Photonic crystals are periodic dielectric structures having periodicity of the order of the wavelength. Consequently, they offer the ability to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a similar way as the periodic potential aspects the electron ...

Photonic crystals are stuctures in which the refractive index varies periodically on the wavelength scale in one, two or three dimensions. Due to interference effects, these structures can forbid light propagation over a large spectral range called "the ph ...
For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...
Femtosecond laser manufacturing combined with chemical etching has recently emerged as a flexible platform for fabricating three-dimensional devices and integrated optical elements in glass substrates. Here, we demonstrate an optically transparent micro-ac ...
We report on the micro-fabrication and characterization of a chip-scale plasma light source based on a Rubidium (Rb) vapor cell. The Rb plasma light source is intended for use as an integrated optical pump-light source in miniature double-resonance Rb atom ...
Nanowire crossbar circuits are an emerging architectural paradigm that promises a higher integration density and an improved fault-tolerance due to its reconfigurability. In this paper, we propose for the first time the utilization of the multi-spacer patt ...
Micro- and nano-optical structures offer the possibility to control light on a wavelength scale. This allows further miniaturization of integrated optical circuits. Planar photonic crystal waveguides and microcavities are considered basic building blocks f ...
Research on Networks on Chips (NoCs) has spanned over a decade and its results are now visible in some products. Thus the seminal idea of using networking technology to address the chip-level interconnect problem has been shown to be correct. Moreover, as ...
Capillary fluidic self-assembly (SA) intrinsically features massively-parallel, contactless die handling and allows for high-precision die placement. It may thus boost die-to-substrate assembly throughput and scalability. Here we characterize for the first ...
In this paper we propose to eliminate all data and control pads generally present in conventional chips and to replace them with a new type of ultra-compact, low power optical interconnect implemented almost entirely in CMOS. The proposed scheme enables en ...
