Nanophotonics

Focus

The Nanophotonics Thrust is concerned with using nanoscale control of materials and components for switching, guiding, and generating light for the next generation of telecommunication devices and systems. The research focus encompasses both critical system aspects of the optical layer of the telecommunication infrastructure and applications in information transmission and processing systems that operate over shorter distances (e.g., within a computer architecture) than has heretofore been associated with fiber communications. There are three areas of technology focus: 1) Lead-salt quantum dots, 2) Photonic crystal fibers, and 3) Silicon nanophotonics.
