Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology holds great potentials for breaking through the bottlenecks of current photonic and optoelectronic networks. Among all the candidate materials for PICs, lithium niobate (LN) is recognized as a Decathlon Winner owing to its excellent properties, e.g., wide transparent bandwidth, high electro-optic coefficient and second-order nonlinear optical coefficient, and so on, offering exciting opportunities for advance PICs. Recently, a revolution has been witnessed in the field of LN photonics. Various LN photonic devices have been demonstrated with unprecedented performances. The breakthroughs have reshaped the landscape of LN photonics research and industry. This symposium will cover the fundamental principles and the fabrication technology for LN photonic structures, and aim to explore the practical applications in large-scale photonic integration technology. The symposium seeks to provide a general overview of recent advances and insights into the latest trends and strategies actionable to deal with the practical challenges faced by the community. The symposium intends to stimulate an open discussion among experts of this fascinating research area in a relaxing environment.
