This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)Phase I project seeks to develop and commercialize novel types of 3D microphotonic materials and devices for the visible spectrum. Despite the significant amount of research performed on photonic bandgap materials in the past decade, an approach to create full 3D photonic crystals in the visible region that could combine high performance with low cost manufacturability has remained a largely unobtainable goal. This breakthrough approach is enabled by an unique ability to precisely modulate the vertical pore structure in highly ordered nanoporous alumina, which can allow the confinement of light not just in-plane, but in 3 dimensions. The process will allow tuning of the photonic characteristics of the material, in particular the bandgap, to the desired levels. Several innovative techniques to deposit materials inside the nanoporous lattice will afford both lateral and vertical modification of the refractive index of the structure. This, combined with the ability to micromachine the resulting structures, will enable the creation of advanced microphotonic and optoelectronic devices and components for optical communications and computing.The techniques proposed could lead to the creation of dense monolithic photonic and optoelectronic components and circuits for very high speed optical computing and communication.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在开发和商业化新型3D微光子材料和可见光谱设备。尽管在过去的十年中对光子带隙材料进行了大量的研究，但是在可见光区域中创建可以将联合收割机高性能与低成本可制造性相结合的全3D光子晶体的方法仍然是很大程度上无法实现的目标。这种突破性的方法是通过精确调节高度有序的纳米多孔氧化铝中的垂直孔结构的独特能力实现的，这可以允许光的限制不仅在平面内，而且在3维中。该过程将允许将材料的光子特性（特别是带隙）调谐到期望的水平。在纳米多孔晶格内部存款材料的几种创新技术将提供结构的折射率的横向和垂直修改。这一点，结合微加工的能力，所产生的结构，将使先进的微光子和光电子器件和组件的光通信和计算的创建。提出的技术可能会导致创建密集的单片光子和光电子元件和电路的非常高速的光计算和通信。
