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.
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.
Engineers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have developed an efficient, scalable, in-situ method to train, configure and tune complex photonic circuits for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Stanford researchers at the Vuckovic Lab have created a computational nanophotonic design library for gradient-based optimization called the Stanford Photonic INverse design Software (Spins).
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.
