This semiconductor device includes a p-n junction structure formed of a semiconductor material, wherein the p-n junction structure is configured such that at least one side of the p-n junction (p-side or n-side) is spatially confined in at least one dimension of the device (e.g., the direction perpendicular to the p-n junction interface). Moreover, at least one side of the p-n junction (p-side or n-side) is heavily doped. The semiconductor device also includes electrical contacts formed on a semiconductor substrate to apply an electrical bias to the p-n junction to activate the optical response at target optical wavelength corresponds to an energy substantially equal to or less than the energy band-gap of the first semiconductor material.

    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for implementing ultrasonic communications in an integrated circuit. In one aspect, the disclosed technology integrates piezoelectric and electrostatic actuator arrays into IC chips to form sonar arrays that transmit from one location in chip to another, which can allows for tunable sonic communication links between any two points. For example, the sonar elements can also be used to transmit signals from one chip to another through a common substrate, while making use of the frequency- selective nature of acoustic transducers and waveguides to communicate to multiple receivers over different frequency bands at the same time, e.g., via frequency division multiplexing.

The actuator can be a lever configured to expose the analyte sensor and advance the lancet into position with a single motion (e.g., pulling the lever). The actuator also preferably operates to cock a hammer in preparation for lancing a body member to draw a blood sample. The mechanism can be a linkage coupled with the actuator and configured to engage the analyte sensor and lancet.

    Abstract: Methods, circuits and systems are provides to produce a bipolar signal across a load from two or more unipolar signals. In a circuit that includes a first and a second energy source, as well as a first and a second photonic switch, a first unipolar signal is generated from a first current flow across the load upon activation of the first switch. A second unipolar signal is generated from a second current flow across the load upon activation of the second switch. The bipolar signal with any desired spectral and amplitude characteristics is produced across the load by controlling the relative delay between the activation of the first and second photonic switches. Spectral content and shape of the bipolar signal can be adjusted by controlling the current flows from the one or more energy sources through, for example, modulation of the optical beams incident on the photonic switches.
