Stanford researchers have patented a silicon germanium (SiGe) electroabsorption modulator that can operate well in excess of 10 Gbps and is entirely compatible with Silicon (Si) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit fabrication.
Researchers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have invented a thermal extraction device that is designed to enhance power emission from thermal radiators up to 10x compared to conventional structures.
Stanford researchers have patented a fabrication process for monolithic integration of different epitaxial materials on the same substrate for improved coupling of optoelectronic devices.
Stanford inventors have developed a deep learning framework that is able to label individual points from 3D Point Clouds that are acquired by various sensors (RGBD sensors, LIDAR sensors, etc.). This framework obtains a point-level fine-grained labeling of 3D Scenes.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.

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.
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 engineers have developed and tested a nanostructured thin film material that upconverts infrared to visible light and combines electrical and non-linear optical properties in the same layer.
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.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have engineered a cytosolic, red genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI) with high signal change at single cell resolution.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical method to separate chiral molecules. Existing enantiomer separation methods remain challenging, costly and inefficient. Using Stanford's method, resonant nanoparticles or particle arrays are placed near a molecular solution.
