Summary
On-chip generation and processing of high-power multi-GHz frequency combs. The project aims to deliver a chip-scale stable optical frequency comb technology with high-power and multi-GHz frequency spacing. The lack of this technology has prevented fundamental advances in wide-ranging applications that require high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) combs. The project seeks to demonstrate combs using waveguide laser technology and to integrate it with a reconfigurable optical filter to select and proces ....On-chip generation and processing of high-power multi-GHz frequency combs. The project aims to deliver a chip-scale stable optical frequency comb technology with high-power and multi-GHz frequency spacing. The lack of this technology has prevented fundamental advances in wide-ranging applications that require high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) combs. The project seeks to demonstrate combs using waveguide laser technology and to integrate it with a reconfigurable optical filter to select and process individual comb lines. Key advantages of this technology, including high SNR, reconfigurability, high stability, small footprint and low-cost, are expected to improve astronomy’s ability to detect Earth-like planets, telecommunications to increase the overall internet capacity, and global positioning systems (GPS).Read moreRead less
Breaking the glass ceiling: silicon-nitride (SiN) and doped silica glass for ultra high speed Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatible optical processing and measurement chips. The global internet demands for energy and technology will soon be unsustainable. This project will pioneer faster, cheaper, far smaller, and more energy efficient optical signal processing and measurement chips compatible with silicon CMOS technology, for applications in telecommunications, silicon integ ....Breaking the glass ceiling: silicon-nitride (SiN) and doped silica glass for ultra high speed Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatible optical processing and measurement chips.
