Shannon Lee, an ECE undergraduate student and recipient of an Edison Scholarship, presented her poster for a campus wide research colloquium. During the summer, Shannon worked closely with iPL Ph.D. students to develop integrated photonic technologies for remote sensing of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Victoria Rosborough received the Best Student Paper Award 2nd Prize at the Optical Society of America (OSA) Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon and Nanophotonics (IPR) Conference for her paper titled “Monolithic Integration of Widely-Tunable DBR and DFB Lasers with One-Step Grating Formation.”
IPL Ph.D. student Hongwei Zhao was selected to participate in Rising Stars 2019, an academic career workshop for women in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science (EECS) hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1. Launched at MIT in 2012, the annual event has since been hosted at the University of California…
Prof. Klamkin has received the PIERS 2019 Young Scientist Award (YSA). He was presented with this award at the Photonics and Electromagnetics Reasearch Symposium (PIERS) in Rome, Italy, on July 19, 2019.
Prof. Klamkin has received the DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA). The objective of the DARPA YFA program is to identify and engage rising research stars at U.S. academic institutions and introduce them to Department of Defense needs as well as DARPA’s program development process. The YFA program provides funding, mentoring and industry and DoD contacts…
We are pursuing a unique selective area growth technique in 3D confined nano-structured templates called TASE (template assisted selective epitaxy) using our in-house metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system. Fabrication of channel-like nanometer-scale horizontal structures allows for the selective deposition and lateral growth of group III-V semiconductor materials . Under a project led by Prof.…
Indium phosphide (InP) tunable transceivers enabled many applications in the telecommunication industry. Recently, advances in silicon photonics (SiPh) have led to high density photonicsintegrated circuits (PICs) including optical phased arrays (OPA) for 2D beamsteering applications. Our group has been developing an InP PIC transceiver for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR. The PIC transceiver consists…
Monolithic integration of optical devices greatly reduces the cost, size, weight and power consumption (SWaP) of photonic systems. For space applications, this can enable deployment on smaller platforms and more frequent missions. This project aims to measure atmospheric constituents such as carbon dioxide (CO2) using a Lidar photonic integrated circuit s (PIC)s that are closely…
