Researchers at Stanford are developing a device that uses quantum engineered states and interactions to detect electromagnetic waves with a sensitivity and bandwidth beyond that possible with existing technology.
Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a tunable metasurface with high reflectance and large phase modulation for use as optical phase modulators or beam steering device (Lidar). Currently, the large size of beam steering devices is a critical problem.
Stanford researchers designed and built a light sheet microscope that can be used for deconvolution-free, high resolution volumetric imaging of cleared tissue specimens.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods for evaluating the position of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device in terms of phase and/or amplitude characteristics.
Stanford researchers have developed a scanning mirror and method for Rhodonea (Rose) scanning patterns, which are superior to Lissajous patterns for almost all imaging and ranging applications.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple optical device for low-power, active light tuning. The device tunes the color of light across the visible spectrum and at select wavelengths by electrical biasing an array of micron sized pixels or nanowires.
