Generation of mW level in the 300-GHz band using resonant-cavity-enhanced unitraveling carrier photodiodes

Philipp Latzel, Fabio Pavanello, Maximilien Billet, Sara Bretin, Alexandre Beck, Mathias Vanwolleghem, Christophe Coinon, Xavier Wallart, Emilien Peytavit, Guillaume Ducournau, Mohammed Zaknoune, Jean-Francois Lampin

We present a resonant-cavity-enhanced broadband unitraveling carrier photodiode optimized for terahertz (THz) generation. It uses a novel semitransparent top-contact utilizing subwavelength apertures for enhanced optical transmission. The contact allows front-side illumination of the photodiode…

Low Complexity Joint Blind Equalization and CFO Estimation for MC-CDMA System

Kais Bouallegue, Iyad Dayoub, M Gharbi, Kaïs Hassan, R. Masmoudi, A. Djebbar

Based on the orthogonality between the used and the unused spreading codes (excess codes) subspaces in one hand and on the restoration of guard interval redundancy of Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access signal in other hand, we propose joint Carrier Frequency Offset and time domain equalizer…

Low Source/Drain Contact Resistance for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with High Al Concentration and Si-HP [111] Substrate

Steven Duffy, Brahim Benbakhti, Maghnia Mattalah, Wei Zhang, Meriem Bouchilaoun, Mohammed Boucherta, Karol Kalna, Nour Eddine Bourzgui, Maher, Hassan, Ali Soltani

An optimized fabrication process of ohmic contacts is proposed to reduce the source/drain access resistance (RC) and enhance DC/RF performance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with a high Al concentration. We show that source/drain RC can be considerably lowered by (i) optimally etching into the barrier layer…

Acoustic source localization based on the similarity rate between frequency-time images

Karl Hourany, Youssef Zaatar, Farouk Benmeddour, Emmanuel Moulin, Dorothée Debavelaere-Callens, Jamal Assaad

Many studies in different domains have shown the possibility of extracting information from a medium by exploiting the natural acoustic noise present in such medium. Recently, the promising potential of a passive acoustic technique, based on the correlation of the ambient noise for controlling the…

Microfabricated PEDOT trilayer actuators: synthesis, characterization, and modeling

Ngoc Tan Nguyen, Cedric Plesse, Caroline Soyer, Sébastien Grondel, John D.W. Madden, Eric Cattan, Frédéric Vidal

Conducting polymer actuators have long been of interest as an alternative to piezoelectric and electrostatic actuators due to their large strains and low operating voltages. Recently, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) - based ionic actuators have been shown to overcome many of the initial…

Finite element modeling of a piezoelectric slender bar transducer equipped with a multilayer backing for medical imaging applications

Nadia El Atlas, Abdelmajid Bybi, Hilal Drissi, Anne-Christine Hladky

The goal of this work is to investigate the impact of front and back matching layers properties on a piezoelectric slender bar transducer performances and to propose a novel multilayer backing absorber. Quarter-wavelength acoustic matching layers and backing are known as essential components to…
