Photonics research at Stanford University is strongly interdisciplinary, and includes the fields of laser optics, microscopy, neuroscience, solar cells, ophthalmology, and telecommunications, to name just a few. Find out more »
Faculty Spotlight
David A. B. Miller: W.M. Keck Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering, and Professor, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
Professor Miller’s group performs research on the use of optics in switching and interconnection systems as well as exploring the fundamental limits for optics in interconnections. Particular areas of interest are quantum well and nanophotonic optics and optoelectronics. Miller’s group has developed, in collaboration with Harris’s group, new high speed reflective modulators based on Ge quantum wells that are compatible with Si substrates. This provides a pathway to the achievement of monolithically integrated Si chips that combine CMOS electronics with high performance optical interconnects.

Lessons from Scotland on Stem Cell Research
April 6, 2009
The Stanford-Scotland Photonics Innovation Collaboration Science Bridge came as a result of a £1.6 million award to Stanford University from the UK Research Councils. Stanford and Scottish universities have been working together for over 30 years, and this new funding will help develop advanced imaging technologies for the life sciences; it's a powerful transatlantic partnership that defies national boundaries and shares a commitment by all sides to success.
