Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Researchers in Profs. Jonathan Fan and Jim Plummer's laboratory have patented a generalized, CMOS-compatible process to fabricate single crystal metal components on amorphous insulator substrates.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a structure for a Low-Threshold Germanium laser that is easily integrable into electronic and photonic circuits, and competitive with current state-of-the-art III-V lasers.
