Resonant Waveguide Gratings for Color-Selective Diffraction

Giorgio Quaranta

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...

Aperture-Coupled Low-Profile Wideband Patch Antennas for CubeSat

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

This communication presents the design and measurement results of aperture-coupled stripline-fed wideband patch antennas for nanosatellite applications. The low-profile requirements lead to a strong back radiation from the coupling aperture. Instead of sup ...

Multimode microwave circuit optomechanics as a platform to study coupled quantum harmonic oscillators

Nathan Rafaël Bernier

Harmonic oscillators might be one of the most fundamental entities described by physics. Yet they stay relevant in recent research. The topological properties associated with exceptional points that can occur when two modes interact have generated much int ...
