Abstract:
An optical waveguide device includes a substrate; a lower cladding disposed on the substrate; a rib waveguide including a slab disposed on the lower cladding and a single rib disposed on the slab contiguous to the slab; and an upper cladding disposed on the rib waveguide. The rib waveguide includes a first doped region having a first electric conductivity exhibiting a P-type electric conductivity across the rib and the slab and a second doped region being contiguous to the first doped region and having a second electric conductivity exhibiting an N-type electric conductivity across the rib and the slab.
Abstract:
An optical circuit for sensing a biological entity in a fluid and a method of configuring an optical circuit for sensing a biological entity in a fluid are provided. The optical circuit includes a sensing arrangement including a reference arm having a reference waveguide and a sensing arm having a waveguide; wherein lengths of the reference waveguide and the waveguide are configured in accordance with a temperature dependency reduction criterion.
Abstract:
A memory device and method comprising a metal oxide material disposed between and in electrical contact with first and second conductive electrodes, and a voltage source configured to apply a plurality of voltage pulses spaced apart in time across the first and second electrodes. For each one of the voltage pulses, an amplitude of the voltage increases during the voltage pulse.
