SUPER-PIXELS: CHANGING THE WAY WE SEE THE WORLD
Team of complex photonics of ISI CAS has gained EC FET with project SUPERPIXEL, together with s University of Glasgow, Politecnico Milano a Max Planck MPL.
The project will be led by ISI Steven Simpson in collaboration with Johanna Traegaardh.
In this project we will develop and use a new type of light sensor, the "Super-Pixel", which detects not only the intensity of light, but also it's phase and polarization.
The sensor is an integrated photonics device based on a mesh of several hundred Mach-Zehnder interferometers.
The sensor also allows complex on-chip manipulation of the light, and could be used as a reconfigurable mode converter, which could transform how we do imaging experiments.
Such a sensor can be used for a range of applications such as nano-particle detection, compact atmospheric corrected imaging systems, and multimode fiber endoscopy.
