Integrated Magnetic-free Nitride Optical Isolator

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Rui Ning Wang, Jijun He, Anat Siddharth, Terence Albert Emile Blésin

We demonstrated an integrated magnetic-free optical isolator for Si3N4 photonics using AlN piezoelectric actuators via spatio-temporal modulation. By entering into the strong mode coupling regime, maximum of 9dB isolation and

Statically and dynamically balanced oscillator based on Watt's linkage

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

We present a new mechanical oscillator architecture that can be made insensitive to linear and angular accelerations while keeping constant oscillation frequency. The oscillator has the kinematics of a Watt linkage, so we call it a Watt oscillator. In orde ...

Development and integration of high straightness flexure guiding mechanisms dedicated to the METAS watt balance Mark II

Reymond Clavel, Florent Cosandier

There is a firm will in the metrology community to redefine the kilogram in the International System of units by linking it to a fundamental physical constant. The watt balance is a promising way to link the mass unit to the Planck constant h. At the Feder ...

ZnO Transparent conductive oxide for thin film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Sylvain Nicolay, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Andrea Feltrin, Grégory Bugnon, Sylvie Faÿ, Peter Cuony

There is general agreement that the future production of electric energy has to be renewable and sustainable in the long term. Photovoltaic (PV) is booming with more than 7GW produced in 2008 and will therefore play an important role in the future electric ...

Recent Advances in Sensitized Mesoscopic Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel

Perhaps the largest challenge for our global society is to find ways to replace the slowly but inevitably vanishing fossil fuel supplies by renewable resources and, at the same time, avoid negative effects from the current energy system on climate, environ ...

Submicrometer Hall devices fabricated by focused electron-beam-induced deposition

Jürgen Brugger, Niels Quack, Giovanni Boero, Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Radivoje Popovic, Pavel Kejik, Schahrazede-Lila Mouaziz, Tristan Bret

Hall devices having an active area of about (500 nm)(2) are fabricated by focused electron-beam-induced deposition. The deposited material consists of cobalt nanoparticles in a carbonaceous matrix. The realized devices have, at room temperature, a current ...
