Events for the College of Optics & Photonics
Dissertation Title: “ The physics of nanoaperture optical trapping: design, fabrication and experimentation ” Abstract: The last 20 years have seen an explosion in the use of nanotechnology in almost every research and industrial setting. This development has required the invention of new and revolutionary characterization tools including but not limited to zero-mode waveguides, interferometric scattering, fluorescence resonance energy …
CREOL CalendarDissertation Title: “ High Speed Modulation Characteristics of Semiconductor Nanolasers and Coupled Ring Laser Systems ” Abstract: Optical communication systems require light sources that can be modulated at very high frequency. However, the modulation bandwidth of laser diodes is typically limited by an intrinsic value, its relaxation resonance frequency. In order to circumvent this limitation, a number of methods …
CREOL CalendarAbstract: Classical and quantum photonics with superior properties can be implemented in a variety of old (silicon, silicon nitride) and new (silicon carbide, diamond) photonic materials by combining state of the art optimization and machine learning techniques (photonics inverse design) with new fabrication approaches. In addition to making photonics more robust to errors in fabrication and temperature, more compact, and more …
