Recent advances in the growth of quantum dot structures and in fabricating buried oxidised layers to create high refractive index contrast waveguides have opened up the possibility of creating integrated photonics on a platform compatible with growth on silicon. In this project, we will design, fabricate and test an integrated circuit for use in optical coherence tomography for the detection and visualisation of skin cancer. We will make use of an on-chip swept wavelength laser source coupled to waveguide routing elements and an on-chip detector for use in a swept wavelength interferometer. The funded student will be expected to focus on design, fabrication and characterisations of the individual components and system with support from postdoc researchers and other team members.

在量子点结构的生长和制造埋藏氧化层以制造高折射率对比度波导方面的最新进展，开辟了在与硅上生长兼容的平台上创建集成光子学的可能性。在这个项目中，我们将设计、制造和测试一个集成电路，用于光学相干断层扫描，用于皮肤癌的检测和可视化。我们将利用与波导路由元件耦合的片上扫描波长激光源和用于扫描波长干涉仪的片上探测器。获得资助的学生将在博士后研究人员和其他团队成员的支持下，专注于单个组件和系统的设计、制造和表征。
