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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
