简历
Aaron Danner 出生并成长在美国密苏里州西北部的一个农场。在受聘于新加坡国立大学之前,他供职于Agilent Technologies(即安捷伦科技,现更名为Avago Technologies,即安华科技)。在那里他的研究包括光子晶体、节能发光二极管结构、纳米技术加工方法及量子信息处理。在加入Avago Technologies之前,他曾于作为访问学者在日本東京工業大学(Tokyo Institute of Technology)微型系统研究中心工作,在那里他致力于高速垂直空腔表面发射激光器的特征的研究。他以年级第一名的成绩从密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校(the University of Missouri at Columbia)获得电机工程学士学位。之后,他分别于和从伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)获得了电机工程硕士和博士学位。他是美国国家科学基金会奖学金的获得者。同时他也是IEEE-Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (LEOS) 和 the Optical Society of America (OSA)的成员。

研究方向
  • 纳米光子设备及其加工方法
  • 光子晶体和其在发光二极管和激光上的应用
  • 光子设备原理和模拟
  • 量子计算/量子信息处理

在未来研究计划方面,我将致力于那些对人类生活有着重大影响的研究,当然这同时也是最具有难度和挑战性的。例如,光子晶体和纳米结构的研究有可能对光子的运动以及量子信息的传输起到划时代的控制作用。由于它可以影响到光子的生成,储存,连接和远程传输,对这一技术的改进和发展最终可以将我们带入到量子计算时代,到那时一些现在无法解决的问题将变为可能。同时,对光子晶体的研究将推动一些具有重大意义的设备的诞生,例如,微缩密集多通道光学元件(上行/下行多路复用器,可调的微型空腔激光等)。作为表面光栅和带边沿设备,光子晶体也同样可以提高垂直空腔表面发射激光器的效率。上面的图片从左至右分别是带有光子晶体表面光栅(220nm 格空位)的氮化镓光表面发射器,运行中的装配设备(见参考11),扫描电子显微镜拍摄的蚀刻纹路(540nm 格空位 – 见参考27),和一个带有光子晶体的垂直空腔表面发射激光器(见参考2)。有兴趣加入我研究组的同学可直接通过电子邮件与我联系。

我们可以用平面波展开法在频率空间中模拟光子晶体和其他的周期性结构。有兴趣的同学可以通过我的 平面波展开法的讲座 学习如何计算光子晶体能带图。在利用商业和免费的软件来计算光子晶体能带图的同时,我们也可以用相似的方法来模拟半导体的电子能带图。同学们可以借由我对 伪势方法 的详细描述来学习这个计算方法。此链接也包括了一个免费的应用此方法的数学文件。对于初学者,我推荐以下参考材料(要求电磁场基础知识)。
