Visible and Infrared Nanocrystal-Based Light Modulator with CMOS Compatible Bias Operation

Tunable Transmittance of Near-infrared and Visible Light in Reconstructed Nanocrystal-in-Glass Composite Films

The bonding arrangement in amorphous materials plays a dominant role in determining their electrochemical, optical and transport properties. However, it remains a challenge to manipulate amorphous structures in a controlled manner. Recently, scientists at the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) developed synthetic protocols for incorporating well-defined nanocrysta...

CMOS-compatible dual-output silicon modulator for analog signal processing.

A broadband, Mach-Zehnder-interferometer based silicon optical modulator is demonstrated, with an electrical bandwidth of 26 GHz and V(pi)L of 4 V.cm. The design of this modulator does not require epitaxial overgrowth and is therefore simpler to fabricate than previous devices with similar performance.

CMOS-compatible 2-bit optical spectral quantization scheme using a silicon-nanocrystal-based horizontal slot waveguide

All-optical analog-to-digital converters based on the third-order nonlinear effects in silicon waveguide are a promising candidate to overcome the limitation of electronic devices and are suitable for photonic integration. In this paper, a 2-bit optical spectral quantization scheme for on-chip all-optical analog-to-digital conversion is proposed. The proposed scheme is realized by filtering the...

Spin-Based CMOS-Compatible Devices

In the present work, the nonlinear equation of motion of Bernoulli-Euler beam is used for investigating the scalability of the shooting method. A parallel implementation of the complete process of computing the nonlinear frequency-response function is presented and its efficiency is studied. The process involves algebraic operations of sparse and dense matrices and also solutions of linear and ...
