Abstract:

We present an electro-optic (EO) switch with ultralow DC drift on a thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT) platform, even with SiO₂ cladding and without post-annealing processes. The flat V_π and EO responses have been measured across various driving frequencies, input optical powers, and temperatures. Stable optical switching is achievable in the low-frequency range. The experiment also demonstrated superior long-term stability (up to 2 h) compared to thin-film lithium niobate optical switches under similar on-chip optical power conditions (around -8 dBm).

Biasing of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions

Biasing of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions

Biasing metal-semiconductor junctions involves applying a voltage across the junction. Specifically, the metal is connected to a voltage source, while the semiconductor is grounded. This technique is essential for controlling the direction and magnitude of current flow in electronic devices, including diodes, transistors, and photovoltaic cells.
In Schottky junctions, where the semiconductor is n-type, applying a positive voltage to the metal relative to the semiconductor reduces its Fermi...

Biasing of FET

Biasing of FET

Biasing a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) is crucial for setting operational parameters and ensuring efficient functioning in electronic circuits. JFETs are characterized by using a single carrier type in N-channel or P-channel configurations, where the channel is surrounded by PN junctions. These junctions are central to the device's ability to control current flow.
In an N-channel JFET, the structure consists of N-type material forming the channel on a P-type substrate, with the...
