I often wonder if there is something beyond our grasp and perhaps “other-worldly” about elemental Silicon (Si), which is the primary material for most ICs and discrete semiconductors work. Yes, there ...

(Nanowerk News) Chip-scale silicon photonics optical phased array (OPA) is widely used in free-space communication. However, due to the limitation of optical device design and manufacture, the ...

Optical delay lines are critical for true time-delay beamforming in phased array systems, enabling precise control of signal arrival times across antenna elements to steer beams without ...

This compact technique could be used for augmented reality, trapped ion quantum computers and optogenetic neural stimulator. Beam steering systems have been used for many years for applications such ...
