The Photonics Research Lab, lead by Thomas E. Murphy at the University of Maryland, conducts research related to integrated optics, nanophotonic devices, nonlinear dynamics, terahertz photonics, nonlinear optics, ultrafast optics, microwave photonics, and optical communication systems. Our central goal is to explore new devices and techniques that improve the speed, sensitivity, resolution, and efficiency of optical communication and sensor systems.
- Congratulations Dr. Trisha Chakraborty
Congratulations to Dr. Trisha Chakraborty, who celebrated successful completion of her PhD degree at the Clark School Commencement. - Trisha Chakraborty Defends PhD Thesis
Congratulations to Trisha Chakraborty, who defended her PhD thesis, entitled “Integrated Polymer Photonics: Thermo-Optic Properties and Low-Loss Fiber-to-Chip Couplers for Cryogenic and Broadband Applications” - Research on Aluminum Nitride Electrooptic Sensing featured in Optica
As described in May in Optica 11, 714-723 (2024), by using a combined microwave resonance and optical resonance, we demonstrated a passive metal-free electrooptic microwave detector that circumvents the need for conducting antennas, electrodes or electrical amplification. The device uses optical resonators made of deposited aluminum nitride thin films, one of very few CMOS-compatible electrooptic… Read more: Research on Aluminum Nitride Electrooptic Sensing featured in Optica - Congratulations to Dr. Evan Dowling!
