Optica has announced the appointment of 121 new Fellows from 27 countries for its 2025 class. This prestigious title recognizes major contributions in the fields of optics and photonics, whether in research, engineering, education, or industry. Delphine Marris-Morini is honored for her significant contributions to silicon photonics, from the near-infrared to the mid-infrared range.
Delphine Marris-Morini is a Professor at Paris Saclay University since 2015. Her research interests at the Center for Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies covered first high speed and efficient silicon photonics devices for telecom applications. Since 2009 she developed a new route towards efficient on-chip optical links based on Ge/SiGe quantum wells structures. She then shifted her research activity towards mid-IR range based on SiGe photonics circuits that she developed during an ERC starting grant (2015-2020). Recently she obtained an ERC advanced grant (2023-2028) on electro-optic frequency comb generation in the mid-IR wavelength range. She received the bronze medal from CNRS in 2013 and the Fabry De Gramont prize in 2017.
