Light that Twists inside fibers
Speaker :- Siddharth Ramachandran Professor, ECE Department & Photonics Center, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA, http://people.bu.edu/sidr Abstract :-In the last decade, some of the most extensively studied complex light beams are optical vortices, which possess phase or polarization singularities. These beams are interesting because they resemble the emission patterns of single molecule dipoles, or because they potentially represent an infinite set of eigenstates that can be constructed with light. Their use has been demonstrated in, or proposed for, several applications…

Speaker: Prof. Sebastian Lourdudoss, KTH, Sweden Abstract: The seminar consists of two parts. The first part deals with heteroepitaxy of InP on Si. Combination of III-V semiconductor based devices on silicon is advantageous for electronics-photonics integration and cost effective solar cells. So far bonding approaches are predominant. Heteroepitaxial approach is more attractive for large scale integration. I will present our approach and some recent results on near laser emission from quantum wells grown on InP on Si and demonstration of…

Speaker : Ignatius Bezzam Abstract : Power consumption is a burning issue in high performance systems based on deep submicron (DSM) processors (CPUs and GPUs). Resonant circuit operation for power consumption improvements in high speed clocking applications has been extensively studied. The energy used to charge the clock grid node each period can be recycled within the LC resonant tank network formed by the large global clock capacitance and integrated inductors. Novel integration of resonant circuits that can save several watts of…
