Hong X. Tang is a Chinese-American physicist and engineer working on integrated photonics and related technologies. He is the Llewellyn West Jones, Jr. Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and of Physics at Yale University[1]. His contributions span nonlinear and quantum optics, nano-electromechanical systems, optomechanics, superconducting detectors and devices, and transducers. A significant body of Tang's work has focused on hybrid systems that merge the beneficial characteristics of photons at optical frequencies and phonons and superconducting devices working at microwave frequencies. For this, his group uses, among other approaches, piezo-optomechanical structures and acoustic devices[2] for microwave-to-optical frequency conversion and transduction. Tang is also known for his contributions to high-efficiency and high-speed on-chip single photon detection at near-infrared wavelengths based on superconducting nanowire technology[3][4].
