Three Dimensionally Interconnected Silicon Nanomembranes for Optical Phased Array (OPA) and Optical True Time Delay (TTD) Applications

Abstract

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

Rapid Prototyping across the Spectrum: RF to Optical 3D Electromagnetic Structures

“…While there are several methods to accomplish conformality, we focus here primarily on nanomembranes (NM) since they lend themselves to various direct write methods discussed above, can include a range of inorganic materials and conjugated carbon compounds like graphene, and have been proved to be a very effective way to build both media and devices [142,143]. We begin the discussion with EM media and then move to devices.…”
