Biography
Ya Cheng is Professor and Dean of the School of Physics and Electronic Science, East China Normal University, and Professor at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He obtained his BS from Fudan University, Shanghai, in 1993 and PhD from the SIOM in 1998. He developed slit-beam and spatiotemporal shaping techniques of femtosecond laser pulses for improving the spatial resolution in 3D micromachining, as well as photolithography-assisted chemomechanical etching for fabricating dense PICs on LN. Professor Cheng has co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and co-authored/co-edited 5 books. He has given ~150 invited talks at international conferences and served as the chair or committee member of numerous international conferences. He is also a fellow of the Institute of Physics, UK.
"This book covers relevant subjects around lithium niobate (LN) nanophotonics, including fabrication of LN nanostructures, investigation of nonlinear optical effects, and development of a new generation of devices. It also discusses the state of the art of LN nanophotonics and potential applications, providing timely information to graduate students, researchers, and industrial engineers who are interested in creating innovative photonic integrated devices and systems with high performance and functionality."

"Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics provides a comprehensive review of the development of functional nanophotonic structures and photonic integrated circuits on lithium niobate (LN) thin films. The book is well organized, covering both the early steps in LN nanophotonics and the milestone achievements in this area. The author is one of the developers of nanofabrication technology for high-quality LN photonic structures, such as microresonators and waveguides, and numerous technical details are provided for readers. This is not only an essential book for researchers and graduate students currently working with LN thin films but also a suitable read for those looking for photonic integration solutions based on other material platforms."
