About

Juerg Leuthold is a leading figure in photonics and communications, whose work bridges fundamental physics and transformative technologies. His research spans optical communications, plasmonics, and high-speed photonic devices, with a particular focus on pushing the limits of data transmission and signal processing. Leuthold is renowned for pioneering contributions to silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration, enabling ultra-fast electro-optic modulators that have set records for data rates exceeding 100 Gbit/s. His impact is reflected in over 15,000 citations, with seminal papers on plasmonic modulators and all-optical switching shaping the field. Notably, his work on wireless control of forces and torques via coupled LC resonators—though less cited—showcases his inventive approach to interdisciplinary challenges, from robotics to medicine. Leuthold has also been instrumental in advancing terabit-per-second transmission systems and received multiple awards, including an ERC Advanced Grant. His research continues to inspire new generations of engineers and scientists, driving the future of high-speed, energy-efficient photonic networks.
