Stanford researchers have created a system that enables efficient fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures via triplet-triplet-annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC).
Stanford Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab researchers developed a passive, magnet free, integrated on-chip laser stabilization and isolation device. Lasers need a way to prevent the light they emit from reflecting into the laser and destabilizing it.
Stanford researchers have developed a high efficiency OLED device by nanopatterning the electrode layer to create a high impedance metasurface (HIM) that reduces 'plasmonic' losses. A typical metal cathode traps a large portion of generated light in an OLED.
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.
Machine learning models currently require extensive computational resources and this demand is growing rapidly with new models and applications being introduced.
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 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.
Stanford Researchers have patented a method and apparatus for detecting ionizing radiation, that, if successful, would achieve a coincidence time resolution 100x better than current positron emission tomography (PET) detectors.
Stanford researchers have developed a method to make non-ideal beam-splitters operate as perfect beam-splitters, using a double Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
Stanford researchers developed a device that converts microwave signals (quantum logic) to optical signals using a silicon-on-lithium-niobate photonic crystal cavity.
