Title:
Polarization control components for quantum photonic chips
Agreement Value:
$194,997.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2025
Description:
This project will develop the integrated components for polarization splitting and rotation required by the quantum photonic circuits of the Small Teams Ideation fund project “Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Interconnects”. To achieve the required performance, we will exploit machine learning techniques to develop a flexible design methodology for the optimization of device geometries with a large number of design parameters and incorporating subwavelength metamaterials. This will make it possible to optimize designs with multiple figures of merit and provide efficient multi-wavelength design capabilities.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
