High-Resolution and Energy-Efficient Voltage-Tunable Device for Holographic and Reflective Displays
An array of individually addressable microscale optical resonators that offer higher resolution, lower power consumption, extremely rich color tones, and a unique manufacturing path. Problem: Current display devices, with either active or reflective displays, are limited by high power consumption, inadequate resolution, and limited viewing angles....

Graphene Metamaterials
Advanced optical materials made possible using graphene Problem: Plasmonic nanostructures are used to create metamaterials with unusual optical properties. Most metamaterials to date have been constructed using noble metals, however, these metals have inherent losses that degrade the metamaterial's optical properties. Graphene does not have...

Diamond Waveguides for Photonic Devices
Problem: Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) can transmit information for computing using light rather than electricity. Using PICs on chips would allow for faster data transmission rates, lower power consumption, and less energy wasted through thermal dissipation. Diamond is a promising material for PICs due to its optical properties, however, fabrication...

Nanocircuits at Optical Frequencies
Problem: Conventional electric circuit elements operate in the radio frequency (RF) domain. However, shrinking circuits down to smaller sizes presents some difficulties as the metallic elements do not behave the same way at the nanoscale. If circuit elements could be created that operate at optical frequencies, they could be made much smaller than...
