A broadband 4-18 GHz active quadrature hybrid

Paul Sangare, Christophe Loyez, Kevin Carpentier, Markus Mayer, Dirk Hartung, Francois Parickmiler, Nathalie Rolland

This paper presents an innovative topology of a broadband active quadrature hybrid. This novel architecture consists of a traveling wave amplifier with a unique coupling mechanism, providing amplitude flatness and low phase imbalance over the 4 - 18 GHz frequency band. Experimental results validate…

On the two-way diamond relay channel with lattice-based Compress-and-Forward

Anne Savard, Laurent Clavier

This paper focuses on the full-duplex Gaussian two-way diamond relay channel (TWDRC), where two users wish to exchange their messages with the help of two relays, when one relay performs a lattice-based Compress-and-Forward (CF) scheme. The other relay performs either Decode-and-Forward (DF),…

Indoor 100 Gbit/s THz data link in the 300 GHz band using fast photodiodes

Vinay Kumar Chinni, Malek Zegaoui, Christophe Coinon, X. Wallart, Emilien Peytavit, Jean-Francois Lampin, P. Szriftgiser, Mohammed Zaknoune, Guillaume Ducournau

This paper presents recent achievements towards 100 Gbit/s data links for future 300 GHz communication systems with the new IEEE 802.15.3d standard. Resonant photodiodes structures, and their application for QAM-16 data links in the THz range are shown in indoor scenario.

Suppression of contact noise in a study on 1/ f noise as a function of film thickness in Al-doped ZnO

Abicha Achahour, Gérard Leroy, L.K.J. Vandamme, Boubakeur Ayachi, Benoît Duponchel, Nicolas Waldhoff, Karine Blary, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

Aluminum doped-zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were prepared on glass substrate by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering at room temperature. The sheet resistance, Rsh [Ω] the resistivity, ρ [Ω·cm] and the 1/f noise were studied as a function of thickness, t from 50 nm to 450 nm. The eddy current…

Addressing the exciton fine structure in colloidal nanocrystals: the case of CdSe nanoplatelets

Elena V Shornikova, Louis Biadala, Dmitri R Yakovlev, Victor F Sapega, Yuri G Kusrayev, Anatolie Mitioglu, Mariana V Ballottin, Peter C M Christianen, Vasilii V Belykh, Mikhail V Kochiev, Nikolai N Sibeldin, Aleksandr A Golovatenko, Anna V Rodina, Nikolay A Gippius, Alexis Kuntzmann, Ye Jiang, Michel Nasilowski, Benoit Dubertret, Manfred Bayer

We study the band-edge exciton fine structure and in particular its bright-dark splitting in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals by four different optical methods based on fluorescence line narrowing and time-resolved measurements at various temperatures down to 2 K. We demonstrate that all these…

Nano-structured top contact with low optical polarization dependence for THz generation using photodiodes

Sara Bretin, Maximilien Billet, Emilien Peytavit, Francois Vaurette, Christophe Coinon, X. Wallart, Jean-Francois Lampin, Malek Zegaoui, Guillaume Ducournau, Mohammed Zaknoune

Uni-travelling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) with different top optical and electrical accesses are proposed towards optical polarization sensitivity reduction. With the optimized structure, only 1 percent dependence in optical polarization is obtained while ensuring good RF access. Measurements up…

A time-domain model and experimental validation of the acoustic field radiated by air-coupled transducers

Ji Li, Bogdan Piwakowski

This paper presents a time-domain model for the prediction of an acoustic field in an air-coupled, noncontact, ultrasonic setup, which includes an air-coupled Emitter, the Propagation space and an aircoupled Receiver (EPR). The model takes into account the finite size of the aperture receiver,…

Effective and rapid technique for temporal response modeling of surface acoustic wave interdigital transducers

Dame Fall, Marc Duquennoy, Mohammadi Ouaftouh, Bogdan Piwakowski, Frédéric Jenot

Surface Acoustic Wave Interdigital Transducers (SAW-IDT) has a considerable application potential for characterization of properties of thin layers, coatings and functional surfaces. For optimization of these SAW-IDTs, it is necessary to study various SAW-IDT configurations by varying the number of…

Resolving the Controversial Existence of Silicene and Germanene Nanosheets Grown on Graphite

Wenbing Peng, Tao Xu, Pascale Diener, Louis Biadala, Maxime Berthe, Xiaodong Pi, Yves Borensztein, Alberto Curcella, Romain Bernard, Geoffroy Prévot, B. Grandidier

The highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface, consisting of a dangling bond-free lattice, is regarded as a potential substrate for van der Waals heteroepitaxy of two-dimensional layered materials. In this work, the growth of silicon and germanium on HOPG is investigated with scanning…
