摘要: Electric ?elds can be effectively used to sense, manipulate, and move particles in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, the throughput of such devices is a critical issue, which can be effectively improved by increasing the height of the microchannels. For this purpose, vertical electrodes are needed in order to apply electrical stimuli homogeneously over the full height of the channel. In this paper, we propose different fabrication processes based on a conformal coating of 3-D SU-8 structures with metal layers, de?ning vertical electrodes in micro?uidic channels with high aspect ratio and uniform coating of the vertical sidewalls. We describe two different strategies to achieve the patterning of connection lines inside the gaps of the pillar electrodes—one based on liftoff and the other based on dry ?lm resist. We show how the liftoff approach allows for high connection densities and high resolution of the patterning inside the 3-D electrode arrays. Moreover, we highlight how the dry ?lm process provides an ef?cient and low-cost alternative when neither high-density patterning nor high resolution is needed. Standard resistive and impedance measurements show high conductivity of the structures whose fabrication process grants standard photolithographic resolution in the de?nition of the electrode features.

摘要: Reconfigurable architectures can bring unique capabilities to computational tasks. They offer the performance and energy efficiency of hardware with the flexibility of software. In some domains, they are the only way to achieve the required, real-time performance without fabricating custom integrated circuits. Their functionality can be upgraded and repaired during their operational lifecycle and specialized to the particular instance of a task. We survey the field of reconfigurable computing, providing a guide to the body-of-knowledge accumulated in architecture, compute models, tools, run-time reconfiguration, and applications.

摘要: We describe a novel iterative methodology for computing a set of low-sidelobe beamforming weights for an airborne, electronically-steered phased-array radar using an in-flight stochastic optimization routine performed over a number of coherent processing intervals (CPIs). The proposed approach is notable in that it does not rely upon a good antenna calibration and only requires digitization of the radar’s sum beam. By observing the radar ground clutter, the algorithm iteratively adjusts the beamformer. Furthermore, it is computationally inexpensive and scales favorably to radars comprising very large numbers of antenna elements and requiring extremely low sidelobes.

A solid-state integrated photo-supercapacitor based on ZnO nanorod arrays decorated with Ag <sub/>2</sub> S quantum dots as the photoanode and a PEDOT charge storage counter-electrode
摘要: A planar solid-state photocapacitor with two electrodes has been prepared for the first time using a passivated film of ZnS with Ag2S quantum dots deposited on ZnO nanorods, which were electrochemically grown on ZnO seed layers, as the photoanode. The supercapacitor part is composed of a electrodeposited poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene) PEDOT film as the counter-electrode and an ionic liquid-based electrolyte between them deposited by the dip coating method. The different nanostructures and electrodes were morphologically and structurally characterized, and the device was electrochemically characterized and could reach a potential of 0.33 V during photocharge and a storage efficiency of 6.83%.

CMOS-Compatible Optical Phased Array Powered by a Monolithically-Integrated Erbium Laser
摘要: An advanced CMOS-compatible 300-mm-wafer silicon-photonics platform is introduced that consists of a silicon layer with eight doping masks, two silicon-nitride layers, three metal and via layers, a dicing trench for smooth edge-coupled facets, and a gain-film trench that enables interaction between the gain material and waveguide layers. The platform was used to demonstrate an electrically-steerable integrated optical phased array powered by an on-chip erbium-doped laser. Lasing with a single-mode output, 30 dB side-mode-suppression ratio, and 40 mW lasing threshold was shown, and one-dimensional beam steering with a 0.85? × 0.20? full-width at half-maximum and 30?/W electrical steering efficiency was demonstrated. This system represents the first demonstration of a rare-earth-doped laser monolithically integrated with an active CMOS-compatible silicon-on-insulator photonics system.

Improved Phase Locking of Laser Arrays with Nonlinear Coupling
摘要: An arrangement based on a degenerate cavity laser for forming an array of nonlinearly coupled lasers with an intracavity saturable absorber is presented. More than 30 lasers were spatially phase locked and temporally Q switched. The arrangement with nonlinear coupling was found to be 25 times more sensitive to loss differences and converged five times faster to the lowest loss phase locked state than with linear coupling, thus providing a unique solution to problems that have several near-degenerate solutions.

摘要: Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been shown to provide high computational density and efficiency for many computing applications by allowing circuits to be customized to any application of interest. FPGAs also support programmability by allowing the circuit to be changed at a later time through reconfiguration. There is great interest in exploiting these benefits in space and other radiation environments. FPGAs, however, are very sensitive to radiation and great care must be taken to properly address the effects of radiation in FPGA-based systems. This paper will highlight the effects of radiation on FPGA-based systems and summarize the challenges in deploying FPGAs in such environments. Several well-known mitigation methods will be described and the unique ability of FPGAs to customize the system for improved reliability will be discussed. Finally, two case studies summarizing successful deployment of FPGAs in radiation environments will be presented.

Fabrication of gold nanorod arrays on a cylindrical surface of optical fibers by using in-situ electrodeposition
摘要: Optical fiber is an excellent light-coupled substrate, which has the characteristics of large a length-diameter ratio with a cylindrical surface. Recently, various methods have been reported in order to improve the ability of local optical fields. In particular, methods aimed to address the efficient coupling and optical resonances by modifying metal nanostructures on the light-coupled substrate have been developed. However, existing methods are largely applicable to planar or tip substrates, and it remains a significant challenge to prepare metal nanostructures on a cylindrical substrate. In this study, we proposed a novel strategy to fabricate gold nanorods arrays (AuNRs) by electrodepositing them in anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates on the cylindrical surface of optical fibers. Briefly, AAO templates were prepared in-situ by using a constant current density secondary oxidation method on the cylindrical surface of optical fibers, and then the AuNRs were in-situ deposited in the AAO templates by electrodeposition. The features of the AuNRs such as diameter, nanorod pitch, and height could be easily regulated by adjusting the parameters of electrodeposition and the anode oxidation. The SEM images demonstrates that AuNRs exhibit a satisfactory consistency with a uniform diameter and favorable self-supporting properties. The relationships between the current density, pore diameter and pore distribution were explored, combined with the voltage-time curve during anodic oxidation. Furthermore, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical properties of the AuNRs on the cylindrical surface were analyzed using the Finite-difference Time-domain Algorithm (FDTD) method. Results suggest that this alternative in-situ electrodeposition strategy has the potentials to be applied to SPR optical fiber sensing.

3D polarization-dependent waveguide arrays in LiNbO3 crystal produced by femtosecond laser writing
摘要: Waveguide arrays are basic photonic elements in integrated optics. We propose a 3D hybrid-integrated waveguide array based on the femtosecond laser writing of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystals by engineering the layout of laser-induced tracks. The cross section of the structure is a cross-shaped geometry. The light propagation through this waveguide array shows polarization-dependent behaviors, which enables mode-coupling along either the vertical or the horizontal direction under excitation of linearly polarized light. This work opens new way to produce polarization-dependent optical devices in photonic systems by using femtosecond laser writing of LiNbO3.

Self‐Assembled Gold Arrays that Allow Rectification by Nanoscale Selectivity
摘要: The deposition of a monolayer nanoarray on the surface of a micrometer-thick substrate is demonstrated, producing rectification characteristics at the nanoscale. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of the structure and the charge density are the two key factors affecting rectification, which was confirmed with molecular dynamic (MD) and finite element simulations. Moreover, by altering the asymmetric electrolyte environment, the fabricated heterogeneous membrane can be used in energy conversion. This study provides insights into the mechanism underlying the generation of rectification and related factors, providing a theoretical basis for the characteristics of rectification.
