摘要:
A plasmonic phase modulator is provided. The modulator has a conductive layer, and a dielectric layer disposed on the conductive layer. A plasmonic layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. A plasmonic layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. The plasmonic layer is conductive to surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves. The plasmonic layer may be, for example, a graphene sheet. A voltage signal source is operatively connected between the conductive layer and the plasmonic layer for modulating a propagation speed of an SPP wave propagating on the plasmonic layer.
摘要:
The present invention provides systems and methods for non-destructively detecting material abnormalities beneath a coated surface, comprising a mid-infrared (MIR) detection unit for illuminating an area of the coated surface and detecting light reflected from the illuminated area of the coated surface, and a processing unit for producing an image from optical characteristics received from the MIR detection unit. In addition, the system may further comprise a scanning unit for moving the MIR detection unit to a next area.
