Laboratory of Micro/Nanophotonics

Head of the Laboratory: Dr. Dana Cristea

Objective ICT-2009.3.7: Photonics, Target outcome a) Photonics technologies, components and (sub)systems:

- MODELLING, SIMULATION, CAD - Customized design (lay-out, technology process) and optimization for:

  • Photonic integrated circuits
  • MOEMS
  • Micro-optics

- Mask design;

Examples:

  • Accurate modeling of a large variety of photonic and plasmonic systems with finite difference time domain method using commercial software OptiFDTD;
  • Accurate modeling of microoptical components (microlenses, microprisms, Frenels lenses, diffractive optic elements) with the beam propagation method using commercial software OptiBPM and 3Lith;
  • Modeling and simulations of active photonic devices (laser diodes, VCSEL diodes) using the commercial software LaserMode;
Simulation and CAD for vertically coupled microring resonators – project Waferbonding and Active Passive Integration Technology (WAPITI), STREP- Priority 2 (IST)
  • Simulation and CAD for lateral   coupled microring resonators and  multimode-interference (MMI)  - national R&D projects  CEEX
  • Microring resonators
