The Quantum & Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at NIST is developing advanced packaging techniques to combine photonics and electronics for high-speed data communication and computing. Their research focuses on generating frequency-comb lasers with integrated photonics for emerging applications across the microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz bands. By integrating photonics and electronics, the team aims to leverage the scalability of digital computing with the high bandwidth and coherence of optical signals. Their work on efficient multi-wavelength microresonator frequency comb lasers processed on semiconductor wafers could enable extreme information capacity in data centers and high-performance computing applications like AI.
