LiDAR Transceiver

General, Research

Indium phosphide (InP) tunable transceivers enabled many applications in the telecommunication industry. Recently, advances in silicon photonics (SiPh) have led to high density photonicsintegrated circuits (PICs) including optical phased arrays (OPA) for 2D beamsteering applications.  Our group has been developing an InP PIC transceiver for frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR. The PIC transceiver consists…

Remote Sensing Lidar for Atmospheric Gas Detection

Research

Monolithic integration of optical devices greatly reduces the cost, size, weight and power consumption (SWaP) of photonic systems. For space applications, this can enable deployment on smaller platforms and more frequent missions. This project aims to measure atmospheric constituents such as carbon dioxide (CO2) using a Lidar photonic integrated circuit s (PIC)s that are closely…
