SuperQ Technologies has successfully completed Superconducting Tc measurements of our Niobium based films for Single Photon Detector. Additionally they have successfully fabricated the pilot cryostat for SNSPD devices - First cryogenic system for SNSPD in India. SuperQ has filed 5 Patents and 2 Patents are in progress.
Cablesmith currently being supported under the INUP-i2i programme (a MeitY initiative) has secured a significant victory in Elevate 2023, an initiative by the Department of Electronics, IT, BT, and S&T, Government of Karnataka. Their innovative work was recognized in the telecommunication infrastructure sector.
SuperQ Technologies, an incubatee with INCeNSE and currently being supported under the INUP-i2i programme (a MeitY initiative) has been awarded the Digital Communication Innovation Scheme 2023 Award from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for the development of a superconducting single photon detector.
Dr. Nagendra Nagraja, CEO of SuperQ was felicitated by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon'ble Minister for Railways, Communications, Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India on 3rd July 2023.
The customized MEMS pressure transducer was specially designed, developed, fabricated, characterized, and packaged at CeNSE IISc through INUP - i2i programme using MeitY funded Nanofabrication facility, Micro Nano Characterization facility, as well MEMS Packaging Facility.
The timely support of the customized MEMS pressure transducer of the 0-65 Bar range has indeed helped Bellatrix Aerospace make the ISRO PSLV mission possible.
The team at CeNSE is happy to share that all tests with the Hall Thruster payload have been successfully passed.
Dr. Vasu Pulijala, Assistant Professor at Centre for VLSI and Nanotechnology, VNIT Nagpur, has filed for two patents and has one publication on the basis of work carried out by him at IISc under INUP. The details of the patents and publication are as follows:
The communication from Dr. Vasu Pulijala thanking INUP/CEN team at IISc says "With the help of INUP we were able to fabricate a completely on-chip EPR sensor for the first time. This resulted in a publication and two patents. We are grateful to the entire team in helping us fabricate and characterize the device. We are working further to commercialize this device."
Renil Kumar, Research Scholar fron SSN College of Engineering, Tamilnadu, is executing his research project at CEN facility on IISc Campus under INUP. His work on "Widely tunable multi wavelength channel drop filter on (110) oriented SOI wafer by anisotropic wet etching" has won him the best student paper award in the Conference session on Silicon Photonics & Integrated Optics SPIE Photonics Europe 2010 conference held in Brussels from April 12-16,2010. This is an INSPEC listed and indexed conference. The conference had 19 simultaneous conference sessions and from each of this session they have identified one best student paper. His work competed with 24 other poster papers from Italy, France, US, China etc in the same session which had a total of 74 papers. Photonics Europe onsite news page (Wednesday) giving listing of the award winners now displays the name of Sivasubramaniya Nadar College(the parent institute of the participant) among some of the other top ranking universities in the field of Photonics like Stanford, Technical University Denmark, Ecole Poly Technique etc. The award carries a prize money of 50 Euros, free 1 year SPIE student membership and 50 free downloads from SPIE Digital Library.
News on Photonics West EuropeN. Ramakrishnan, research Scholar from IIT, Guwahati, filed a patent on the basis of work carried out by him at IISc under INUP. The details of the patent are-- N. Ramakrishnan, Harshal B. Nemade, Roy Paily Palathinkal, "High aspect ratio resonant structures in surface acoustic wave devices" Indian Patent Filed (No: 822/KOL/2009).
The communication from Ramakrishnan thanking INUP/CEN team at IISc says "We are quite successful with the work carried out under INUP at CEN. I am highly thankful for the same. The results are highly contributing to my PhD thesis. Presently the work carried under INUP contributed to one of our patent filed."
Mr.Renil Kumar Research Scholar from SSN College of Engineering has won the Photonics 2004 Endowment Award for his paper entitlied "Low loss optical channel drop filters based on high contrast si/air photonic crystals by wet anisotropic etching",in the post Photonics 2010 international conference on fiber optics and photonics held at IIT Guwahati in December 2010. His paper has won the best device oriented paper award in the post Photonics 2010.
Mr.Renil Kumar has Executed the device Fabrication at CEN facility on IISc Campus under INUP.
Photonics 2004 Endowment Prize is instituted by International School of Photonics, CUSAT and NeST Photonics, Cochin for the best device-based paper presented in the Oral/Poster session of the Photonics Conference held once in every two years in India.
