Ishihara-lab focuses on the integration technologies for unconventional electronic systems; quantum computers, quantum sensors, neuromorphic computers, and biodegradable sensors. Our work involves new materials, scalable fabrication of electronic and photonic devices, and 3D heterogeneous integration, aiming to realize unconventional electronic systems.

Photonic Integrated Circuits with MEMS optical switches

Throughout the duration of the project, simulation, cleanroom fabrication and optical characterization of silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides will be performed.

Optical investigation will resolve primarily around the visible spectral region. Additionally, benchmarking of the performance of the waveguides by transmitting light at different wavelengths will be made.

As a result, SiN waveguides will serve as directional couplers for MEMS optical switches. They will play a crucial role in on-chip large-scale photonic circuits, integrated with color centers in diamond.
