Article Abstract
In this study, W-band (75-110 GHz) antenna-coupled optical modulators with a cyclo-olefin polymer (COP) lower cladding, an electro-optic (EO) polymer waveguide, and a gap-embedded patch antenna array were fabricated using a transfer and bonding method of a poled EO polymer film. A carrier-to-sideband ratio (CSR) of 56 dB corresponding to an optical phase shift of 3 mrad was obtained under irradiation with 100 GHz electromagnetic waves with a power of 12.8 W/m. Our devices have the potential to achieve highly efficient wireless-optical signal conversion in radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems.

Electronic devices cover a large subset of daily life gadgets which use power to run, hence increasing the load of the energy needs and indirectly impacting greenhouse gas emissions. Smart electrochromic windows provide a solution to this through remarkable energy saving by adjusting optical behavior depending on the environmental conditions. Since the electrochromic windows also need power to run, a self-powered electrochromic panel will be a better solution.

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are promising materials that not only are atomically thin but also have direct bandgaps, making them highly regarded in optics and optoelectronics. However, their photoluminescence exhibits almost random polarization at room temperature. The emission is also omnidirectional and weak due to the low quantum yield.

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a developing image modality that benefits from light-matter interaction and low acoustic attenuation to provide functional information on tissue composition at relatively large depths. Several studies have reported the potential of dichroism-sensitive photoacoustic (DS-PA) imaging to expand PAI capabilities by obtaining morphological information of tissue regarding anisotropy and predominant orientation. However, most of these studies have limited their analysis to superficial scanning of samples, where fluence effects are negligible.
