Chip Tweezers

NIST Inventors

Jeff Chiles

This invention is a precision tool, specifically a type of specialized tweezer, for manipulating small samples of various materials, especially fragile microchips. These tweezers are specially designed to safely pick up and handle small, delicate items without touching their top or bottom surfaces

Self-referencing Nonlinear Frequency Converting Photonic Waveguide and Self-referencing Nonlinear Frequency Conversion

NIST Inventors

Jeff Chiles and Ian Coddington

The invention is an optical frequency comb sub-system that utilizes nano-scale photonic waveguides made of aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) to perform the nonlinear frequency conversion required to realize f-to-2f self-referencing. Thanks to the high optical nonlinearities, this task can be

Systems and Methods for Efficient Optical Frequency Conversion with Integrated Optical Systems

NIST Inventors

Jeff Chiles

Various embodiments of the present technology provide a novel architecture for optical frequency conversion in a waveguide which can be applied to any suitable nonlinear waveguide material and any wavelength. In accordance with some embodiments, phase-matched bends can be used to increase the
