Optoelectronic Device Speeds Parallel Processing
DAEJEON, South Korea, March 30, 2017 — To increase the speed of data transfer when many microprocessors are used in parallel, a novel device has been developed that uses surface plasmons to mediate optoelectronic imaging. The on-chip plasmonic switching device consists of a 2D disordered array of nanoholes on a thin metal film that can provide multiple-input and multiple-output channels for transferring information from a photonic to an electronic platform. The research team, from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) randomly
Chiral Metamaterial Causes Optical Shift in mW Range
ATLANTA, March 9, 2017 — A metamaterial with chiroptical properties in the nonlinear regime has shown the ability to produce a significant spectral shift with power levels in the milliwatt (mW) range. Two absorptive resonances were spectrally modified through incremental...
Material Reduces Signal Loss, Boost Efficiency of Light-Based Devices
LA JOLLA, Calif., March 3, 2017 — Photonic devices could see a reduction in optical signal loss, as a result of the discovery of a plasmonic metamaterial that compensates for loss of light energy by using a semiconductor to act as a light emitter. Plasmonic metamaterials typically...

Optical Nanomodulator Produces Truly Digital Signals
ZURICH, Feb. 9, 2016 — Responding to the rapidly rising rate and volume of data, an optical modulator that operates at the individual-atom level could both reduce the size of and increase the efficiency of communication networks. The switch is based on the voltage-induced...
Standard Heatsinks Efficiently Cool Plasmonic Components
MOSCOW, Russia, Jan. 21, 2016 — A cooling system using high-performance thermal interfaces has been used to mitigate the heat generated in optoelectronic chips. Self-heating of active plasmonics, which limits achievable optical gain, has been a barrier to the development of...
Metasurface Encodes IR Images
PALAISEAU, France, Dec. 28, 2015 — Irregular metasurfaces can be made to encode multiple images at IR frequencies in much the same way as the pixels in a television screen can form a visible-light image. This was demonstrated with an array of subwavelength metal-insulator-metal (MIM)...
Metal Labels Produce 3D Images of Neurons
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 21, 2015 — Spectral confocal microscopy has been used to visualize neurons with the help of silver- and gold-based cell labeling. The development enables imaging of archived tissue samples, which could aid long-term clinical research efforts and diagnostics...
