    摘要: A mold with a protruding pattern is provided that is pressed into a thin polymer film via an imprinting process. Controlled connections between nanowires and microwires and other lithographically-made elements of electronic circuitry are provided. An imprint stamp is configured to form arrays of approximately parallel nanowires which have (1) micro dimensions in the X direction, (2) nano dimensions and nano spacing in the Y direction, and three or more distinct heights in the Z direction. The stamp thus formed can be used to connect specific individual nanowires to specific microscopic regions of microscopic wires or pads. The protruding pattern in the mold creates recesses in the thin polymer film, so the polymer layer acquires the reverse of the pattern on the mold. After the mold is removed, the film is processed such that the polymer pattern can be transferred on a metal/semiconductor pattern on the substrate.

    摘要: An optical resonator configured to be tuned using piezoelectric actuation, includes a core, the core being configured to transmit light; a piezoelectric layer; a first electrode and a second electrode. The piezoelectric layer is interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. A voltage difference across the first and second electrodes alters a geometric dimension of the piezoelectric layer such that physical force is applied to the core and a resonant optical frequency of the resonator is changed. A method of utilizing mechanical stress to tune an optical resonator includes applying physical force to the resonator by subjecting a piezoelectric material to an electric field, the physical force changing a resonant frequency of the resonator.
