2025

Abstract

Photonic integrated circuit waveguide amplifier fabrication method comprising providing at least one support cladding material or layer supporting at least one silicon nitride material or layer and/or at least one embedding cladding material or layer comprising the at least one silicon nitride material or layer embedded inside the at least one embedding cladding material or layer; wherein the at least one silicon nitride material or layer (has a material or layer thickness that is less than or equal to 400nm and greater than or equal to 40nm; and carrying out rare-earth ion implantation, at rare-earth ion acceleration values between 0.01 mev and 0.5 mev, by ion irradiation of at least one surface of the at least one supported and/or embedded silicon nitride material or layer, the at least one rare-earth ion implanted silicon nitride material or layer defining a waveguide core of the waveguide amplifier.

Transport layer

In computer networking, the transport layer is a conceptual division of methods in the layered architecture of protocols in the network stack in the Internet protocol suite and the OSI model. The protocols of this layer provide end-to-end communication services for applications. It provides services such as connection-oriented communication, reliability, flow control, and multiplexing. The details of implementation and semantics of the transport layer of the Internet protocol suite, which is the foundation of the Internet, and the OSI model of general networking are different.

Silicon carbide

Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum (ˌkɑrbəˈrʌndəm), is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. A semiconductor, it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite, but has been mass-produced as a powder and crystal since 1893 for use as an abrasive. Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes, car clutches and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests.

Boundary layer thickness

This page describes some of the parameters used to characterize the thickness and shape of boundary layers formed by fluid flowing along a solid surface. The defining characteristic of boundary layer flow is that at the solid walls, the fluid's velocity is reduced to zero. The boundary layer refers to the thin transition layer between the wall and the bulk fluid flow. The boundary layer concept was originally developed by Ludwig Prandtl and is broadly classified into two types, bounded and unbounded.
