Cost: Free
Description: Topic: Silicon Photonics for Lidar, Augmented Reality, and Beyond
Speaker: Dr. Jelena Notaros, Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Location: Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 222
Abstract:
By enabling the integration of millions of micro-scale optical components on compact millimeter-scale computer chips, silicon photonics is positioned to enable next-generation optical technologies that facilitate revolutionary advances for numerous fields spanning science and engineering. In this talk, I will highlight our work on developing novel silicon-photonics-based platforms, devices, and systems that enable innovative solutions to high-impact problems in areas including augmented-reality displays, LiDAR sensing for autonomous vehicles, free-space optical communications, optical trapping for biophotonics, 3D printing, and trapped-ion quantum engineering.
