Title:
Metamaterial photonic nanoantennas for optical phased arrays
Agreement Number:
925201
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
We will use metamaterial integrated photonic design to address the critical technical issues with current on-chip optical phased arrays, which are the core part of LIDAR systems. A new type of optical phased array based on densely packed high-efficiency grating couplers and surface-emitting nanoantennas will be investigated, including the key performance parameters such as the directionality of the emitted beam, the steering range and field divergence.
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.

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.
NAICS Code:
541710 - R&D in the physical, engineering and life sciences
