Researchers at Stanford have developed force sensors that can operate on very small physical scales without the need for an external connection or power supply.
Researchers in the Dionne group at Stanford have designed a nanoscale laser capable of self-isolated Raman Lasing, where lasing and isolation occurs within the same pumping mechanism.
The Dionne lab has developed ultrathin and compact devices for electrically driven beamsteering that fit on a semiconductor chip. These devices rely on resonant dielectric nanostructured surfaces known as "high quality factor" (high-Q) metasurfaces.
This nanoparticle platform for electric field detection is the first inorganic platform to use both intensity and spectro-ratiometric (relative color change) readout for the determination of local electric fields in vitro, in vivo, and in situ.
Stanford researchers have designed a powerful plasmonic coaxial aperture as a low-power optical trap for nanosized specimens, a regime that is inaccessible with the other designs.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
