Microelectronic-Photonic Interface Circuits
Illumination for Healthcare
Our cutting-edge research in microelectronic-photonic interfaces is driving the future of healthcare by offering precise, efficient, and safe illumination for a range of biomedical applications.
Our research interests span a broad range of technologies, including single photon sensing, smart µLED arrays, and polymer waveguides, all designed to advance healthcare outcomes and one day possibly improve patient lives.
Our research in microelectronic-photonic interfaces focuses on the following technologies:
CMOS single photon detectors for ultrafast detection of single photons with nanosecond dead time and up to 130 dB dynamic range .
