Description: Topic: Photonics at MIT Lincoln Laboratory: From Physics to Fielded Systems
Location: DION Building, Room 114
Abstract:
Lincoln Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) managed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the Department of Defense. Since its establishment in 1951, the Laboratory has performed research and development in support of national security. Much of the work comprises analysis and prototyping of complex systems (e.g., radar, communications, signal collection, imaging, cyber security) that is augmented by the internal development of advanced electronic and photonic materials, devices and integrated subsystems. In this talk, we'll provide an overview of Lincoln Laboratory, focusing on some of the photonic systems that have been fielded and the components that have enabled these system demonstrations. We'll also describe the Laboratory's resources and activities to develop photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and their application to microwave systems, inertial sensing, lidar, optical atomic clocks, and quantum computing.
Biography:
Dr. Paul Juodawlkis is Assistant Leader of the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory where he is working to develop photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology for application to quantum information systems, optical communications, laser radar, inertial navigation, and microwave sensing. Over the past decade, he led the team that developed the semiconductor slab-coupled optical waveguide amplifier (SCOWA) and used it to realize Watt-class power amplifiers, mode-locked lasers, and low-noise single-frequency lasers having record performance. In earlier work, he made key contributions to the development of optical sampling techniques for microwave frequency translation and photonic analog-to-digital conversion. Dr. Juodawlkis has authored or coauthored over 150 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, and has participated on a number of technical program committees, including serving as Program Co-Chair (2010) and General Co-Chair (2012) of the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO). He was an elected member of the IEEE Photonics Society Board of Governors (2011-2013), served as Vice President of Membership for the Society (2014-2016), and is presently Secretary-Treasurer for the Society. Dr. Juodawlkis is a Fellow of both the IEEE and the Optical Society (OSA). He holds a BS degree from Michigan Technological University, a MS degree from Purdue University, and a PhD degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology, all in electrical engineering.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.
