Photonics, Nonlinear Optical Polymer Materials, Optical Waveguide Devices, Optical Sensors, and Nanometer-scale Photonic Structures

Dr. Chen's expertise is in photonics-the science and technology of the application of light, which incorporates optics, laser technology, electrical engineering, materials science, and information storage and processing.

Dr. Chen worked previously for Lucent Bell Labs Optoelectronics Center on the DARPA MONET program making lithium niobate polarization independent, strictly non-blocking optical switches. The work won the 1999 Bell Labs President Gold Award. His design and development of a lithium niobate modulator and polarization controller was honored by Photonics Spectra the Photonics Circle of Excellence Award.

Dr. Chen joined the Applied Physics Laboratory in early 2004; he supervises the research of several graduate students in his lab and is an Affiliate Associate Professor in the UW's Department of Electronic Engineering.
