Stanford scientists have designed a passive and active polarization-insensitive grating coupler that enables consistent fiber-to-chip light coupling regardless of input polarization state.
Stanford researchers have developed flat, ultrathin (sub 100nm) optical elements based on high index nanostructures which can be alternatives to refractive optical elements such as gratings, lenses, and axicons.
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.
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 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.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a simpler and low-cost micro-cavity design for color tuning of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) for display applications. A micro-cavity is an essential part of OLED display for high color purity.
Stanford researchers in the Fan Lab have developed a photonic device optimizer that generates designs with hard geometric constraints to guarantee device fabricability.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a non-destructive method for generating and patterning optical color centers with nanoscale resolution without the need for high energy radiation. Color centers, which are optically active defects within the lattice structur
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.
