The SMALL Microscope: Scanning microscopy on a chip

Fresnel zone plates use extremely short focal lengths. The Crozier lab has demonstrated that an imaging system with a short focal length zone plate, in combination with a spatial filter formed by a relay lens, can provide a high collection…

Invention

A bulk nanomachining method for suspended nanobeam and other free-standing structures

This technology is a bulk nanomachining methodology for fabricating suspended sub-micron and nanoscale nanobeam photonic and mechanical elements. It is based on standard planar fabrication processes (i.e. optical or electron beam lithography and…

Invention

A novel color filter array design scheme significantly reduces hardware complexity

In digital imaging applications, data are typically obtained via a spatial sub-sampling procedure implemented as a color filter array (CFA). CFA assigns a separate primary color to each pixel by placing a filter of that color over the pixel. The…

High-flux, low-power diamond nanowire single-photon source arrays: an enabling material for optical and quantum computing and cryptography

The novel approach taken by the Harvard researchers was to apply top-down nanofabrication techniques to define large arrays of vertically oriented nanowire antennas in a single-crystal diamond substrate. Briefly, structures were made from a…
