    摘要: A microring resonator and methods critically couple a microring waveguide to an adjacent bus waveguide. A method of determining parameters of a critically coupled microring resonator includes modeling a coupled portion of the microring resonator as a U-shaped waveguide spaced apart from a straight waveguide by a gap and selecting a straight waveguide width and a gap size to optimize an output coupling ratio between the U-shaped waveguide and the straight waveguide. A method of producing the microring resonator includes using the determined parameters to produce, and a critically coupled microring resonator includes, a ring-shaped or microring waveguide spaced from the bus waveguide by a gap.

    摘要: An angle sensor, system and method employ a guided-mode resonance. The angle sensor includes a guided-mode resonance (GMR) grating and a resonance processor. The resonance processor determines an angle of incidence of a signal incident on the GMR grating. The resonance processor uses a guided-mode resonance response of the GMR grating to the signal to determine the angle of incidence. The angle sensing system includes the GMR grating, the resonance processor and further includes an optical source that produces the signal. The method includes providing a GMR grating, detecting a guided-mode resonance produced in the GMR grating when subjected to an incident signal, and determining an angle of incidence of the incident signal from one or both of a number of and a spectral distance between guided-mode resonances present in a response of the GMR grating to the incident signal.

    摘要: A light emitting diode (100 or 150) includes a diode structure containing a quantum well (120), an enhancement layer (142), and a barrier layer (144 or 148) between the enhancement layer (142) and the quantum well (120). The enhancement layer (142) supports plasmon oscillations at a frequency that couples to photons produced by combination of electrons and holes in the quantum well (120). The barrier layer serves to block diffusion between the enhancement layer (142) and the diode structure.
