WELCOME!
Advanced Photonic Devices and Systems Laboratory (APDSL) is established by Dr. Ozdal Boyraz in 2005. Major research areas include silicon-based integrated optics, light detection and ranging (lidar), and optical communications systems and devices. Current research activities include:
- Simultaneous ranging and velocimetry using coherent lidars
- Lidar systems for CubeSat platforms
- Metalens design for free-space optical applications
- Free-space optical communication
- Bolometric infrared detectors
- Plasmonics for STT-RAM memory cells
- Mid-infrared photonics based on silicon-on-sapphire waveguides
- Wide-field-of-view imaging using micro-mirrors
- Active photonic devices based on nonlinear properties of silicon
- Time-stretching optical system
- Optical leaky-wave antenna
- Trench waveguides
- Plasmonic antennas
- Optical tweezing
