Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
The Murmann lab has developed a method for an extraction information from acoustic signals that utilizes low power consumption. N-path filters are used to decompose the original acoustic signals' waveform before downconverting to lower their Nyquist-rate bandwidth.
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.
Researchers in the Arbabian Lab have developed a system that uses a combination of radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic and ultrasound (US) waves to detect, localize, and identify multiple battery-free tags.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Research Group have patented a body area sensor network (bodyNET) that can be used to monitor human physiological signals for next-generation personalized healthcare.
Stanford researchers have developed a compact, low-cost complete sensor solution (sensor plus reader) which can interpret fully-passive sensors through a simple handheld external reader. The readout mechanism can take measurements independent of the readout distance (i.e.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Research Group have developed a second-generation stretchable multi-sensor tag technology for detecting physiological signals.
Engineers in the Zhenan Bao Research Group have developed a highly versatile electronics platform with individual modular building blocks that can be easily configured and reconfigured for a variety of applications.
Researchers in Prof. Amin Arbabian's laboratory have developed a modular RF-Ultrasound architecture to download data, upload data or wirelessly charge devices implanted deep in the body.
Stanford researchers at the Khuri-Yakub Lab have developed a new sensor topology that will enable high-resolution touch sensing and reliable authentication on portable electronics.
