

lithium niobate optical waveguides, as well as the relationships with their optical properties. Currently, he is

mainly involved in Group IV Photonics (silicon-on-insulator, silicon compounds), with specific contributions

in modelling of Raman effect in SOI waveguides, linear and non linear silicon optical integrated sensors for

chemical (liquid, gas) and physical (electric field, angular velocity) applications, SOI modulators, slot SOI

waveguides optimized for sensing, grating-assisted directional couplers between fibres and thin silicon

waveguides, ring resonators and other resonant optical microcavities.

Since 2004 he has formed and leads the Photonics Research Group, based in Department of Electrical and

Information Engineering, Politecnico di Bari, Italy (URL:

http://dee.poliba.it/photonicsgroup

). The group

has established collaborations with several international research groups, including University of Surrey,

University of Southampton, University of Glasgow, Russian Academy of Sciences, University of Trento, Universidad

de Valencia, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Mcquarie University, Delft University of Technology

. He is author

or co-author of more than 300 papers published in high impact international journals (one by Nature

Photonics), including a number of IEEE and OSA journals, and conference proceedings. He is the holder of

two international patents and the Editor of three scientific books (one by Springer). He has been invited

several times to give talks in Universities and Research Centres, as well as to publish his research activities.

His works have been largely cited in the specialized literature, see from Google Scholar h-index 22 and

i10-index

49,

http://scholar.google.it/citations?user=C0WU2WwAAAAJ&hl=it

.

As for teaching activities, he has a very long experience in a number of academic courses, including Digital

Electronics, Applied Electronics, Electronic Technologies, Photonics, as well as a support in other courses,

such as Optoelectronics and Electron Devices. He is a supervisor for a very large number of final thesis for

graduating students, as well as Ph.D. thesis, both internal (Politecnico) and abroad.

SIGNIFICANT PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE

The most significant aspects of Prof. Passaro’s research activity are related with development of modelling

numerical techniques for design of complex optical signal processors, guided-wave devices for

telecommunications systems, integrated optical sensors and non linear photonic devices, as well as

experiments in lithium niobate proton exchange (PE) technology. Specific contributions include applications

(2)

of Floquet-Bloch theory to grating-assisted directional couplers, modelling and design of resonant

microcavities, original design of integrated optical circuits for data classification and identification in remote

sensing, design of very efficient fibres-SOI thin waveguides couplers, optimal design of slot waveguides for

homogeneous sensing, design of guided-wave optical sensors for angular velocity measurements, and

biochemical and biomedical applications, as well as modelling and design of Raman-based photonic devices

(light generation and amplification, logic gates) and Four Wave Mixing (wavelength conversion) in

Silicon-on-Insulator technology. From an experimental point of view, his activity has been focused on PE technology,

with specific contributions to relate structural and optical properties of PE waveguides made by a mixture of

proton sources, as well as optoelectronic and photonic devices based on silicon-on-insulator technology.

Finally, other research activities involve fiber optic technology for high performance strain sensing based on

fiber Bragg grating-assisted ring resonators.
