3D interferometric imaging system with reception module in integrated optics

Photonics, Imaging and displays Technological challenges

Abstract

3D sensing by capturing depth images, is a key function in numerous emerging applications such as augmented reality, robotics and telemedicine. The laboratory has developed an innovative 3D sensing micro-optical prototype, using a frequency modulated Lidar technology with simultaneous illumination of the whole scene. The next step is the miniaturization of the setup with integrated optics. A first PhD is ongoing in the laboratory, focusing on the integration of the illumination module.
The proposed PhD will target the definition of an integrated optics architecture for the reception module. The main objective is to realize the beam recombination with integrated optics, using waveguides and grating couplers, to enable the heterodyne mixing of light back-scattered by the scene with the local oscillator. The candidate will design these integrated optical components in connection with the refractive optical system, simulate the propagation of the beams and interference using Lumericaland Zemaxsoftwares, contribute to device realization in clean room, perform the optical characterization of the components, and experimentally validate the proof of concept of depth imaging with the miniaturized prototype.
Depending on the progress of the developments, the PhD will include the development of a module combining the illumination and reception functions in a single component. Several patents, publications and presentations in international conferences are expected in the framework of this PhD.
