Tunable graphene-based infrared reflectance filter having patterned nanoantenna layer and unpatterned graphene layer

Patent Beechem, III, Thomas Edwin; Goldflam, Michael; Howell, Stephen W.; ...

An actively tunable optical filter can control the amplitude of reflected infrared light. The filter exploits the dependence of the excitation energy of plasmons in a continuous and unpatterned sheet of graphene, on the Fermi-level, which can be controlled by conventional electrostatic gating. An exemplary filter enables simultaneous modification of two distinct spectral bands whose positions are dictated by the device geometry and graphene plasmon dispersion. Within these bands, the reflected amplitude can be varied by over 15% and resonance positions can be shifted by over 90 cm−1. Electromagnetic simulations verify that tuning arises through coupling of incident light tomore » « less

Laser-induced graphene/graphite antenna

Patent Benza, Donald W.; Harrar, Karl E.; Folsom, Matthew D.

The present disclosure is directed to an antenna that includes a substrate and a graphene or graphite layer positioned on at least a portion of the substrate. The graphene or graphite layer includes a first zone having a first thickness along a vertical direction of the antenna and a second zone having a second thickness along the vertical direction of the antenna. The second thickness is less than the first thickness such that the second zone has a greater electrical resistance than the first zone.

Continuous wavelength tunable laser source with optimum positioning of pivot axis for grating

Patent Pushkarsky, Michael; Amone, David F.

A laser source (10) for generating a continuously wavelength tunable light (12) includes a gain media (16), an optical output coupler (36F), a cavity collimator (38A), a diffraction grating (30), a grating beam (54), and a beam attacher (56). The diffraction grating (30) is spaced apart from the cavity collimator (38A) and the grating (30) cooperates with the optical output coupler (36F) to define an external cavity (32). The grating (30) includes a grating face surface (42A) that is in a grating plane (42B). The beam attacher (56) retains the grating beam (54) and allows the grating beam (54) andmore » « less

Wavelength-tunable optical ring resonators

Patent Watts, Michael R [Albuquerque, NM]; Trotter, Douglas C [Albuquerque, NM]; Young, Ralph W [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

Optical ring resonator devices are disclosed that can be used for optical filtering, modulation or switching, or for use as photodetectors or sensors. These devices can be formed as microdisk ring resonators, or as open-ring resonators with an optical waveguide having a width that varies adiabatically. Electrical and mechanical connections to the open-ring resonators are made near a maximum width of the optical waveguide to minimize losses and thereby provide a high resonator Q. The ring resonators can be tuned using an integral electrical heater, or an integral semiconductor junction.
