The graphene squeeze-film microphone

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: M. P. Abrahams, J. Martinez, P. G. Steeneken, G. J. Verbiest, | Summary: Most microphones operate by detecting the sound-pressure induced motion of a membrane. In contrast, here we introduce a microphone that operates by monitoring the sound-pressure-induced modulation of the compressibility of air. By driving […]

Investigation of Q degradation in low-loss Si3N4 from heterogeneous laser integration

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Joel Guo, Chao Xiang, Warren Jin, Jonathan Peters, Mingxiao Li | Summary: High-performance, high-volume-manufacturing Si3N4 photonics requires extremely low waveguide losses augmented with heterogeneously integrated lasers for applications beyond traditional markets of high-capacity interconnects. State-of-the-art quality factors (Q) over 200 million at 1550 nm have been […]

The polarization hierarchy for polynomial optimization over convex bodies, with applications to nonnegative matrix rank

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Martin Plávala, Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , | Summary: We construct a convergent family of outer approximations for the problem of optimizing polynomial functions over convex bodies subject to polynomial constraints. This is achieved by generalizing the polarization hierarchy, which has previously been introduced for the […]

Joint Power Allocation and Beamforming Design for Active IRS-Aided Directional Modulation Secure Systems

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yifan Zhao, Xiaoyu Wang, Kaibo Zhou, Xuehui Wang, Yan Wang | Summary: Since the secrecy rate (SR) performance improvement obtained by secure directional modulation (DM) network is limited, an active intelligent reflective surface (IRS)-assisted DM network is considered to attain a high SR. To address the SR […]
