Abstract:
A compact seven-channel hybrid mode- and polarization-division multiplexer based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform is proposed for on-chip optical interconnects. Three independent signals are coupled into the TE0, TM0, and TE1 mode of a three moded waveguide using a taper, a polarization beam splitter, and an asymmetric directional coupler in the first coupler section. In the adiabatically connected second and third sections, two collocated asymmetric directional couplers are used to couple two TE modes (TE2, TE3) and two TM modes (TM1, TM2) to reduce the footprint of the device. A coupling length of ∼44.29µm is achieved with low insertion loss <0.09dB and crosstalk better than -30dB at the designed wavelength of 1.55 µm.

MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...

In the first circuit, all machine voltage sources are short-circuited, leaving only the prefault voltage source at the fault location. The positive-sequence bus impedance matrix can be determined by solving the nodal equations,...

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
