is to further the understanding and performance of organic
and polymeric materials and devices for photonics and
electronics applications.
-
Ongoing projects in: hybrid
electro-optic polymers devices for optical networks, silicon
photonic based electro-optic polymer modulators,
photorefractive polymers for 3D display, polymer/nanoparticle
composites for photonics and electronics applications,
polymeric magneto-optic materials and devices, athermal
optical filters for DWDM networks, nonlinear optical
materials and devices for ultrafast optical switching,
materials and devices for single-photon switching, high
efficiency plasmonic infrared emitters, materials for linear
and nonlinear photonic crystals, organic photovoltaics,
wireless sensor networks and sensors, tunable optical
filters and nonlinear optical materials.
-
Additional
research interests include engineered dielectric materials,
materials for advanced photolithography, precision
measurement of thin film linear optical properties,
