Image sensors are used across the board in high-resolution image sensing technologies, and critically rely on their ability to separate colors of light.
Stanford researchers developed a method to make large phase shifts with little or no power dissipation in integrated optics. The approach uses a directional coupler moved by a MEMS actuator to achieve a path delay, i.e. an effective change in refractive index.
Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a cost-effective method for using low temperature microwave annealing to create diode termination contacts on silicon sensors.
Stanford researchers at the Cui Lab have designed a self-aligned hybrid metal-dielectric surface that offers unparalleled performance in applications where both a transparent contact and a photon management texture are needed.
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.
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.
