Abstract

International audience; In this work, the thermo-optical properties of nematic liquid crystals are investigated through localized reflectance spectra measurements performed on a tunable LC-filter. The final aim is to insert such LC in the cavity of a tunable VCSEL device, in which local self-heating due to optical or electrical pumping must be taken into account. We demonstrate that, whereas standard LC E7 is not suited for real device operation, the maximal operating temperature of QYDPLC-36 LC is 95°C, with a birefringence at 1.55 μm higher than 0.18 at 60°C.

Abstract

International audience; In this work we investigate a tunable 850nm laser based on a hybrid combination of a liquid crystal micro-cell and a half GaAs VCSEL. The target application is optical coherence tomography. The inherent tolerances of the hybrid technology, the presence of metals in the cavity and the need for a pure extraordinary mode lasing make challenging the optical design of this laser. Hence, VELM, a full 3D and vectorial VCSEL optical solver, is utilized to understand loss mechanisms and provide an optimized design.

Abstract

A low cost packaging solution has been successfully implemented on RF MEMS switches. The encapsulation is made at wafer level by thin film packaging, it allows keeping very small footprint for the device and is fully compatible with wire bonding and flip chip assembly. In addition to their highly shrinked size, packaged switches excellent microwave performances and promising behaviors in terms of reliability, especially for redundancy schemes required by space applications.

Abstract

This paper presents several experimental and simulation results on 130 nm SOI integrated inductors. Measurements and 3D electromagnetic simulations highlight the efficiency of different layout techniques and technological choices to improve the integrated inductor Q factor. We compare a variable-width spiral inductor with a classical spiral inductor keeping the inductance value constant as an essential parameter for RF circuit designers. A 30% Q factor enhancement is achieved for a same size device and same inductance value. The paper will attempt to provide keys to compromise between Q factor optimization and inductor compactness. The influence of the ratio between internal and external width of the coil's turns and the wire space is also examined.

Abstract

The field emission current generated across the actuation pads in ohmic MEMS switches during ON state is shown to constitute an additional source of degradation. Switches with Au/Au and Au/Ru contacts have been subjected to 24 h continuous stress. In both cases the switch ohmic contact resistance and field emission current across actuation pads were monitored simultaneously. The experimental results revealed a negligible degradation in Au/Au contact devices while the Au/Ru contact devices show a fast degradation. The experimental results from Au/Au and Ru/Au contact switches have been compared taking into account the plasma generation in the actuation pads.
