To overcome this, heterogeneous integration of emerging electrooptic materials into Si or SiN platforms are a promising path to deliver <1fJ/bit device-level efficiency, 50+Ghz fast switching, and <10's um^2 compact footprints. Graphene's Pauli blocking enables intriguing opportunities for device performance to include broadband absorption, unity-strong index modulation, low contact resistance. Similarly, ITO has shown ENZ behavior, and tunability for EOMs or EAMs. Here we review recent modulator advances all heterogeneously integrated on Si or SiN such as a) a DBR-enabled photonic 60 GHz graphene EAM, b) a hybrid plasmon graphene EAM of 100aJ/bit efficiency, d) the first ITO-based MZI showing a VpL = 0.52 V-mm, and e) a plasmonic ITO MZI with a record low VpL = 11 V-um. We conclude by discussing modulator scaling laws for a roadmap to achieve 10's aJ/bit devices.","PeriodicalId":265578,"journal":{"name":"Optical Components and Materials XVI","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130524020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, to fabricate an elastomeric mirror, a metal layer is deposited on an elastomer substrate by vacuum process such as thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation, and sputtering. However, these processes can damage the elastomeric substrate, thereby degrading the quality of the mirror surface. The metal layer formed on the elastomeric substrate is also vulnerable to small deformation, which limits applications of elastomeric mirror. In this work, we report all-solution-processed elastomeric mirror film whose constituent layers were deposited sequentially by spin coating and dip coating method. The film consists of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) base, aluminum (Al) mirror, and PDMS encapsulation layer. As a material of mirror layer, we selected a ‘mirror ink’, which composed of Al powder, organic solvent, adhesive and mainly used for screen printing. We adjusted the dilution concentration of mirror ink to make it suitable for the solution process and controlling the roughness of the coated mirror layer. In addition, there was no damage to the mirror layer against deformation due to the presence of encapsulation layer, so it can be attachable well to the curved surface. As an example of application, we demonstrated a seamless display system by placing the elastomeric mirror between two curved panels. We expect that our elastomeric mirror will be applicable to various tunable optical systems.","PeriodicalId":265578,"journal":{"name":"Optical Components and Materials XVI","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122937019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Single nanoparticles can be used both as nanoantennas and as building blocks to construct 2D and 3D meta-structures. In this work we study scattering effect when silicon nanoparticles are embedded in different media. To analyze the evolution of multipole moments and their contributions to the scattering cross-sections of the nanoparticles in media, we use semi-analytical multipole decomposition approach. Explicitly, we investigate the behavior of electric and magnetic multipoles, up to third order, while dielectric nanoparticle made of silicon is embedded in a media. We found that electric and magnetic multipoles experience different red shift as refractive index increases. Due to this behavior separated high-order multipole resonances overlap with each other; thereby, scattering cross section peaks, which could be observed when a particles are in air, merge to the joint scattering cross section peaks. Such resonances overlap also affect both far-field radiation diagrams and field distribution inside the nanoparticle. Importantly, we noticed that when index of a surrounding media increases, the cubical nanoparticles provide spectral broadening of forward scattering effect. \u0000Our results provide fundamental information for understanding the scattering effect in all-dielectric nanoantennas or metasurfaces embedded in different dielectric media and operating in wide spectral range. For practical utilization, explored here dielectric nanoparticles could be used in broad range of applications such as in-vitro and in-vivo biomedical devices for sensing and drug delivering, sub-wavelength nano-amplifiers, and many other emerging applications.","PeriodicalId":265578,"journal":{"name":"Optical Components and Materials XVI","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128129877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
