Ion beam micromachining of integrated optics components
Thin film integrated optics components such as light guides, modulators, directional couplers, and polarizers demand high quality edge smoothness and high resolution pattern formation in dimensions down to submicrometer size. Fabrication techniques combining holographic and scanning electron beam lithography with ion beam micromachining have produced planar phase gratings with intervals as small as 2800 Å, guiding channel couplers in GaAs, and also wire- grid polarizers for 10.6-µm radiation
Optically pumped GaAs surface laser with corrugation feedback
A GaAs distributed-feedback laser was fabricated and pumped optically. A narrow stimulated spectrum was obtained around 0.83 µ with threshold pumping power of ~2 × 10^5 W/cm^2
Channel Optical Waveguides and Directional Couplers in GaAs -- Imbedded and Ridged
Two-channel imbedded directional couplers were fabricated with proton implantation, yielding complete light transfer in 2 mm. Ridged channel guides were fabricated by ion-micromachining epitaxial layers, and a method of directional coupling was demonstrated
Asymptotically false-positive-maximizing attack on non-binary Tardos codes
We use a method recently introduced by Simone and Skoric to study accusation
probabilities for non-binary Tardos fingerprinting codes. We generalize the
pre-computation steps in this approach to include a broad class of collusion
attack strategies. We analytically derive properties of a special attack that
asymptotically maximizes false accusation probabilities. We present numerical
results on sufficient code lengths for this attack, and explain the abrupt
transitions that occur in these results
Theory and fabrication of integrated optics directional couplers in GaAs
Channel optical waveguide couplers will be discussed, citing the fabrication of closely-spaced waveguides by proton implantation. Coupling was observed at 1.15μ and 1.06μ
Hadamard upper bound on optimum joint decoding capacity of Wyner Gaussian cellular MAC
This article presents an original analytical expression for an upper bound on the optimum joint decoding capacity of Wyner circular Gaussian cellular multiple access channel (C-GCMAC) for uniformly distributed mobile terminals (MTs). This upper bound is referred to as Hadamard upper bound (HUB) and is a novel application of the Hadamard inequality established by exploiting the Hadamard operation between the channel fading matrix G and the channel path gain matrix Ω. This article demonstrates that the actual capacity converges to the theoretical upper bound under the constraints like low signal-to-noise ratios and limiting channel path gain among the MTs and the respective base station of interest. In order to determine the usefulness of the HUB, the behavior of the theoretical upper bound is critically observed specially when the inter-cell and the intra-cell time sharing schemes are employed. In this context, we derive an analytical form of HUB by employing an approximation approach based on the estimation of probability density function of trace of Hadamard product of two matrices, i.e., G and Ω. A closed form of expression has been derived to capture the effect of the MT distribution on the optimum joint decoding capacity of C-GCMAC. This article demonstrates that the analytical HUB based on the proposed approximation approach converges to the theoretical upper bound results in the medium to high signal to noise ratio regime and shows a reasonably tighter bound on optimum joint decoding capacity of Wyner GCMAC
