2021 IEEE GROUP IV PHOTONICS CONFERENCE
BEST STUDENT PAPER WINNERS
BEST STUDENT PAPER WINNERS WERE ANNOUNCED AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY
First Place
Pablo Ginel-Moreno, Universidad de Málaga, Spain
“Integrated metamaterial surface-emitting antenna for beam steering applications”
Integrated optical antennas are relevant devices for the development of next-generation LIDAR systems. Here we experimentally demonstrate a new topology to implement long antennas in silicon-on-insulator platform. The designed 2-millimeter-long antenna presents a measured far-field beam divergence of 0.1° and a wavelength sensitivity of 0.13°/nm.

Second Place
Farhan Bin Tarik, Clemson University, USA
“Secure authentication of 56 physically unclonable silicon photonic integrated circuits”
We demonstrate the physical unclonability and secure authentication of fifty-six nanophotonic devices with identical design, fabricated from silicon moiré photonic quasicrystal interferometers. Such structures show promise for cryptographic applications such as authentication and identification.

Third Place
Khadijeh Miarabbas Kiani, McMaster University, Canada
“High-Q-factor tellurium oxide clad silicon microring resonators”
We present the design and experimental measurement of high-Q-factor on-chip tellurium-oxide-coated silicon microring resonators with internal Q factors of up to 1.5 × 106, corresponding to 0.4 dB/cm waveguide loss, at wavelengths around 1550 nm.
