Substrate-Independent Technique of III-V Heterogeneous Integration of Focal Plane Arrays and Lasers

CLEO: Science and Innovations, CLEO:S and I 2023

Wood, Michael G.; Bahr, Matthew; Serkland, Darwin K.; Gutierrez, Jordan E.; Anderson, Evan M.; Finnegan, Patrick S.; Weatherred, Scott E.; Martinez, William M.; Laros, James H.; Reyna, Robert; Arterburn, Shawn C.; Friedmann, Thomas A.; Hawkins, Samuel D.; Patel, Victor J.; Hendrickson, Alex; Klem, John F.; Long, Christopher M.; Olesberg, Jonathon T.; Shank, Joshua S.; Chumney, Daniel R.; Looker, Quinn M.

We report on a two-step technique for post-bond III-V substrate removal involving precision mechanical milling and selective chemical etching. We show results on GaAs, GaSb, InP, and InAs substrates and from mm-scale chips to wafers.

Full-resolution two-color infrared detector

2021 IEEE Research and Applications of Photonics in Defense Conference, RAPID 2021

Anderson, Evan M.; Campbell, DeAnna M.; Briscoe, Jayson B.; Coon, Wesley T.; Alford, Charles A.; Wood, Michael G.; Klem, John F.; Gamache, Phillip G.; Gunter, Mathew M.; Olesberg, Jonathon T.; Hawkins, Samuel D.; Rohwer, Lauren E.; Stephenson, Chad A.; Peters, D.W.; Goldflam, Michael G.

We discuss thinned InAsSb resonant infrared detectors that are designed to enable high quantum efficiency by using interleaved nanoantennas to read out two wavelengths from each pixel simultaneously.

Optically-Triggered Optical Limiters for Short-Wavelength Infrared Sensor Protection

2021 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, CLEO 2021 - Proceedings

Wood, Michael G.; Mckay, Alec; Morin, Theodore J.; Serkland, Darwin K.; Luk, Ting S.; Wolfley, Steven L.; Gastian, Loren G.; Mudrick, John M.; Jasperson, Ben; Johnson, Harley T.

We report experimental and numerical developments extending the operating range of vanadium dioxide based optical limiters into the short-wavelength infrared. Pixelated sensor elements have been fabricated which show optically-triggered limiting of a 2.7 µm probe.

Analyzing Custom Proof Masses and Quantum Limits of a Manufacturable Cavity Optical Levitation Solution

Grine, Alejandro J.; Serkland, Darwin K.; Schultz, Justin S.; Wood, Michael G.; Finnegan, Patrick S.; Weatherred, Scott E.; Peake, Gregory M.; Sandoval, Annette S.; Alliman, Darrel; Li, Tongcang; Seberson, Troy

This report details results of a one-year LDRD to understand the dynamics, figures of merit, and fabrication possibilities for levitating a micro-scale, disk-shaped dielectric in an optical field. Important metrics are the stability, positional uncertainty, and required optical power to maintain levitation. Much of the results are contained in a publication written by our academic alliance collaborators. Initial structures were grown at Sandia labs and a test fabrication flow was executed. Owing to our strength in VCSEL lasers, we were particularly interested in calculations and fabrication flows that could be compatible with a VCSEL light source.

Compact, Pull-in-Free Electrostatic MEMS Actuated Tunable Ring Resonator for Optical Multiplexing

Optics InfoBase Conference Papers

Ruyack, Alexander R.; Grine, Alejandro J.; Finnegan, Patrick S.; Serkland, Darwin K.; Robinson, Samuel; Weatherred, Scott E.; Frost, Megan D.; Nordquist, Christopher N.; Wood, Michael G.

We present an optical wavelength division multiplexer enabled by a ring resonator tuned by MEMS electrostatic actuation. Analytical analysis, simulation and fabrication are discussed leading to results showing controlled tuning greater than one FSR.

Direct-write orientation of charge-transfer liquid crystals enables polarization-based coding and encryption

Scientific Reports

Kaehr, Bryan J.; Van Winkle, Madeline; Wallace, Harper O.W.; Smith, Niquana; Pomerene, Andrew P.; Wood, Michael G.; Reczek, Joseph J.

Optical polarizers encompass a class of anisotropic materials that pass-through discrete orientations of light and are found in wide-ranging technologies, from windows and glasses to cameras, digital displays and photonic devices. The wire-grids, ordered surfaces, and aligned nanomaterials used to make polarized films cannot be easily reconfigured once aligned, limiting their use to stationary cross-polarizers in, for example, liquid crystal displays. Here we describe a supramolecular material set and patterning approach where the polarization angle in stand-alone films can be precisely defined at the single pixel level and reconfigured following initial alignment. This capability enables new routes for non-binary information storage, retrieval, and intrinsic encryption, and it suggests future technologies such as photonic chips that can be reconfigured using non-contact patterning.
