Photonic Research Highlights
 International collaboration of researchers at Chalmers

University and Russia, Poland investigated study of
controlling ultra-strong light matter coupling at room
temperature in a system composed of two gold
mirrors separated by very small distance along with
plasmonic gold nano rods.
 A hollow optical fibre developed by the scientist at the

university of Florida greatly reduced noise that
interferes with signals transmitted compared to the
traditional single mode fibre having less noise
reduction capacity.
 A Parylene-based waveguide has the physical

characteristics necessary to enable it to emerge as
the new standard in optical bio interfaces.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University
developed the highly flexible waveguide, which can
additionally operate over a broad spectrum of light.

Photonic Research Highlights
 “Delicate Touch to Treatment by light”. A Modulated

laser pulses ‘part the water’ by creating a small vapor
bubble through which a consecutive laser pulse travels
unimpeded to the targeted stone or tissue, technology
developed used in urinary tract infection.
 Although RT PCR is most widely used detection

procedure in COVID 19, new approach based on
surface plasmon resonance based method shows
great promise in sensing process.
 Xerox says it has “broken the bandwidth barrier” by using

newly invented “Optical MEMS Switch” with single silicon
chip as finger tip size.

Innovation in Photonics
SWED: World's Smallest Ultrasound Detector
-Rishabh Jain
Silicon Waveguide-Etalon Detector (SWED), a world's smallest ultrasound detector developed by a team of researchers from
Germany. The device works on a wholly different principle compared with the existing technology of piezoelectric crystals, which
monitors voltage variation. SWED consists of miniaturized photonic circuits that monitor change in light intensity when it propagates
through them. These tiny circuits enable creating an ultrasound detector, which is 100 times smaller than the size of a human hair
(~0.5 µm) not visible to naked eyes and
ten thousand times smaller than
piezoelectric technology. These
photonics circuits are assembled onto
the top of a silicon chip, researchers
named it as Silicon Photonics
Technology.
This technology overcomes a
disadvantage of the existing
piezoelectric detector, which loses its
sensitivity significantly upon size
reduction. SWED is designed to provide 100 million times better sensitivity than piezoelectric technology when compared in terms
of its area. SWED can provide super-resolution images, i.e., can visualize characteristics even less than one micrometer. They have
demonstrated the SWED's ability at a wavelength 50 times smaller than the ultrasound in their current work. The research team also
indicated that with the integration of SWED into dense arrays, it can enhance its sensitivity, thereby the application. Additionally, the
device can be explored further for other biomedical imaging applications. The technology demonstrating SWED as the smallest
ultrasound detector and published in Nature and can be accessed using the following citation.

Innovation in Photonics
Is Parylene Photonics a future of Optical Biointerfaces?
-Rishabh Jain
A group of scientists from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, has discovered a new optical standard in the field of
optical biointerfaces, named it “Parylene Photonics.” The entire architecture of Parylene Photonics is composed of Parylene C and
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers, which are biocompatible and flexible material platforms. This novel technology is introduced
by Chamanzar and his team, where they demonstrate its potential by monitoring brain activity and biological imaging. These Parylene
Photonics based targeted light delivery systems overcome the disadvantage of damage to brain tissue due to the presence of rigid
materials in traditional waveguides because of their
flexibility. This ultra-compact waveguide comprises Parylene
C, a polymer of high refractive index, is used as core and
wrapped around with the PDMS, which has a very low
refractive index. This difference in refractive index results in
the efficient light delivery to the targeted location. This kind
of development in the biomedical instrumentation domain
can prove to be a turning point soon.
Additionally, the team has also mentioned that apart from
being a suitable candidate in optical biointerfaces, this can
one day be applied to wearables. These wearables can be
used to monitor multiple body parameters such as heart rate,
stress level, pulse, cancer biomarkers, and many others. The research demonstrating its application at the neuron level is published
in Nature Microsystems & Nanoengineering. For more information related to this, please refer to the citation below.

Careers & Education
Photonics Societies (IEEE, SPIE, OSA, etc.) offers a wide range of learning, career enhancement, and
professional development opportunities within the photonics and optics community. The goal is to provide
programs that ensure knowledge and skill growth among professionals and to foster an individual
commitment to continuing education among members, the photonics community, and the general public.

Careers & Education

-Anupma Thakur
2. Photonics Research Centers
To grow the optical & photonics community, various societies like the IEEE Photonics Society, SPIE & OSA offer databases
for members and non-members. The research/educational center database can assist members and volunteers to actively
search for centers and institutions. This database can boost volunteers' morale, distinguished lecturers, and student
chapters to facilitate academic exchange. These centers/clusters are concentrations of optics/photonics-related firms and
universities that maintain an intense research and workforce ties, create quality jobs, share everyday economic needs,
and work with government and stakeholders to strengthen the industry. Please visit:

https://www.osa.org/en-us/get_involved/technical_groups/
3. Career Centers
A career in photonics is essentially a career in optical engineering, the other branches being illumination engineering and
optoelectronics, which encompasses working on the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing,
switching, amplification, detection, and sensing of light. Photonics jobs involve technical applications of light over the
whole spectrum from ultraviolet to visible to the near, mid, and far-infrared. Most jobs, however, involve the visible and
near-infrared light. There are many jobs in the design and manufacture of semiconductor light sources like light-emitting
and superluminescent diodes (LEDs and SLDs), thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), fluorescent lamps,
cathode ray tubes (CRTs), plasma display panels (PDPs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting polymer
(LEPs). A career in photonics could also concentrate on transmission media, like glass fibers or plastic optical fibers (POFs),
doped fiber amplifiers (DFAs), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), Raman amplifiers, photodiodes (PDs) for
communications applications, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) for digital cameras, solar cells that are used for harvesting
energy from the sunlight, etc. As a niche online job board, the following links to career centers help to more efficiently
connect students for post-doctoral research, employers, job seekers, and consultants within the optics and photonics
community compared to broader job boards. Please visit:
