  • Merging Photonics and Artificial Intelligence at the Nanoscale
    Intelligent Nanophotonics: Merging Photonics and Artificial Intelligence at the Nanoscale Kan Yao1,2, Rohit Unni2 and Yuebing Zheng1,2,* 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA 2Texas Materials Institute, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Nanophotonics has been an active research field over the past two decades, triggered by the rising interests in exploring new physics and technologies with light at the nanoscale. As the demands of performance and integration level keep increasing, the design and optimization of nanophotonic devices become computationally expensive and time-inefficient. Advanced computational methods and artificial intelligence, especially its subfield of machine learning, have led to revolutionary development in many applications, such as web searches, computer vision, and speech/image recognition. The complex models and algorithms help to exploit the enormous parameter space in a highly efficient way. In this review, we summarize the recent advances on the emerging field where nanophotonics and machine learning blend. We provide an overview of different computational methods, with the focus on deep learning, for the nanophotonic inverse design. The implementation of deep neural networks with photonic platforms is also discussed. This review aims at sketching an illustration of the nanophotonic design with machine learning and giving a perspective on the future tasks. Keywords: deep learning; (nano)photonic neural networks; inverse design; optimization. 1. Introduction Nanophotonics studies light and its interactions with matters at the nanoscale [1]. Over the past decades, it has received rapidly growing interest and become an active research field that involves both fundamental studies and numerous applications [2,3].

A profound understanding of the underlying physics has inspired the emergence of a new frontier of materials and devices in the past few decades. is thesis explores the concepts and approaches for manipulating light at the wavelength-scale in a variety of topics, including anti-reective coatings, on- chip silicon photonics, optical microcavities and nanolasers, microwave particle accelerators, and optical nonlinearities. In Chapter , an optimal tapered prole that maximizes light transmission be- tween two media with different refractive indices is derived from analytical theory and numerical modeling. A broadband wide-angle anti-reective coating at the air/silicon interface is designed for the application of photovoltaics.

ALSOLAMY has been approved for the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the College of Arts and Sciences by Eric A. Stinaff Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ALSOLAMY, SAMAR, M., M.S., May 2013, Physics and Astronomy The Study of Coupling in InGaAs Quantum Rings Grown by Droplet Epitaxy Director ofThesis: Eric A. Stinaff The use of metal droplet epitaxy may provide a novel method of growing laterally coupled nanostructures. We will present optical studies of InAs/GaAs nanostructures which result in twin quantum dots (QD) formed on a single quantum ring (QR). Previous studies have investigated the coupling between vertically grown quantum dot pairs. In this thesis, we have used photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) to examine the possibility of energy transfer and coupling between quantum dot pairs in a single InGaAs quantum ring grown by droplet epitaxy. Power dependent photoluminescence spectra reveal a few peaks at low power, which are identified with emission from the ground state of the individual dots. As the power is increased we observe multi-exciton and excited state emission. We then perform PLE, tuning the excitation laser energy continuously from the high energy ring emission down to the individual dot states.

  • A Solution-Processed 1.53 Μm Quantum Dot Laser with Temperature
    A solution-processed 1.53 μm quantum dot laser with temperature-invariant emission wavelength S. Hoogland, V. Sukhovatkin, I. Howard, S. Cauchi, L. Levina, E. H. Sargent The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto Toronto, ON, Canada, M5S 3G4 [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Sources of coherent, monochromatic short-wavelength infrared (1-2 μm) light are essential in telecommunications, biomedical diagnosis, and optical sensing. Today’s semiconductor lasers are made by epitaxial growth on a lattice-matched single-crystal substrate. This strategy is incompatible with direct growth on silicon. Colloidal quantum dots synthesized in solution can, in contrast, be coated onto any surface. Here we show a 1.53 μm laser fabricated using a remarkably simple process: dipping a glass capillary into a colloidal suspension of semiconductor quantum dots. We developed the procedures to produce a smooth, low-scattering-loss film inside the capillary, resulting in a whispering gallery mode laser with a well-defined threshold. While there exist three prior reports of optical gain in infrared-emitting colloidal quantum dots [1, 2, 3], this work represents the first report of an infrared laser made using solution processing. We also report dλmax/dT, the temperature-sensitivity of lasing wavelength, of 0.03 nm/K, the lowest ever reported in a colloidal quantum dot system and 10 times lower than in traditional semiconductor quantum wells. ©2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.5960) Semiconductor lasers; (160.3380) Laser materials; (999.999) Nanocrystal quantum dots.
