Today's consumer electronics based on a large variety of time-keeping and frequency reference applications is based on quartz-crystal oscillators, because of their excellent performances in terms of quality factor, thermal and frequency stability. However, ...
A novel magnetic actuated polymer optical platform is integrated into lamellar grating and Michelson type Fourier transform spectrometers. The proposed advantages of the novel platform over existing approaches, such as MEMS spectrometers, or bulky FTIR sys ...
We propose an original concept for a sandwich immunoassay that is completely performed on-chip using streptavidin-coated beads as substrate. The latter are electrostatically self-assembled on aminosilane micropatterns at the bottom of a microfluidic channe ...
A modification to the standard Bayer CFA and photodiode structure for CMOS image sensors is proposed, which we call 2PFC™, meaning “Two Pixel, Full Color”. The blue and red filters of the Bayer pattern are replaced by magenta filters. Under each magenta fi ...
We report a 2-step approach to prepare tetragonal perovskite PbZr0.1Ti0.9O3 submicro/nano wires in gram scale and with over 95% wire content. Non-perovskite precursor wires were first fabricated by hydrothermal processing. A subsequent annealing in a PbO a ...
Physical impairments like IQ imbalance and phase noise can cause significant degradation in the performance of wireless communication systems. In this paper, the joint effects of IQ imbalance and phase noise on OFDM systems are analyzed, and a compensation ...
Nanowire superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs) [1] are characterized by very high sensitivity in the near infrared (detection efficiency η up to 30%, for a dark count rate DK of few Hz), speed (up to ∼1 GHz repetition rate) and time resolution (j ...
We present results on the single step fabrication of autocentered nanopillars with surrounding circular rim. This particular 3-dimensional shape is created by the energy density distribution of incident and backscattered electrons and reflects the dual beh ...
The invention of the integrated circuit and the manufacturing progress as well as continuing progress in the manufacturing process are the fundamental engines for the implementation of all technologies that support today's information society. The vast maj ...
