Polarization-Independent Mode-Evolution-Based Coupler for the Silicon-on-Insulator Platform

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We demonstrate a polarization-independent mode-evolution-based coupler for the silicon-on-insulator platform. The measured coupler has negligible insertion loss over a bandwidth of about 100 nm, i.e., from 1500 to 1600 nm.

Advances in Se Wide‐Bandgap Photovoltaics and TexSe1‐x SWIR Photodiodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this review, fundamental properties and current challenges in Se photovoltaics (PVs) for tandem and indoor PVs and TexSe1‐x alloys for short wave infrared photodiodes are discussed. A case is made for the practicality of elemental chalcogenide optoelectronics, and a pathway toward resolving the key challenges in these respective technologies is ...

NbN Broadband Plasmonic Absorbers for Efficient Hot‐Carrier Injection Toward Improved Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Fast Programming of in‐Plane Hyperbolic Phonon Polariton Optics through Van der Waals Crystals Using the Phase‐Change Material In3SbTe2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Launching structures for in‐plane hyperbolic polaritons in α‐MoO3 are optically programmed through already deposited flakes into the phase‐change material In3SbTe2. Precise alignment with the flake's crystal axes, focusing of polaritons by an optically programmed disk, and a first experimental realization toward a nanocavity for in‐plane hyperbolic ...
