Ultrafast Characterization of Quantum Optoelectronic and Microwave Photonic Devices and Circuits Research team to transfer new technologies to Ontario's photonic sector.
Leading-edge high-technology industries such as photonics rely on universities to conduct the basic research for innovative products and technologies that enter the market. At the University of Waterloo, a team of scientists led by Dr. Hamed Majedi is investigating innovative, reliable, and cost-effective experimental techniques to characterize quantum optoelectronic and microwave-to-terahertz photonic devices. This new knowledge will become the building blocks for new photonics-based technologies in health care, advanced manufacturing and other core sectors of the economy.
