Introduction to the Photonics World
- Robert Patti (Nhanced-Semiconductors, USA)
Abstract:
Photonics is defined as the field of science and engineering that involves the precise manipulation of light, and particularly at a microscopic level (i.e. the scale of the wavelength of light). One of the key technologies that enable this field is the use of Photonic Integrated Circuits, i.e. chips which make it possible to generate, guide, distribute, diffract, filter, modulate...
Abstract: The confinement of light in optical microguides and cavities enables us to achieve exotic regimes of nonlinear optics, even with low power levels. Specifically, by recirculating light in optical microcavities, the intensity of the stored field can be increased by thousands of times compared to the incident field, resulting in amplified interaction between light and matter. In this...
Abstract: Wireless data and power transmission is a necessity and a challenge in the High Energy Physics (HEP) community: a necessity because it will end up with the cabling and will accelerate the triggering process, a challenge because it requires high rate data transmission, especially in the tracker detector region (close to the interaction point between the two beams of particles) of the...
