Optical phased array neural probes for beam-steering in brain tissue

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | Summary:Implantable silicon neural probes with integrated nanophotonic waveguides can deliver patterned dynamic illumination into brain tissue at depth. Here, we introduce neural probes with integrated optical phased arrays and demonstrate optical beam steering in vitro. Beam formation in brain tissue was simulated and characterized. The probes were used for optogenetic […]

Tuning color centers at a twisted interface

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crommie | First 5 Authors: Cong Su, Fang Zhang, Salman Kahn, Brian Shevitski, Jingwei Jiang | Summary: Color center is a promising platform for quantum technologies, but their application is hindered by the typically random defect distribution and complex mesoscopic environment. Employing cathodoluminescence, we demonstrate that an ultraviolet-emitting single photon emitter can […]
