In this talk we will introduce the concept of the atomic cladded waveguide and discuss the physics and the applications of light-vapor interactions at the nanoscale. We will start by demonstrating the spectroscopy of the cell, followed by demonstrating effects such as long coherence, velocity selection and optical information processing.

Remarkable progress has been made in the development of hardware for quantum technologies. As a platform for quantum technologies, integrated photonics has enabled significant leaps for integrating many components, including programmable circuitry, photon sources and detectors. However, machines such as fault tolerant quantum computers appear to be a long way off for all platforms, including photonics.

Silicon photonic biosensors have shown to be capable of obtaining state-of-the-art sensitivity values unattainable with other technologies. Besides, they offer small footprint allowing multiplexed solutions to be realized in a single chip and potential low cost due to compatibility with the CMOS manufacturing infrastructure.

We report an on-chip, acousto-optic beam steering technique that uses only a single gigahertz acoustic transducer to steer light beams into free space. Exploiting the physics of Brillouin scattering, where beams steered at different angles are labeled with unique frequency shifts, this technique uses a single coherent receiver to resolve an object’s angular position in the frequency domain and enables frequency-angular resolving (FAR) LiDAR.
