SAW Lab includes a mix of radio-frequency (RF) equipment to measure and power SAW devices coupled with a number of lasers for optical measurements. The laser sources include pulsed and tuanble diode lasers for photoluminescence experiments, and a high coherence Nd:YAG laser for interferometric surface mapping of the SAWs. Out optical detection spans optical thorough the 1500nm infrared regime used by telecommunications, including single photon detectors. We use a closed cycle cryostat that, with the push of a button, can cool the sample down to 5K. As well...
The Queen's Nanophotonics Research Centre is undergoing final renovations and will be ready soon!
NanoFabrication Kingston (NFK) is located at Queen's . This is where our SAW devices and Phononic Crystal devices are fabricated.
