Multiple-layer perovskite Pb0.91La0.09Zr0.65Ti0.35O3/SrTiO3 (PLZT/STO) heterostructures have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (001) MgO/GaAs substrates. The perovskite layers are single phase with 35nm RMS roughness on the top surface. Electrically induced birefringence in the PLZT layers, resulted in both optical phase and optical amplitude modulation. The application of an elect...

Converting light energy to electrical energy in photovoltaic devices relies on the photogenerated electrons and holes separated by the built-in potential in semiconductors. Photo-excited electrons in metal electrodes are usually not considered in this process. Here, we report an enhanced photovoltaic effect in the ferroelectric lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) by using low work...

Lanthanum substituted lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) nanocrystallite with stichometry formula Pb0.90La0.10 (Zr0.52Ti0.48) O3 have been synthesized by sol gel process. The effect of nanocrystallite on dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of La substituted PZT was studied. The average crystallite size of the PLZT powder was 21nm.Variation of dielectric constant with temperature ...

This paper proposes a scalable active optical access network using high-speed Plumbum Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate (PLZT) optical switch/splitter. The Active Optical Network, called ActiON, using PLZT switching technology has been presented to increase the number of subscribers and the maximum transmission distance, compared to the Passive Optical Network (PON). ActiON supports the multicast sl...

This paper is concerned with direct conversion of waste heat into electricity by executing the Olsen cycle on lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics undergoing a relaxor–ferroelectric phase transition. The Olsen cycle consists of two isothermal and two isoelectric field processes. First, the temperature-dependent dielectric properties were measured for x/65/35 PLZT. The polarization ...

We design and implement an optical slot switching network for bulk content transfer. To realize the slot switching network, we employ the generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) extension protocol to reserve and release slots dynamically according to the application. We use optical switches as relay points in the slot switching network, and we employ a 10 ns highspeed Pb,La Zr,Ti O3 (...
