Abstract: Structures for a polarizer and methods of fabricating a structure for a polarizer. A waveguide crossing includes a first arm and a second arm. A waveguide loop couples the first arm of the waveguide crossing to the second arm of the waveguide crossing. The waveguide crossing and the waveguide loop provide a structure for the polarizer.

Abstract: In this work is presented a method for fabrication of high-aspect ratio structures through spalling effect. The spalling is achieved through lithography, etching and sputtering processes, thus providing the flexibility to position the spalled structures according to the application requirements. This method has been successfully demonstrated for metal-oxides and metals. The width of the fabricated structures is dependent on the thickness of the film deposited by sputtering, where structures as small as 20 nm in width have been obtained.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of using one or more memristors as a radiation sensor are enabled. A memristor can be attractive as a sensor due to its passive low power characteristics. Medical and environment monitoring are contemplated use cases. Sensing radiation as part of a security system (at an airport for example) and screening food for radiation exposure are also possible uses. The memristor as a radiation sensor may possibly provide an inexpensive and easy alternative to personal thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). Memristor devices with high current and low power operation may be attached with wearable plastic substrates. An example device includes two metal strips with a 50 μm thick layer of TiO2 memristor material. The device may be made large relative to traditional memristors which are nanometers in scale but its increased thickness can significantly increase the probability of radiation interaction with the memristor material.

Abstract: Structures for an optical coupler and methods of fabricating a structure for an optical coupler. A first waveguide core has a first tapered section and a second waveguide core has a second tapered section positioned adjacent to the first tapered section. The first tapered section has a first shape determined by a first non-linear function, and the second tapered section has a second shape determined by a second non-linear function.

Abstract: Structures for a waveguide crossing and methods of fabricating a structure for a waveguide crossing. A waveguide crossing includes a central section and an arm positioned between a waveguide core and the central section. The arm and the waveguide core are aligned along a longitudinal axis. The arm is coupled to the waveguide core at a first interface, and the arm is coupled to a portion of the central section at a second interface. The arm has a first width at the first interface, a second width at the second interface, and a third width between the first interface and the second interface. The third width is greater than either the first width or the second width.
