  2. Quantum Photonics Faculty Candidate Seminar - C.K. Shih

    Active nanophotonics: from coherent control of quantum emitters to plasmonic nanolasers Light-matter interaction at nanometer scale is emerging as one of the most exciting fields in nanoscience. In combination with the advanced materials synthesis technique to tailor novel low-dimensional electronic systems, new doors are open toward design and realization of nanophotonic devices with novel functionalities. Here I will present two areas that have been pursued in my research group. The first...

  3. Ana Kanevce Seminar

    Ana Kanevce National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO Insight into time-resolved photoluminescence measurements on thin-film solar cells using numerical simulations Increased efficiency in thin-film solar cells requires higher degree of understanding of the recombination mechanisms, and separating the various types of recombination involved.  Time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurement is a contactless and quick measurement method, and therefore one of the key metrics...

  5. Mikael Rechtsman Seminar

    Mikael Rechtsman Quantum Photonics Faculty Candidate Seminar Photonic topological insulators and pseudomagnetism I will present two examples in which ‘fictitious fields’ lead to surprising photonic effects that would be difficult (if not impossible) to achieve with real fields. Firstly, I will present the first observation of the topological protection of light - a ‘Photonic Floquet Topological Insulator’ [1]. The structure is an array of coupled helical waveguides...

  6. Brian Norton - Solar Seminar Series

The capabilities of such tools are expanding rapidly for representing mechanisms important to both ‘design with’ and ‘design of’...

  8. Hui Cao Seminar

    Disordered Photonics Most of the research in the field of photonics has focused on understanding and mitigating the effects of disorder which are often detrimental. For certain applications, however, intentionally introducing disorder can actually improve the device performance, e.g., in photovoltaics optical scattering improves the efficiency of light harvesting. We have utilized multiple scattering in a random photonic structure to build a compact on-chip spectrometer. The probe signal...

  9. Abram Falk - Quantum Photonics Faculty Candidate Seminar

    Abram Falk Postdoctoral Fellow Institute for Molecular Engineering at Univeristy of Chicago   Engineered defects in wide band-gap semiconductors for single-spin sensing and computation While generally considered undesirable in traditional electronic devices, semiconductor defects can confine isolated electronic spins and act as nanoscale, single-spin memory registers. Alongside research efforts focusing on nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, an alternative approach seeks to...

  10. Needs Seminar - Dr. Shaloo Rakheja, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    Abstract - With its rich physical properties, the novel 2-D carbon-based material graphene is expected to play an important role in the advancement of semiconductor technologies. In a recent poll conducted by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), graphene is named as the material most likely to have the greatest impact on geometric scaling. As a two-dimensional material, graphene has a limited phase space for scattering of electrons; hence, the electrons in graphene...

  11. Chinmay Belthangady

    Quantum Assisted Magnetometry with NV centers in Diamond Nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers are point defects that occur naturally in diamond. They can also be created artificially via standard semiconductor fabrication techniques. Associated with this defect are spin states that can be initialized & read-out optically, and driven coherently with resonant microwaves. The coherence time of NV spins tends to be quite long even at room temperature. For these reasons, NVs are ideally...

  12. Sunil Bhave Seminar

    Optomechanical systems offer one of the most sensitive methods for detecting mechanical motion using shifts in the optical resonance frequency of the optomechanical resonator. Presently, these systems are used for measuring mechanical thermal noise displacement or mechanical motion actuated by optical forces. Meanwhile, electrostatic capacitive actuation and detection is the main transduction scheme used in RF MEMS resonators. The use of electrostatics is convenient as it allows direct...
