NSF Young Investigator: Advanced Interconnect and Display Approaches

这项工作的主要重点是解决高带宽可重构互连系统的设计和实现的基础上，微机电系统（MEMS），通常被称为微机械处理的问题。 不同的导波光学和全息自由空间光开关元件正在实施和比较的带宽，开关重构率，和可编程范围。 应用到数据交换，可编程互连器件的快速原型正在解决与关注技术和系统范围的性能/成本设计问题。 与传统技术进行了比较。 还正在研究的是一些光学MEMS元件的应用，以先进的图像投影。

The primary focus of this work is to resolve issues dealing with the design and implementation of high bandwidth reconfigurable interconnect systems based on Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) which are commonly referred to as Micromachines. Different guided-wave optical and holographic free-space optical switch elements are being implemented and compared in terms of bandwidth, switch reconfiguration rate, and range of programmability. Application to data switching, and programmable interconnect devices for rapid prototyping are being addressed with attention to both technological and system-wide performance/cost design issues. Comparisons are made with conventional technologies. Also being investigated is the application of some of the optical MEMS elements to advanced image projection.
