AMO is exhibitor at the 2024 ECIO edition

AMO’s mission as a research oriented company is to efficiently close the gap between university research and industrial application. For this purpose AMO identifies those topics from basic research that seem particularly suitable for industrial implementation and demonstrates these in application-oriented technology. In joint projects and bilateral cooperation, research and development results are transferred to industry for maintenance and creation of jobs.

Power-efficient silicon nitride soliton microcombs

Microcombs are strong contenders for attaining the frequency stability and performance of standard passively modelocked lasers on a chip scale. Understanding the optical phase noise dynamics in soliton microcombs and enhancing the power efficiency are crucial directions for the development of ultra-low timing jitter pulsed sources on-chip with enhanced repetition rate stability and ultra-low optical linewidth.

Integrated devices and high-dimensional photonic systems for quantum technologies

Quantum technologies promise a change of paradigm for many fields of application, for example in communication systems, in high-performance computing and simulation of quantum systems, as well as in sensor technology. However, the experimental realization of suitable system still poses considerable challenges. Current efforts in photonic quantum target the implementation of practical and scalable systems, where the realization of controlled quantum network structures is key for many applications.

3D integration enabling ultra-low noise isolator-free lasers in silicon photonics

Laser integration in silicon photonics has been tackled by heterogeneous integration with compound III-V materials. The availability of ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides offer the possibilities in enabling ultra low noise lasers, through self-injection locking of lasers with ultra-high-Q microresonators.

Atom-photon interactions in atomic vapor waveguides

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.

Integrated photonic quantum technologies

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.

Integrated Photonic Biosensors

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.

New integrated LiDAR technology using chip-integrated beam steering and frequency-angular imaging

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.
