Connecting Quantum Electronics and Photonics using Silicon Color Centers

Ongoing
Overview: In the first decades of the semiconductor electronics industry, color centers were ubiquitous in silicon. However, through iterative refinement of materials’ processing and spectroscopy methods, color centers are virtually non-existent in commercial silicon today, and leveraging their

Designing the Nanoworld: Nanostructure, Nanodevices, and Nano-optics

Ongoing
Developing and exploiting nanodevices for quantum and nanotechnologies requires nanoscale and atomic scale modeling of ultrasmall structures, devices, their operation, and their response to probes. Key challenges of understanding physics at the quantum/classical interface and measurement at the

Frequency Conversion Interfaces for Photonic Quantum Systems

Ongoing
Our research on quantum frequency conversion follows two main tracks. First, we combine relatively mature frequency conversion technology based on periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguides with quantum light generated by single semiconductor quantum dots in proof-of-principle experiments that

Integrated Photonics

Ongoing
The Integrated Photonics Project utilizes heterogeneous materials integration to demonstrate novel optoelectronic devices such as semiconductor lasers, wavelength converters, and polarization rotators with compact form. We use materials including silicon, silicon dioxide, tantalum pentoxide, and

Multi-color solitons and frequency combs in microresonators

Author(s)
Curtis Menyuk, Pradyoth Shandilya, Logan Courtright, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan
Multi-color solitons that are parametrically created in dual-pumped microresonators generate interleaved frequency combs that be used to obtain combs at new

On-Chip Parametric Synchronization of a Cavity Soliton Microcomb

Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Pradyoth Shandilya, Miro Erkintalo, Curtis Menyuk, Kartik Srinivasan
Synchronization of oscillators is ubiquitous in nature. Often, the synchronized oscillators couple directly, yet in some cases synchronization can arise from
