Silicon photonics have progressed to a point where the next step for commercialization
depends on the accessibility of manufacturing foundries. The implementation of a fabless …

We designed a compact, low-loss and wavelength insensitive Y-junction for submicron
silicon waveguide using finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and particle swarm …

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in progressive liver fibrosis leading to
cirrhosis and liver cancer. The mechanism for this remains unclear but hepatocyte apoptosis …

We demonstrate compact, broadband, ultralow loss silicon waveguide crossings operating
at 1550 nm and 1310 nm. Cross-wafer measurement of 30 dies shows transmission …

We have developed a novel epitaxial nickel-aluminide silicide (NiSi 2-x Al x) to reduce the
Schottky-Barrier height (SBH) and series resistance in n-channel MuGFETs with dopant …

The wavelength band near 1300 nm is attractive for many telecommunications applications,
yet there are few results in silicon that demonstrate high-speed modulation in this band. We …

There has been great interest in the silicon platform as a material system for integrated
photonics. A key challenge is the development of a low-power, low drive voltage, broadband …

Germanium-on-silicon photodetectors have been heavily investigated in recent years as a
key component of CMOS-compatible integrated photonics platforms. It has previously been …

We report a Ge-on-Si photodetector without doped Ge or Ge-metal contacts. Despite the
simplified fabrication process, the device shows a responsivity of 1.14 A/W at− 4 V reverse …

Background and Aims Optimal bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy (CE) is
currently unknown. In this multicenter, blinded, randomized controlled trial, we assessed …
