Low-Temperature Bonding for Silicon-Based Micro-Optical Systems

  • Yiheng Qin,
  • Matiar M.R. Howlader and
  • M. Jamal Deen

15 December 2015

Silicon-based integrated systems are actively pursued for sensing and imaging applications. A major challenge to realize highly sensitive systems is the integration of electronic, optical, mechanical and fluidic, all on a common platform. Further, th...

Optical Characteristics of a Multichannel Hybrid Integrated Light Source for Ultra-High-Bandwidth Optical Interconnections

  • Takanori Shimizu,
  • Nobuaki Hatori,
  • Mitsuru Kurihara,
  • Yutaka Urino,
  • Tsuyoshi Yamamoto,
  • Takahiro Nakamura and
  • Yasuhiko Arakawa

25 November 2015

The optical characteristics of a multi-channel hybrid integrated light source were described for an optical interconnection with a bandwidth of over 10 Tbit/s. The power uniformity of the relative intensity of a 1000-channel light source was shown, a...

Transient Response of Organo-Metal-Halide Solar Cells Analyzed by Time-Resolved Current-Voltage Measurements

  • M. Greyson Christoforo,
  • Eric T. Hoke,
  • Michael D. McGehee and
  • Eva L. Unger

24 November 2015

The determination of the power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on organo-metal-halides is subject to an ongoing debate. As solar cell devices may exhibit very slow transient response, current-voltage scans in different directions may not b...

A Thermally Tunable 1 × 4 Channel Wavelength Demultiplexer Designed on a Low-Loss Si3N4 Waveguide Platform

  • Mohammed Shafiqul Hai,
  • Arne Leinse,
  • Theo Veenstra and
  • Odile Liboiron-Ladouceur

6 November 2015

A thermally tunable 1 × 4 channel optical demultiplexer was designed using an ultra low-loss Si3N4 (propagation loss ~3.1 dB/m) waveguide. The demultiplexer has three 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI), where each of the MZI contains two 2 × 2...

  • Gilles Patriarche,
  • Eric Le Bourhis,
  • Anatole Lupu,
  • Henri Benisty and
  • Anne Talneau

29 October 2015

Oxide-free bonding of III-V-based materials for integrated optics is demonstrated on both planar Silicon (Si) surfaces and nanostructured ones, using Silicon on Isolator (SOI) or Si substrates. The hybrid interface is characterized electrically and m...

Material Exchange Property of Organo Lead Halide Perovskite with Hole-Transporting Materials

  • Seigo Ito,
  • Shusaku Kanaya,
  • Hitoshi Nishino,
  • Tomokazu Umeyama and
  • Hiroshi Imahori

2 October 2015

Using X-ray diffraction (XRD), it was confirmed that the deposition of hole-transporting materials (HTM) on a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite layer changed the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystal, which was due to the material exchanging phenomena between the CH3NH...
