About

Zuyuan He is a leading researcher in polymer photonics, with a focus on developing advanced optical interconnects and mode-division multiplexing technologies for next-generation data communication. His work centers on the design and fabrication of compact, scalable photonic devices using direct inscription methods, enabling precise three-dimensional light manipulation. He’s best known for pioneering a 3D polymer directional coupler operating at 1550 nm, which allows free-position light coupling and splitting in three dimensions—a key innovation for on-board optical interconnects. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 23 citations and demonstrates the potential for cascaded, scalable architectures. He also made significant contributions to broadband mode (de)multiplexing, designing a tapered mode-selective coupler fabricated via a needle-type liquid micro-dispenser and robotic stage. This approach, using UV-curable resins, simplifies production while maintaining high performance, earning 6 citations. He’s recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical design and practical, low-cost fabrication, making his work highly relevant for researchers in integrated optics and telecommunications. His achievements highlight a commitment to advancing polymer-based photonic circuits for high-bandwidth, energy-efficient systems.
