Description

Purpose
The purpose of this grant is to study, develop and experimentally demonstrate integrated photonic structures for versatile and high-performance coupling of light between free space and photonic integrated circuits.
Activities
Project activities will include analytical and numerical modeling and optimization of photonic structures for free-space coupling, and their design, microfabrication and experimental characterization. Microfabrication may be done at the NIST nanofab and at external foundries. Devices will be provided to NIST and external collaborators for implementing specific applications. Publications in open scientific literature describing novel device designs, optimization methods, and experimental characterization results and applications of photonic to free space coupler devices.
Intended beneficiaries
Photonics research community will benefit from the new knowledge developed in this research project. NIST and external US company collaborators may benefit from high performance devices enabling their applications. General public will benefit from scientific knowledge and technological advances leading to photonic devices with improved performance, reduced cost and new capabilities resulting from this research.
Subrecipient activities
