Photonic Integrated Circuits<\/h3>\nPhotonic Integrated Circuits<\/h3>\nWhat we do:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Create photonic on-chip technologies, from fundamental investigations through to applications. \u00a0We invent new photonic devices and circuits, and demonstrate new photonic and electronic-photonic circuits and systems on a chip. \u00a0Project may span theoretical mathematical physics, computational physics\/engineering and scientific programming, device design and simulation, chip design and layout, device fabrication (including use of in-house cleanroom facilities or state-of-the-art semiconductor foundries), packaging and proof-of-concept system building, and experimental studies and demonstrations.<\/p>\n
Why it matters:<\/b>\u00a0Photonic integrated circuit technologies are enabling new capabilities in: optical communication for data centers, AI processors, and RF\/wireless networks (including mobile communication, sensing and radar); imaging and lidar; quantum information processing; biomedical and chemical sensing; new paradigms for computing.<\/p>\n Professor (ECE)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Professor (ECE, MSE)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Associate Professor (ECE)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Associate Professor (ECE, BME)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Assistant Professor (ECE)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Photonic Integrated Circuits What we do:\u00a0\u00a0Create photonic on-chip technologies, from fundamental investigations through to applications. \u00a0We invent new photonic devices and circuits, and demonstrate new photonic and electronic-photonic circuits and systems on a chip. \u00a0Project may span theoretical mathematical physics, computational physics\/engineering and scientific programming, device design and simulation, chip design and layout, device fabrication […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21681,"featured_media":0,"parent":153054,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158692"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21681"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158692"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165631,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158692\/revisions\/165631"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/153054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Faculty<\/h3>\n\n\t
