Extraction of Elasto-Optic Coefficient of Thin Film Arsenic Trisulfide Using a Mach-Zehnder Acousto-Optic Modulator on Lithium Niobate
An acousto-Optic Modulator (AOM) formed by an Arsenic Trisulfide (As2S3) Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), operating in a push-pull configuration and placed inside a surface acoustic wave (SAW) cavity on a Y-cut Lithium Niobate (LN) wafer is demonstrated. This is the first demonstration of such...

Efficient arsenic trisulfide vertical grating coupler on lithium niobate for integrated photonic applications
An efficient vertical grating coupler design for arsenic trisulfide (As2S3) on silicon dioxide (SiO2) on lithium niobate (LN) is proposed, fabricated, and experimentally verified. We report 4 dB coupling efficiency per grating for vertical fiber coupling at a wavelength of 1550 nm with a 3 dB...

Efficient coupling to slow light photonic crystal waveguide
Slow light photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) have been the subject of intensive study due to their potential for on-chip applications such as optical buffers and the enhancement of nonlinear phenomenon. However, due to high group velocity mismatch between the strip waveguide and the slow light...

IEEE conference paper: Device Scaling Issues in GaN Based Double Heterojunction Field-Effect Transistor and Performance Analysis
The device performance of GaN based Double Heterojunction Field-Effect Transistor(DHFET) is largely de-pendent on device scaling issues. The authors’ simulation results show that a decrease in source–gate spacing can improve device performance, enhancing the device output current and the...
