High conductivity buried layer in optical waveguide

An optical device (300) comprises a multilayer structure, formed by wafer bonding, incorporating in sequence a silicon dioxide layer (304), a buried silicide layer (306), a contact layer (308) and a silicon surface layer (310). The surface layer (310) is selectively etched to form an exposed rib (312). An upper surface of the rib (312) is doped to form an elongate electrode (314) therealong. The surface layer (310) is selectively etched to the contact layer (308) in regions remote from the rib (312) to form via channels (316a, 316b) for making electrical connection to the contact layer (308). The rib (312) forms a waveguide along which radiation propagates. When the electrode (314) is biased relative to the contact layer (308), charge carriers are injected into the rib (312) and induce refractive index changes in a central region (324) thereof where most of the radiation propagates along the rib (312). The silicide layer (306) provides an efficient current conduction path for injecting the carriers, thereby providing enhanced device operating bandwidth and reduced power dissipation.

Novel universal ink jet recording medium

InactiveUS20020182376A1Avoid curlSmooth and high gloss surfaceDuplicating/marking methodsCoatingsCellulosePolyvinyl alcohol
The described invention is an unique universal ink jet media. The invention incorporates a unique barrier layer based upon UV or EB curable chemistry which replaces common polyethylene extruded bases. The invention also incorporates multiple ink receptive layers. The first layer is based upon gelatin and / or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) chemistries and gives the invention excellent ink drytime. Poor drytime is a common problem which leads to smudging and print defects, especially as ink jet printer speeds increase as technology improves. The high ink absorbency of the invention also makes this media well suited for wide format ink jet printers. The next ink receptive layer(s) are based upon pigmented, cellulose chemistry which reduces the tack of the sheet and gives the sheet good waterfastness. This is important for the end use in that the sheet may be frequently handled and exposed to dampness. Another unique property provided by the next ink receptive layer(s) is excellent print quality across a wide range of printers and ink sets (both dye and pigmented), in which other media perform poorly. A final unique property is an anti-curl coating which resists curling as the ambient conditions change from cold and dry to hot and humid.
