Continuing demands for increased computing efficiency and communication bandwidth have led to the development of novel technologies with the potential to outperform conventional electronic solutions. With the success of long-haul optical communications, photonic devices interconnect at the board,...
Modern communications systems utilize complex modulation schemes with high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Power Amplifiers that can handle high PAPR with improved efficiency at Output Power Back Off (OPBO) and good linearity over the output power range are needed for LTE 3G, 4G and 5G...
Advances in optoelectronics are often led by discovery and development of materials featuring unique properties. Recently, ultra-thin film (0.5 to 20 nm) materials have demonstrated great potential for applications in integrated photonics for on-chip communication. However, due to the limitation...
Monolayer graphene is well known for its high carrier mobility and low light absorption, which is ideal for the top and bottom layers material for tunneling heterjunctions. Moreover, by the Coulomb blockade effect there is only one carrier tunneling through the barrier per time, which enables the...
The development of graphene and the revolution in nanotechnology have sparked new interest in layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These TMDs were first studied in the 1960s, and because of their extensive material properties from semiconductors, metals to superconductors, they have...
The present work demonstrates the development of a miniaturized plasmonic platform based on Au nanohole arrays (NHAs). In this work, a sensing platform has been investigated including operation principles, numerical simulation, device fabrication, sensor functionalization, performance testing,...
