This $380,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under CFDA Program 47.041 (Engineering) will fund the development of new types of on-chip "topological photodetectors" that can detect and differentiate between different modes and properties of light, such as its phase, polarization, and orbital angular momentum. These novel photodetectors, based on emerging quantum materials like Weyl semimetals,...
This $450,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Carnegie Mellon University. The grant supports research to develop a new paradigm for single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors that can detect light near the quantum limit at room temperature. The key objectives are to: 1) establish a scientific framework for "avalanche confinement" to improve SPAD signal-to-noise ratio, 2) integrate confined silicon SPADs...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $433,921 to Syracuse University to develop high-temperature single-photon detectors using iron-chalcogenide superconductors. The project aims to advance single-photon detection technology by creating superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) that can operate at temperatures above liquid helium, significantly reducing the footprint and enhancing the...
The Portland State University was awarded a $199,244 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems Engineering program to develop bandwidth-efficient photon data capture and processing techniques for single-photon avalanche diode cameras. The goal is to enable megapixel and higher resolution SPAD cameras by addressing the data bandwidth challenge through hardware and algorithmic reconfigurability of the SPAD pixel array. The...
This $196,201 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems will support research into single photon emission in lanthanide-doped two-dimensional materials and devices. The University of Texas at Dallas, in partnership with the University of Texas System, will evaluate the impact of incorporating rare-earth elements like cerium and erbium into two-dimensional semiconductors and explore tuning their properties for controllable light...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $330,000 to Northeastern University aims to develop high-temperature, highly efficient near-to-mid-infrared nanowire single-photon detectors through the integration of superconducting, optical, and thermal metamaterials. The research project seeks to increase the operational temperature of these detectors beyond the sub-Kelvin constraints of current superconducting nanowire technology, enabling broader...
