Photonic Integrated Circuits from Hybrid Metamaterial Thin Films
Project Description
The goal of this project is to investigate the design, process and integration of complex hybrid metamaterials thin films for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Specifically, our work focuses on the understanding of electro-optical and magneto-optical coupling effects in complex nanoscale hybrid metamaterials with a two-phase hybrid thin-film platform. This approach focuses on novel coupling mechanisms between charges, spins, and photons. The technological goal is to demonstrate several key building blocks for future large-scale PICs, including highly-efficient and integrated optical switches, nonreciprocal devices, and magneto-optic sensors for PICs, as a proof of concept for this new hetero-integration paradigm.

Demonstrated ability to utilize photonic modeling software in research, specifically including finite-difference time domain, beam propagation method, and S-matrix methods. Demonstrated ability to fabricate novel nanomaterials and devices, with preference for experience with pulsed-laser deposition, sputtering, and related methods. Demonstrated ability to characterize novel nanomaterials and devices, particularly with respect to their optical dispersion (e.g., with variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry). |
