VLSI Compatible Silicon-on-Insulator Plasmonic Components
SBC: ITN ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF08BT18This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project will develop ultradense, low-power plasmonic integration components and devices for on-chip manipulation and processing of optical signals. Both passive and active components will be studied. Detailed performance predictions will be obtained through finite element modeling (FEM) of the harmonic Maxwell’s equations. The FEM provides detai ...

Metal-blacks for plasmonic enhancement of solar-cell efficiency
SBC: Physical Engineering Corporation Topic: AF09BT39This Phase I STTR proposal will demonstrate nanostructured “metal-black” coatings to enhance absorption by thin film solar cells. The problem is that silicon has low absorption due to its indirect gap. The opportunity is that nano-scale metallic scattering centers increase the effective optical path length and enhance the solar electric-field strength in thin-film solar cells, leading to more ...

Innovative Earth Gravity Reformulation and Numerical Integration for Responsive SSA
SBC: OMITRON, INC. Topic: AF09BT02Currently, computation of the geopotential acceleration and its partial derivatives consumes a large portion of numerical integration time in special perturbations (SP) applications. The standard geopotential formulation is expressed as a spherical harmonic expansion in geocentric latitude, geocentric longitude, and radial distance. Recent research by Dr. Beylkin of the University of Colorado ha ...
