Integrated optics as a toolbox for communication, quantum science, and sensing
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Integrated optics promises to bring the rich world of optical technology to the nanoscale; the fabrication of bulk optics on chips shows great promise in applications across communications, sensing, augmented and virtual reality, and even quantum computing. However, multitudinous challenges must be overcome to make these applications a reality. In this thesis, I will present new experimental and theoretical techniques to tackle four such challenges. First, I will describe how nonlinear optics can be used to generate passive optical isolators - filling a critical gap in integrated photonic infrastructure. Second, I will show how photonic inverse design can be applied to mode multiplexing to enable higher bandwidth optical communications. Third, I will describe new techniques for the scalable integration of 2D materials into photonic devices, allowing us to take advantage of their unique material process in a way that is compatible with mass manufacturing. Finally, I will show how inverse design techniques can be used to optimize modulatory signals in solid-state quantum systems to engineer their spectra and interactions.
