Energy Efficient Transmission Scheme Alternative to M-PAM for Short Range Data Communication

Elsherif M.A., Malekmohammadi A., The University of Nottingham, MY

Mapping Multiplexing Technique was reported for the ﬁrst time in [(patent No: PI201270063)] as an alternative modulation and multiplexing technique for high-speed optical fiber communication systems. In this letter two, three, and four-channel Mapping Multiplexing [...]

Highly Tunable Surface Plasmons Resonance Using Metal/metal Oxide Hybrid Nanostructures

Khosroabadi A.A., Gangopadhyay P., Norwood R.A., University of Arizona, US

Metal and metal oxide electrodes play a significant role in many cutting edge applications including photonics, membranes, biological supports, sensing, electrochromics, and in various green technologies, such as, photocatalytics, Li-ion batteries and photovoltaics. There is [...]

Plasmonic Structural Colors For Plastic Consumer Products

Højlund-Nielsen E., Clausen J., Thamdrup L.H., Zalkovskij M., Højlund-Nielsen E., Nielsen T., Mäkelä T., Ahopelto J., Mortensen N.A., Kristensen A., Technical University of Denmark, DK

Today colorants, such as pigments or dyes, are used to color plastic-based consumer products, either as base for solid colored bulk polymer or in inks for surface decoration. After usage, the products must be mechanically [...]

Effective Multistep Exciton Delivery Through DNA-based Photonic Wires

Spillmann C.M., Buckhout-White S., Ancona M.G., Cunningham P.D., Melinger J.S., Goldman E.R., Medintz I.L., Naval Research Laboratory, US

Energy manipulation at the nanoscale is a key requirement to develop next-generation nanotechnologies ranging from biosensing to light harvesting, yet the design rules of these nanoscale systems must first be optimized to accomplish their intended [...]

230 fold fluorescence enhancement by 3D Rhodamine B coated polystyrene photonic crystals

Eftekhari E., Li Q., Li X., Cole I.S., Li Q., Li X., Griffith University, AU

We report a 230-fold fluorescence enhancement with fluorescent polystyrene based three-dimensional (3D) colloidal photonic crystals (F-CPhCs) that can be readily fabricated over large areas. A simple and reproducible method was developed to synthesise novel fluorescent [...]

3D laser writing in-line process for the rapid fabrication of flexible electronic devices

Dubourg G., Marjanović S., Zlebic C., Matovic J., Crnojević Bengin V., Biosense Center, RS

In this work, we present for the first time a new approach of a 3D direct laser writing which allows the patterning of several layers in a single step by adjusting the parameters of the [...]

Transparent, Scalable, and Flexible Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors

Vishniakou S., UC San Diego, US

We present a pressure-sensitive ZnO thin-film transistor (TFT) as a potential technology for next-generation touchscreen. We discuss the properties of our devices and propose a structure that could be used to create transparent, scalable, and [...]

Wearable and flexible electronic devices: Market forecasts 2015-2025

Zervos H., IDTechEx Inc, US

Wearable technology mainly concerns devices and apparel. With a wide range of products, from glasses and other headgear to arm, wrist, leg and footwear, skin patches and even jewelry, the device business is already large, [...]

Room-temperature printing of thin-film devices for flexible electronics

Minari T., Kanehara M., National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), JP

We have established 'Room-Temperature Printed Electronics (RTPE)' as the new fabrication method for thin-film electronic devices, which can be carried out under ambient atmospheric condition at room temperature without application of heat. Thermal damage is [...]
