TuB1.2 - Metastable III/V Materials for Semiconductor Lasers
Abstract
Abstract
Metastable materials that lie within the miscibility gaps of their equilibrium phase diagrams, as well as the development of lattice-parameter-engineered virtual substrates, offer means to greatly expand the material platforms available for semiconductor lasers to enable higher performance and an increased span of emission wavelengths.TuB1.3 - AUTOMATED DISEASE IDENTIFICATION WITH OPTICAL IMAGING BASED COMPACT AND FIELD PORTABLE BIO-PHOTONICS SENSORS
Abstract
Abstract
This paper will present an overview of our research on integrating optics and photonics for automated cell and disease identification using compact and field portable optical imaging based bio photonics sensors. Automated disease identification using low cost field portable sensors can have a substantial public health impact.TuB2.1 - Optofluidic Waveguides - Construction and Operation
Abstract
Abstract
Biosensors incorporating optofluidic waveguides take advantage of a full suite of integrated optical structures. Compatible with visible wavelengths, these labs-on-chip are constructed primarily from silica films on silicon substrates and include optimized liquid core, buried rib, and multi-mode-interference (MMI) waveguides.TuB2.2 - Optofluidic Waveguides – Biomedical Applications
Abstract
Abstract
I will discuss applications of a waveguide-based chip-scale platform for ultrasensitive biomolecule analysis. Examples include amplification-free detection of nucleic acids, multiplex detection of single viruses using MMI waveguides, simultaneous detection of proteins and nucleic acid biomarkers, and integration of nanopores for electro-optical single molecule analysis.TuB2.3 - BREAKING THE LIMITS IN PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING: SMALLER, DEEPER, AND MORE COLORFUL
Abstract
Abstract
Combining light and sound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a powerful tool for anatomical, functional, and molecular imaging. We are pioneering in multiple PAI new technologies that have collectively enabled miniaturized, deep, and high-sensitivity biomedical applications in drug screening, early cancer detection, and neuronal activity imaging.MH4.1 - PHOTONIC RESONATOR HYBRIDS FOR ULTRASENSITIVE LIQUID BIOPSY OF NUCLEIC ACID BIOMARKERS FOR CANCER

Abstract
Abstract
We demonstrate Photonic Resonator Absorption Microscopy in which plasmonic nanoparticles are easily detected through hybrid resonant coupling when attached to a photonic crystal. The approach is used to detect miRNA cancer biomarkers with digital precision and 100 aM detection limits.
MH4.2 - THREE-DIMENSIONAL HYDRODYNAMIC FOCUSING DESIGNS FOR INTEGRATED OPTOFLUIDIC DETECTION ENHANCEMENT
Abstract
Abstract
Three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing promises to enhance detection capabilities of optofluidic sensors, enabling low concentration interrogation with higher confidence, critical for disease diagnosis. Novel 3DHDF designs with optofluidic channel diameters in the range of ten microns are evaluated, predicting detection enhancement of up to 3.54 times.

Abstract
Abstract
Free space top-down illumination of liquid-core waveguides in an optofluidic chip is implemented by milling slits into a metal layer covering the waveguide channel. Detection of single microbeads with excellent signal-to-noise ratio is demonstrated for different milling depths.
MF2.1 - EVOLUTION OF LONG DISTANCE QKD SYSTEMS
Abstract
Abstract
We show the experimental the evolution of long distance QKD systems over the past decade. Low-noise detectors and new protocols as well as low loss optical fiber have all played a significant role. We also discuss newer innovations such as MDIQKD and dispersion compensating QKDsystems.MF2.2 - Shaping optical fibers to mode division multiplex without MIMO
Abstract
Abstract
MIMO complexity can be reduced or avoided completely by proper design of the few mode optical fiber used for mode division multiplexing. Our focus is high index contrast fibers that avoid the formation of scalar modes, to favor vector modes with more limited modal interactions.PD2 - HIGH-SPEED ULTRAVIOLET-C PHOTODETECTOR BASED ON FREQUENCY DOWN-CONVERTING CSPBBR3 PEROVSKITE NANOCRYSTALS ON SILICON PLATFORM
