New laser “comb” can enable rapid identification of chemicals with extreme precision
The ultrabroadband infrared frequency comb could be used for chemical detection in portable spectrometers or high-resolution remote sensors.
The high-tech wizardry of integrated photonics
PhD candidate Sabrina Corsetti builds photonic devices that manipulate light to enable previously unimaginable applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers.
By performing deep learning at the speed of light, this chip could give edge devices new capabilities for real-time data analysis.
All promotions and appointments will take effect July 1, 2025.
Berggren, who develops technologies to push the envelope of what is possible with photonics and electronic devices, succeeds Joel Voldman.
Noninvasive imaging method can penetrate deeper into living tissue
Using high-powered lasers, this new method could help biologists study the body’s immune responses and develop new medicines.
The tiny device uses a tightly focused beam of light to capture and manipulate cells.
3Qs: Jelena Notaros on the new Silicon Photonics class within 6-5, Electrical Engineering With Computing
One of the signal changes of 6.5, Electrical Engineering With Computing, is the organization of upper-level classes into tracks, including an undergraduate engineering sequence in Electromagnetics and Photonics. Jelena Notaros, Assistant Professor in EECS, developed a new class included in that track, “Silicon Photonics”.
