A silicon micromachined waveguide on-chip sensor for J-band (220-325 GHz) is presented. The sensor is based on a micromachined cavity resonator provided with an aperture in the top side of a hollow waveguide for sensing purposes. The waveguide is realized by microfabrication in a silicon wafer, gold metallized and assembled by thermocompression bonding. The sensor is used for measuring the comp...

We report on the experimental demonstration of detuned-resonator induced transparency in the near-infrared (~800 nm) using two detuned racetrack resonators side-coupled to a bus waveguide. Both resonators and the bus waveguide are in the form of dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides. Leakage radiation microscopy imaging is employed to measure transmission spectra, featuring loc...

We demonstrate the simultaneous optical manipulation and analysis of microscale particles in a microfluidic channel. Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in dielectric microspheres are excited using the evanescent field from a silicon nitride waveguide. A supercontinuum source is used to both trap the microspheres to the surface of the waveguide and excite their resonant modes. All measurements are ...

At the ultra-high frequencies (UHF) common to portable radios, the mine tunnel acts as a dielectric waveguide, directing and absorbing energy as a radio signal propagates. Understanding radio propagation behavior in a dielectric waveguide is critical for designing reliable, optimized communication systems in an underground mine. One of the major parameters used to predict the power attenuation ...

A radial line slot antenna (RLSA) in Fig.1 is a high-gain, high-efficiency and low-cost planer antenna, which was originally proposed for satellite TV reception at 12GHz band [1]. Recently this antenna has been designed for a space solar power system (SSPS) [2],[3]. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the slow-wave factor and the aperture efficiency. The slow-wave factor ξ is defined as ξ=λ...

For V-band applications, this paper presents a fully embedded multi-layer dielectric waveguide filter (DWGF) with very low insertion loss and small size, which does not need any more assemblies such as flip-chip bonding and bond wires. The top and bottom plane are grounded, and therefore, although we make a metal housing, there will be no resonance occurrences. Especially, the proposed structur...
