Sommaire:

MassTech Collaborative has helped to make the Commonwealth a beacon for advanced manufacturing. In partnership with the AIM Photonics manufacturing institute, MassTech has launched five Laboratories for Education and Application Prototypes (LEAPs) within academic institutions spread widely across Massachusetts, to develop a skilled workforce in integrated photonics. Hands-on and in-person workshops, bootcamps and laboratory courses are offered at these LEAPs to learners from academia, industry, and the government.



In addition to teaching how to test Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), each LEAP has a specialized focus. The LEAP @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology focuses on Electronic-Photonic Packaging (EPP), the LEAP @ Worcester Polytechnic Institute – Quinsigamond Community College (WPI-QCC) on bio-medical photonics applications, LEAP @ Stonehill College on materials testing and photodetectors, LEAP@ Bridgewater State University (BSU) on high power and ultrafast near- and mid-infrared lasers and quantum-devices, and finally the LEAP @ Western New England (WNE) University on lasers and RF photonics.

In this talk I will focus on the LEAP at BSU and some of the research and opportunities we could offer to colleagues in Montpellier in research, pedagogical strategies and opportunities and ideas with industry prototyping. In particular, I will present some of the work we have been doing to characterize the nonlinear third order coefficients in waveguide structures (fibers and photonic integrated circuits). The technique, called D-Scan (dispersive scan) uses the temporal analogous of the Z-Scan, treating the waveguides as temporal lenses, and consists in measuring the output spectral broadening of transmitted pulses for various dispersion coefficients φ (2) applied to the injected pulses.
