    Abstract: Structures including an optical component and methods of fabricating a structure including an optical component. The structure includes a substrate, an optical component including a waveguide core, and a back-end-of-line stack including a heat spreader layer. The optical component is positioned in a vertical direction between the substrate and the back-end-of-line stack. The waveguide core contains a first material having a first thermal conductivity, and the heat spreader layer contains a second material having a second thermal conductivity that is greater than the first thermal conductivity of the first material.

    Abstract: An illustrative system disclosed herein includes a conductive probe that is adapted to hold a quantity of mercury, wherein the conductive probe includes a conductive body with an outlet and a mercury control system adapted to supply mercury to the conductive probe. In this example, the system also includes an image sensor that is adapted to obtain an image of a mercury droplet positioned on a surface of a material and a measurement system that is adapted to receive the image of the mercury droplet and calculate a contact area between the mercury droplet and the surface of the material based upon the image of the mercury droplet.
