Extremely short-length surface plasmon resonance sensors [PDF]
The impact of the system design on the control of coupling between planar waveguide modes and surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) is analyzed. We examine how the efficiency of the coupling can be enhanced by an appropriate dimensioning of a multi-layer ...

Increased Endurance of Nonvolatile Photonics Enabled by Nanostructured Phase‐Change Materials
Tapered and segmented islands of the phase‐change material (PCM) antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) integrated on silicon microring resonators enable ultra‐low‐loss, high‐endurance, non‐volatile photonic tuning. The nanostructured PCM design suppresses interfacial scattering and thermal stress, achieving record endurance over 100 million electrical switching ...

Analysis of the Tuning Sensitivity of Silicon-on-Insulator Optical Ring Resonators [PDF]
High-quality-factor optical ring resonators have recently been fabricated in thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Practical applications of such devices will require careful tuning of the precise location of the resonance peaks.

Curved terahertz surface plasmonic waveguide devices
Strongly confined surface waves can be achieved on periodically structured metal surfaces and are known as spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). In this work, several terahertz SPP devices based on curved waveguides are demonstrated. The transmittance and bending loss of 90-degree curved spoof SPP waveguides with a radius of curvature ranging from ...

Microwave Absorption for Detection of Dirac Fermions in SnTe Films
Microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions in samples exposed to the atmosphere. Results showed that although topological surface states are robust against environmental degradation, they are not detectable by electrical transport measurements. Hence, microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions even in samples whose surfaces have deteriorated ...

Demonstration of Mode-Evolutional Multiplexer for Few-Mode Fibers Using Stacked Polymer Waveguide
Mode-evolutional multi/demultiplexer for few-mode fibers was demonstrated using stacked polymer waveguides. Owing to the stacked structure, TE00, TE10, and TE01 modes, which correspond to LP01, LPeven11 , and LPodd 11 modes, respectively, were ...

Mechanical Stress Evolution in Polycrystalline Ge Thin Films Under MeV Ion Irradiation
Irradiation of polycrystalline Ge thin films with 1.8 MeV Au ions alters residual stress through defect generation and lattice expansion. Increasing fluence drives progressive lattice disorder and eventual amorphization. Polycrystalline Ge resists amorphization longer than crystalline Ge, as grain boundaries facilitate defect diffusion, significantly ...

Spectral Engineering With CMOS Compatible SOI Photonic Molecules
Photonic systems based on microring resonators have a fundamental constraint given by the strict relationship among free spectral range, total quality factor QT , and resonator size, intrinsically making filter spacing, photonic lifetime, and footprint ...
