Particle and Molecule Electronics using Micro-optical Circuits: The Future Challenges

Abstract

Optical microring resonator has been the promising device in nanocommunication for a high-speed, large-scale platform. A microring add-drop filter consists of one input port, one microring resonator, and two out ports. The microring resonator serves as a selector for optical carriers and wavelengths. The selected optical wavelength can be routed to one output port and the rest of the wavelengths are transmitted to the other output port. These three-port devices function as switches to route optical signals to different output ports, allowing further integration of various devices on the same platform. Therefore, microring add-drop filters are the crucial basic building block of largescale, multi-stage silicon photonic systems.

Influence of incorporation of starch nanoparticles in PBAT/TPS composite films

“…Both materials present three endothermic peaks. In the matrix, they are around 306 ∘ C, 323 ∘ C and 405 ∘ C, related to the thermal degradation of amylose, amylopectin 15 and PBAT, 39 respectively. The incorporation of starch nanoparticles did not affect PBAT degradation.…”
