In this presentation, we will discuss recent advances in the massively parallel manipulation of electromagnetic waves on chip-scale photonic systems using nonlinear photonic devices, computational optimization, and photonic-electronic systems. These advances enable applications including, but not limited to, data communications at two terabits per second. Furthermore, we will explore nonlinear photonics, including our experimental insights into second- and third-order nonlinear photonic processes, classical and non-classical parametric oscillations, and optical gain elements. This presentation will also introduce computational optimization techniques for designing photonic devices with desired functionalities.
