Low-cost, high-quality single-layer photonic crystal structure

LOW-COST, HIGH-QUALITY SINGLE-LAYER PHOTONIC CRYSTAL STRUCTURE

Tech for Transfer

TTO

17-12-2015

This invention provides a new method of forming a single-layer photonic crystal structure. It includes a depositing electrophoretic suspension and two separated electrodes formed at the upper and lower parts of a container. An electric voltage is applied to the electrodes to form an electric field, such that particles in the electrophoretic suspension will form a single-layer photonic crystal structure on one of the electrodes by an electrophoresis self-assembly technique. The single-layer photonic crystal structure has a low cost, good quality and recurring property.

High bandwidth graphene photodetector

HIGH BANDWIDTH GRAPHENE PHOTODETECTOR

Tech for Transfer

TTO

16-01-2016

This technology involves a device for coupling light into graphene using a planar photonic crystal with a resonant cavity and evanescent coupling.
