For biomolecule sensing purposes a solid-state nanopore platform based on silicon has certain advantages as compared to nanopores on other substrates such as graphene, silicon nitride, silicon oxide etc Capitalizing on the developed CMOS technology, nanopo ...
Silicon transistor scaling is approaching its end and a transition to novel materials and device concepts is more than ever essential. High-mobility compound semiconductors are considered promising candidates to replace silicon, targeting low-power logic a ...
Powder additive pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm), with the aim of preparing AM of such material. The influence of oxygen content in the initial silicon powders on the continuous tracks morphology was investigated. It was found that the initial oxyg ...
Time-energy entangled photon pairs are fundamental resources for quantum communication protocols since they are robust against environmental fluctuations in optical fiber networks. Pair sources based on spontaneous four-wave mixing in silicon microring res ...
Artificial intelligence tasks across numerous applications require accelerators for fast and low-power execution. Optical computing systems may be able to meet these domain-specific needs but, despite half a century of research, general-purpose optical com ...
Progress in nanotechnology, including fabrication and characterization tools, opened up the unprecedented low dimensional materials era, where we can manipulate and structure matter on a size scale that we could not reach before. Due to many interesting pr ...
We report a strong Brillouin amplification in gas using hollow-core fibers, exceeding by 6 times the gain in solid silica fibers. A novel fiber laser using Brillouin lasing in gas has been demonstrated. ...
The theoretical temporal resolution limit tT of a silicon photodiode (Si PD) is 11.1 ps. We call “super temporal resolution” the temporal resolution that is shorter than that limit. To achieve this resolution, Germanium is selected as a candidate material ...
Quasi-phase-matching (QPM) has become one of the most common approaches for increasing the efficiency of nonlinear three-wave mixing processes in integrated photonic circuits. Here, we provide a study of dispersion engineering of QPM second-harmonic (SH) g ...
Weyl points in three-dimensional systems with certain symmetry carry non-Abelian topological charges, which can be transformed via non-trivial phase factors that arise upon braiding these points inside the reciprocal space. Weyl semimetals in three-dimensi ...
