Infrared machine vision technologies such as liquid crystal-based beam steering and narrow-band dot pattern projectors have been introduced, and it is expected that products for the human vision spectrum in the visible range will appear soon. Furthermore, this technology is expanding into areas such as optical computing for edge detection and quantum metasurfaces.


 

Silicon photonics is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for scalable, energy-efficient, and high-speed data communication. A key trend is the tight integration of photonics with electronics using CMOS-compatible processes and advanced packaging technologies. To overcome the limitations of silicon, researchers are introducing heterogeneous materials—such as III-V semiconductors—onto silicon wafers. Additionally, new design approaches like inverse design and AI-assisted optimization are enabling compact and high-performance photonic components.

 

In optical interconnect applications, research is progressing at multiple levels. At the device level, efforts focus on low-power, high-speed modulators, detectors, and light sources to support bandwidth scaling based on multiple wavelengths. Link architectures are adopting advanced modulation formats like PAM and QAM to increase bandwidth efficiency. Packaging is shifting from traditional pluggable optics to co-packaged optics, bringing photonics closer to compute/memory dies for lower power and higher bandwidth density. System-level co-optimization between photonic devices and computing architectures is becoming increasingly important to ensure end-to-end performance gain.

 

Beyond communication, silicon photonics is expanding into sensing and computing. Applications such as on-chip biosensors, LiDAR, neuromorphic systems, and quantum computing highlight its versatility. With continuous innovation in materials, packaging, and design, silicon photonics is emerging not only as a communication enabler but as a transformative platform across multiple technology domains.

Meta-photonics​
Overview Overview Overview

Light is an electromagnetic wave that arises from the mutual interaction of time-varying electric and magnetic fields. The properties of such wave depend on the type and structure of the medium through which this wave passes. Meta-Photonics represents the study of new optical behaviors beyond conventional optical properties by developing a new space, constructed with various artificial nanostructures.​
​


 

"Meta," from Greek, means "beyond" and in the context of Meta-Photonics refers to artificial properties that do not exist naturally. These artificial structures can generate unusual but useful phenomena, unanticipated from naturally observed materials. Meta-Photonics is capable of controlling various optical properties such as the amplitude, phase, polarization as well as the wavelength in a sub-wavelength scale. Thanks to this ability, various fields, including sensors, displays, communication, energy, and biotechnology apply the Meta-Photonics usefully.​

Particulate matter (PMs), especially particles smaller than 2.5㎛, and precursor gases have detrimental effects on public health and semiconductor manufacturing processes. Additionally, as semiconductor circuits become smaller and more complex, managing airborne molecular contamination (AMC), which causes defects during manufacturing, is crucial for new semiconductor manufacturing facilities.​

Therefore, we aim to identify the critical issues of PMs and AMCs to provide technical solutions for society and boost business competitiveness. We are conducting research on (1) developing advanced air purification technologies to improve the surrounding air quality, (2) the formation of secondary particles from emission sources, and (3) AMC dispersion simulation to facilitate its prompt identification with Al techniques at a semiconductor FAB.​

CO2 Capture & Utilization (CCU)​ CO2 Capture & Utilization (CCU)​ CO2 Capture & Utilization (CCU)​

Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere has significantly increased due to human social activities. To relieve those concerns, diverse efforts to reduce CO2 emission have been made in all sectors of society. Carbon capture has been studied extensively as a technology to reduce carbon dioxide directly. Technologies such as absorption, adsorption and membranes have been studied mainly in academia, but the development of more effective and energy intensive technologies is necessary for sustainable future. 

In addition to the point-source CO2 capture technology deploying the large scale negative emissions technologies is vital. 

 

SAIT puts efforts, in materials and engineering perspectives, not only on the stationary CO2 capture but also on directly capturing CO2 from ambient air or direct air capture.

Meanwhile, post-treatment of captured CO2 is also important for generating a closed-loop of carbon; either utilization into value-added products or permanent storage. SAIT also paves a way for effective CO2 utilization with catalysts and electrochemical systems.

To mimic human olfaction, state-of-the-art technical innovations are currently being applied, such as materials that are sensitive and selective to various odors, sensor arrays, interface ICs, signal-processing blocks, and artificial neural networks (ANN) or neuromorphic classifiers.​

We aim to integrate all the related technologies for olfactory sensing. This includes developing materials that provide the beginning of a signal change in response to odor molecules, developing sensitive transducers, designing dedicated read-out ICs that digitize the analog responses of sensors, and preprocessing that removes unwanted signals. Using hundreds of multiarray sensors where all of these core technologies are integrated, we are aiming to enable affordable, robust odor recognition devices for commercial applications.​

This miniaturized olfactory sensor can make our lives safer by detecting our surroundings more accurately. Beyond the level of human olfaction, we ultimately want to benefit the world by innovating conventional disease diagnostic technologies.​
