Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase I year
2012
Phase I Amount
$99,895
aBeam Technologies, Inc. proposes a new printing technology for fabricating photonic devices. This nanofabrication process could potentially reduce to a single step, the fabrication of photonic crystals by direct imprinting on inorganic materials. The method is low cost and suitable for large-scale areas. The demonstration of feasibility of the method will provide the basis for fabricating a new class of quantum-dot nanolasers in Phase II.

Benefit:
Our approach will revolutionize the fabrication of nanophotonic components and will allow development of new photonic devices. The first targeted application will be a new class of quantum-dot nanolaser arrays. It will then be expanded into other areas of photonic applications, such as for displays. The method promises to enable the development of many other nanophotonic applications.

Keywords:
nanoimprint, photonic devices, inorganic materials, lasers
