Nanophotonic projection system

Nanophotonic projection system.

Low-power integrated projection technology can play a key role in development of low-cost mobile devices with built-in high-resolution projectors. Low-cost 3D imaging and holography systems are also among applications of such a technology. In this paper, an integrated projection system based on a two-dimensional optical phased array with fast beam steering capability is reported. Forward biased...

Implementing System-in-Package with Nanophotonic Interconnect

There has been significant interest in nanophotonics for global on-chip communication and for inter-socket communication between processors and/or main memory. Our goal in this short paper is to motivate future research on nanophotonic systemin-package (NSiP): an integration strategy that uses CMOScompatible nanophotonic devices to implement an efficient package-level network for high-performan...

Novel nonlinear nanophotonic phenomena

Nanophotonic coherent imager.

An integrated silicon nanophotonic coherent imager (NCI), with a 4 × 4 array of coherent pixels is reported. In the proposed NCI, on-chip optical processing determines the intensity and depth of each point on the imaged object based on the instantaneous phase and amplitude of the optical wave incident on each pixel. The NCI operates based on a modified time-domain frequency modulated continuous...

System Simulation of a GLV Projection System

In this paper, we present a system-level simulation and analysis of a diffractive optical MEM Grating Light Valve. The simulations are performed in a system-level multi-domain CAD framework developed at the University of Pittsburgh. Including the electrical, mechanical, and optical domains, this framework allows the user to design micro-optical systems by examining performance measures of the e...
