摘要: The disclosed technology generally relates to characterization of semiconductor structures, and more particularly to optical characterization of high-k dielectric materials. A method includes providing a semiconductor structure comprising a semiconductor and a high-k dielectric layer formed over the semiconductor, wherein the dielectric layer has electron traps formed therein. The method additionally includes at least partially transmitting an incident light having an incident energy through the high-k dielectric layer and at least partially absorbing the incident light in the semiconductor. The method additionally includes measuring a nonlinear optical spectrum resulting from the light having the energy different from the incident energy, the nonlinear optical spectrum having a first region and a second region, wherein the first region changes at a different rate in intensity compared to the second region. The method further includes determining from the nonlinear optical spectrum one or both of a first time constant from the first region and a second time constant from the second region, and determining a trap density in the high-k dielectric layer based on the one or both of the first time constant and the second time constant.

摘要: A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom is provided. Power transmitters can be coordinated as a phased array and the power generated by the phased array is transmitted to one or more power receivers to achieve remote wireless power generation and delivery. In many embodiments, a reference signal is distributed within the space-based solar power station to coordinate the phased array. In several embodiments, determinations of the relative locations of the antennas in the array are utilized to evaluate the phase shift and/or amplitude modulation to apply the reference signal at each power transmitter.

摘要: A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom, and/or compactible structures and deployment mechanisms used to form and deploy such satellite modules and power generation tiles associated therewith are provided. Each satellite module and/or power generation tile may be formed of a compactable structure and deployment mechanism capable of reducing the payload area required to deliver the satellite module to an orbital formation within the space-based solar power station and reliably deploy it once in orbit.

摘要: Luminescent solar concentrators in accordance with various embodiments of the invention can be designed to minimize photon thermalization losses and incomplete light trapping using various components and techniques. Cadmium selenide core, cadmium sulfide shell (CdSe/CdS) quantum dot (“QD”) technology can be implemented in such devices to allow for near-unity QDs and sufficiently large Stokes shifts. Many embodiments of the invention include a luminescent solar concentrator that incorporates CdSe/CdS quantum dot luminophores. In further embodiments, anisotropic luminophore emission can be implemented through metasurface/plasmonic antenna coupling. In several embodiments, red-shifted luminophores are implemented. Additionally, top and bottom spectrally-selective filters, such as but not limited to selectively-reflective metasurface mirrors and polymeric stack filters, can be implemented to enhance the photon collection efficiency. In some embodiments, luminescent solar concentrator component is optically connected in tandem with a planar Si subcell, forming a micro-optical tandem luminescent solar concentrator.

摘要: Narrowband light filters, and methods of manufacturing such light filters, are provided. A narrowband light filter may include at least two electrically conductive bodies, an electrically conductive thin film layer disposed between the at least two electrically conductive bodies, at least one protective oxide layer disposed on the thin film layer and electrically conductive bodies, and at least one slit disposed through the electrically conductive thin layer. In various embodiments, the electrically conductive bodies give the narrowband light filter a mirrored structure in exemplary embodiments of the invention. The narrowband filters may also include one or more slits. Multiple slits may be configured to make the narrowband filtration polarization-independent. A plurality of narrowband light filters may be configured into pixel arrays. Pixel arrays may also be used in multispectral or hyperspectral imaging apparatus and techniques.

摘要: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention implement electrically tunable metasurfaces. In one embodiment, an electrically tunable metasurface reflectarray includes: a mirrored surface; a conductive layer; a dielectric layer; where the conductive layer and the dielectric layer are in direct contact, and thereby define a conductor-dielectric interface; a plurality of subwavelength antenna elements; and an electrical power source configured to establish a potential difference between at least one subwavelength antenna element and the mirrored surface; where a potential difference between a subwavelength antenna element and the mirrored surface applies an electric field to a corresponding region of the electrically tunable metasurface reflectarray; where any applied electric fields in conjunction with the geometry and the material composition of each of the subwavelength antenna elements, the conductive layer, and the dielectric layer, enable the electrically tunable metasurface reflectarray to measurably augment the propagation characteristics of incident electromagnetic waves.

摘要: A device for color imaging including an optical sensor having light sensitive pixels with a metal film disposed over the light sensitive pixels. The metal film has a group of nano-holes arranged over the pixels according to a periodic lattice formation and is configured to pass light of a preselected first range of wavelengths. The group of nano-holes arranged over an adjoining group of pixels is configured to pass light having ranges of wavelengths different from the first range of wavelengths.
