Stanford inventors have developed a framework that performs digitally verifiable photonic matrix-vector multiplication in integrated photonic networks, which may potentially enable energy-efficient hash functions and cryptocurrency mining.
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 Fan Group have developed an optical device that can fine tune the color of each photon in a stream of light. Existing methods simply reroute photons of a particular frequency, but do not actually change the photons frequencies.
Researchers at Stanford are advancing a new class of nonlinear optical devices that operate with significantly lower energy requirements than previous platforms.
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
Machine learning models currently require extensive computational resources and this demand is growing rapidly with new models and applications being introduced.
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).
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 have developed a method to make non-ideal beam-splitters operate as perfect beam-splitters, using a double Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
