Abstract:
The goal of this project is to investigate the accelerating optical vortices -(AOV), by using special hybrid optical elements (HOE), in order to improve free space optical and quantum communication (FSOQC). AOV optical beams generates helical non-divergent states with curved trajectories, so they promise FSOQC with high capacity, very high security and robustness in case of atmospheric turbulence. The major advantage of AOV is the curved trajectory which allows FSOQC when are obstacles between the transmitter unit (TU) and receiver unit (RU) – the obstacles can be bypassed. The novelty of this project consists in the design and fabrication of HOE which facilitates the generation of nondiffractive, self-healing and accelerating AOV modes. The technological challenge is to fabricate these optical elements with high optical quality and high mode conversion. This approach has the big advantage that passive optical elements are not influenced by temperature and permits the implementation of compact FSOQC systems. The investigation of encoding, propagation and decoding of AOV states will be performed in an optical system. After that, HOE will be integrated in a quantum system which implements a remote state preparation protocol. The quantum property of OAM entanglement will be exploited in order to generate high security optical link.

Abstract:
The idea of this project, to create an optical imaging system with diffractive elements in the MWIR field, appeared as a good opportunity to capitalize on the experience and know-how accumulated for the realization of an optical imaging system with diffractive elements in the LWIR field. . The diffractive elements were made lithographically, in a previous partnership PRO OPTICA- IMT, financed from European funds., The results obtained previously and those expected to be obtained in the present project, are in line with the directions of interest of Pro Optica to design and realize high performance imaging optical systems, continuous improvement of the technical performances and of the constructive solutions of the observation systems as well as in keeping with the evolution and market requirements. The project has emerged as a necessity to diversify the portfolio of products offered on the national and international market and to develop new products and competitive achievement technologies, with improved performances. Each of the four spectral domains currently used for observation, VIS, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR (the last 3 listed domains are included in the IR domain), has advantages and disadvantages and a perfect system should contain working capabilities for all these areas. Each of these areas has its own specific characteristics, but the use of IR technologies for different applications (car technique, surveillance, medicine, etc.) is very dynamic and in these areas the problems are mainly related to the increase of the performances and the realization of low prices.

Abstract:
The main aim of the proposal is the development of a versatile, stable and reliable technology process for the fabrication of multispectral photodetectors. Multispectral photodetections is required in a large range of space and security applications, including hyperspectral imaging systems for earth and planetary observation, surveillance, detection, alerting and recognition systems. We will develop a technology based on solution procesable semiconducting materials that can be easily deposed using low cost processes and integrated with a large range of substrates. We intend o offer to Romanian SMEs an alternative to the existing technologies for detectors that require expensive epitaxial growing or bonding of multi-layer structures to cover a wider spectral band, from UV to SWIR. We have obtained preliminary results in preparation and deposition of semiconducting thin films based on graphene nanocomposites and PbS quantum dots and experimental fabrication of test structures. The devices show better characteristics in terms of responsivity, dynamic and spectral range than previously published for for PbS-QDs photodetectors integrable with silicon circuits, and even higher than those recently reported for devices based on Si hererojunctions with new 2D materials grapehene or MoS2 monolayers, obtained with a more complex technology process. However, other characteristics (dark current, linearity, response time) have to be improved by including new process steps and interface engineering.
The work plan has a complex structure, including process development and optimization, integration of the main process steps into a versatile process chain, fabrication and characterization of test device to validate the developed technology.
The team involved in the proposal have complementary expertise in the field of optoelectronic devices, micro-nanotechnology & material development, and in advanced characterization techniques.

