Several physical quantities of interest are of quantum nature, often measurable as distinct particles. Light is one such example, photons being its particles. In conventional detectors, light is converted onto electrical charges and hence onto a current or ...
We review the most important fabrication techniques for glass and plastic refractive microlenses and we quantitatively characterize in a systematic way the corresponding state-of-the-art microlenses, which we obtained from selected research groups. For all ...
Supplementing a lattice with long-range connections effectively models small-world networks characterized by a high local and global interconnectedness observed in systems ranging from society to the brain. If the links have a wiring cost associated with t ...
One of the biggest challenges that are facing the Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI) technologies today is the significant performance gap (3× to 9×) between full custom circuits and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) designed in the ...
In a simultaneous experiment we studied the de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) and the Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) effects in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in a modulation-doped GaAs∕AlxGa1−xAs heterostructure. For this, a gated 2DES mesa was monolithically ...
This paper reports on the encapsulation of a piezoresistive silicon/Pyrex liquid flow sensor using metal to glass anodic bonding. The bonding technique allowed integrating robust metallic microfluidic interconnects and eliminating the use of glue and O-rin ...
We present a novel optical sensor concept that merges integrated optics and micro-mechanics in a monolithic substrate. This concept pushes microsystems integration and defines a new class of monolithic optical microsystems where only optical signals are pr ...
LTCC technology is based on sintering of multi-layered thick-film sheets (50-250 µm) or so-called green tapes, which are screen-printed with thick-film pastes such as conductors, resistors, etc. The terms low temperature and co-fired originate from the rel ...
This paper presents a fully integrated remotely powered and addressable radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder working at 2.45 GHz. The achieved operating range at 4 W effective isotropically radiated power (EIRP) base-station transmit power is ...
