Optical Modulator Using Channel Optical Waveguides and Planar Patch-Antennas with Gaps

open access: yesJurnal Elektronika dan Telekomunikasi, 2016
Optical modulator using channel optical waveguides and planar patch-antennas with gaps on ferroelectric optical crystals were proposed. Basic operations for receiving a wireless microwave signal and directly converting it to a lightwave signal were ...

An optical digital‐to‐analog converter with a built‐in intensity converter consisting of silicon waveguide

open access: yesIET Optoelectronics, 2023
Optical digital‐to‐analog converters (DACs) are key to overcoming the enormous power consumption caused by the slowdown of Moore's Law. In previous work, an optical DAC consisting of a signal generator and an intensity converter was presented.

Exceeding the solar cell Shockley-Queisser limit via thermal up-conversion of low-energy photons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Maximum efficiency of ideal single-junction photovoltaic (PV) cells is limited to 33% (for one sun illumination) by intrinsic losses such as band edge thermalization, radiative recombination, and inability to absorb below-bandgap photons.

67.5% Efficient InP-Based Laser Power Converters at 1470 nm at 77 K

open access: yesPhotonics
Recent developments in long wavelength and cryogenic laser power converters have unlocked record performances in both areas. Here, devices for an optical input at ~1470 nm are studied for cryogenic applications, combining these cryogenic and long ...

Techno-Economic Evaluation of Future Thermionic Generators for Small-Scale Concentrated Solar Power Systems

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Small-size concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are presently not diffused due to a too-high levelized cost of electricity (LCoE), contrarily to CSP plants with capacity >100 MW, which provide LCoE < 20 cEUR/kWh.

Gridless optical networking field trial: flexible spectrum switching, defragmentation and transport of 10G/40G/100G/555G over 620-km field fiber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present results from the first gridless networking field trial with flexible spectrum switching nodes and 620 km of installed fibre links. Signals at 10G, 12.25G, 42.7G, DP-QPSK 40G, DP-QPSK 100G and 555G are generated, successfully transported and ...

Hardware for digitally controlled scanned probe microscopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The design and implementation of a flexible and modular digital control and data acquisition system for scanned probe microscopes (SPMs) is presented. The measured performance of the system shows it to be capable of 14-bit data acquisition at a 100-kHz ...

Silicon-organic hybrid electro-optical devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organic materials combined with strongly guiding silicon waveguides open the route to highly efficient electro-optical devices. Modulators based on the so-called silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) platform have only recently shown frequency responses up to 100

Low input power wavelength converter using gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 2002
A wavelength converter based on direct optical modulation of lasing light in a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier (GC-SOA) is proposed. A low input power of −13.5 dBm, which is the lowest reported to the best of our knowledge, due to good coupling of input data power into the GC-SOA and high lasing threshold, and negative power penalty ...

Squeezing as an irreducible resource

open access: yes, 1999
We show that squeezing is an irreducible resource which remains invariant under transformations by linear optical elements. In particular, we give a decomposition of any optical circuit with linear input-output relations into a linear multiport ...