Abstract:
The proposed project aims the validation of new “proof of concept” for a compact spectrometer working in middle and long infrared. This spectrometer will retain the advantages of the current gas sensor optimized for the detection of one or a few gas species as the low cost, small volume but in the same time will offer the flexibility of the bulky, costly spectrometers. The previous research on such compact spectrometers considered dispersive devices based on MEMS – micro-electro-mechanical systems technology with movable small parts actuated electrostatically or thermally and nondispersive devices based on filters at fixed wavelengths. The nondispersive spectrometer employs either large movable parts as wheel filter or the beam splitting before entering the filter arrray. This project has as the main objective the design and fabrication of a compact spectrometer based on an array of filters without any movable parts which will eliminate the need for power splitting by using a configuration based on a sequential approach (all radiation enters the first filter and the rest of the radiation not transmitted is reflected and further used to enter the second filter, etc).
In order to obtain a spectrometer with good working characteristics it is necessary to design and fabricate high quality components both active (infrared thermal emitters and detectors) and passive (filters and Fresnel lenses). Since the research field on the infrared emitters and detectors is still open, the secondary objective of this project is to obtain original results regarding both infrared emitters and sources which will be published in ISI ranked journals and presented at conferences.
The consortium is made up from IMT-Bucharest as project coordinator, Optoelectronica-2001 as SME, and two other research organizations, ICPE-CA and INFLPR. There are four work packages in this project, the first ones deal with the design and fabrication of the active and passive components for spectrometer and the last two work packages will include the studies on the design and fabrication of the spectrometer.
The task of the design and fabrication of the active and passive components will be the assigned to IMT due to the high expertise of the research staff and also due to the availability of the equipments suitable for microfabrication technologies. There are also available dedicated software packages for electro-thermal-mechanical simulations for active components and optical simulations for passive components. The sensitive layers for the pyroelectric detectors will be deposited by ICPE-CA with RF sputtering or sol-gel method and INFLPR with Pulsed Laser Deposition. The fabrication of high quality infrared thermal detectors is critical for the successful end of the project, that is why the option to consider more deposition method for various sensitive layers has been considered. The characterization of the components will be made by Optoelectronica due the high expertise and equipments available ((sources, camera, FTIR spectrometer working in infrared)
The task of the spectrometer fabrication is assigned to Optoelectronica due to the team members experience in fabrication of optical devices and equipments integrated with control and command circuits. The testing procedure for the spectrometer validation and calibration will be performed by Optoelectronica with IMT.
The intellectual properties rights will be protected by filling patents and the results obtained in this project may be used by SME partner of the consortium – Optoelectronica for development into an product, or as a base of development into a product in cooperation with another company.

Abstract:
The ARCOLAS project addresses an important topic fitted with specific thematic area of New Photonic Materials, namely design and testing as demonstrator of durable advanced antireflection (AR) coatings for plasma mirrors working in ultra-short TW/PW lasers systems.
It is intimate related to the existing high level technological ultra-short pulses lasers network facility in NILPRP (CO) and, with the aim and goal to upscale the obtained optical components for the unique ELI-NP facility to be built in the Magurele research area and where NILPRP is involved as partner.
The project answers to the demand for optical components used to ultra-short high power lasers systems because the number of these facilities is increasing and there are only two suppliers in the world.
The project will be developed in precise steps, following the concept in its theoretical and practical aspects.
First, the composition/combination of the dielectric materials with different refractive indices to be used as thin film(s) and/or heterostructures with antireflection properties will be studied.
The different layers will be obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and PLD assisted by a Radio-Frequency discharge (RF-PLD).
The experimental parameters for obtaining of each layer and of layers combination will be established after their careful characterization by specific techniques as AFM, XRD, spectroellipsometry, SIMS, SEM, HR-TEM, with high performance equipments belonging to the involved partners.
Then, optical components – demonstrators with controlled antireflection characteristics will be obtained based on dielectric layers with optimized properties and deposition architecture with the objective to be compatible with generation of plasma mirrors capable to withstand high energies ultra-short laser pulses.
Simultaneously, computer simulation studies regarding the phenomena that rise when a high energy ultra-short laser beam hits a material will be performed using Particle in Cell-Finite Difference Time Domain method.
Of a paramount importance in the project will be the components-demonstrator for plasma mirror testing in ultra-short high intensity laser field, in relativistic regime (intensities of 1018 W/cm2 - 1020 W/cm2). This will be made at INFLPR, where there is already established a complete and unique power-chain laser system: GIWALAS – GW, TEWALAS – TW and CETAL – 1 PW. The possibility of the direct access to these facilities will allow a rapid feedback regarding the AR coating behavior in the plasma mirror regime.
An important aspect is related to the prospective to use the demonstrator for the future 10 PW ELI-NP facility, where ultra-relativistic regime (1023 - 1024 W/cm2) are expected to be generated.
The industrial partner has the ability to design and produce the supports for optical components capable of withstanding high power ultra-short laser pulses.
The generated results will be the subject of patents first, as the topic is of vanguard, and of publications in high impact journal.

Abstract:
This project aims to validate a novel concept into a potential free space optical communication (FSOC) technology
that allows to dramatically increase the volume of the transmitted information over a free space link by modulating
a particular class of laser beam configurations called optical vortices (OV). These appear as a result of reshaping
a laser Gaussian beam by a computer generated hologram and they carry orbital angular momentum an additional photon's
degree of freedom used for data encoding. Besides the high volume of information, this concept provides an intrinsic
secure character of the free space optical link without relying to the mathematical encryption of data. For accomplishing
this goal a consortium formed by National Institute for R&D in Microtechnologies (coordinator), SC Optoelectronica SA and
Politehnica University Bucharest will build and test a functional model of an optical vortices FSOC system, addressing
the specific topics realated to its realization: design and fabrication of efficient computer generated holograms,
innovative optical design and high performance electronic modules. The possible use of this potential FSOC technology
are in terrestrial and space applications requiring high volume data transmissions.
