20140353712 | NANOPILLAR OPTICAL RESONATOR - Embodiments of a monolithically integrated optical resonator are disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical resonator is a nanopillar optical resonator that is formed directly on a substrate and promotes a helically-propagating cavity mode. The helically-propagating cavity mode results in significant reflection or, in some embodiments, total internal reflection at an interface of the nanopillar optical resonator and the substrate even if refractive indices of the nanopillar optical resonator and the substrate are the same or similar. As a result, strong optical feedback, and thus strong resonance, is provided in the nanopillar optical resonator. | 12-04-2014 |

Embodiments are described for planar waveguides (1D) having a planar core between two planar HCGs, as well as | 11-17-2011 |
20130058370 | PLANAR, HIGH NA, LOW LOSS TRANSMITTING OR REFLECTING LENSES USING SUB-WAVELENGTH HIGH CONTRAST GRATING - Planar lenses and reflectors are described comprising subwavelength high-contrast gratings (HCG) having high index of refraction grating elements spaced apart from one another in straight and/or curved segments and surrounded by low index material. The high-contrast grating is configured to receive an incident wave which excites multiple modes within the high-contrast grating and is focused for reflection and/or transmission by said high contrast grating. The width of the high contrast grating bars vary along a distribution direction of the grating bars which is perpendicular to the length of the grating bars and/or varies along the length of one or more grating bars to focus said reflection and/or transmission. The HCG is configured to provide double focusing, whose use is exemplified within a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) structure using focusing HCG structures for both the top and bottom mirrors. | 03-07-2013 |

20110146771 | NANONEEDLE PLASMONIC PHOTODETECTORS AND SOLAR CELLS - The present disclosure provides a catalyst-free growth mode of defect-free Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)-based nanoneedles on silicon (Si) substrates with a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible growth temperature of around 400° C. Each nanoneedle has a sharp 2 to 5 nanometer (nm) tip, a 600 nm wide base and a 4 micrometer (μm) length. Thus, the disclosed nanoneedles are substantially hexagonal needle-like crystal structures that assume a 6° to 9° tapered shape. The 600 nm wide base allows the typical micro-fabrication processes, such as optical lithography, to be applied. Therefore, nanoneedles are an ideal platform for the integration of optoelectronic devices on Si substrates. A nanoneedle avalanche photodiode (APD) grown on silicon is presented in this disclosure as a device application example. The APD attains a high current gain of 265 with only 8V bias. | 06-23-2011 |

20160078531 | AGGREGATION ENGINE FOR REAL-TIME COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK SCORING - Techniques are disclosed for computing a real-time credit risk score. In one example, the method comprises at least one processor generating a computation graph comprising static computation nodes, dynamic computation nodes, and computation edges. The computation graph is a tree. Before receiving the real-time trade, the processor determines a pipeline kernel in the computation graph and computes the respective static information in the pipeline kernel. After computing the static information, the processor receives the real-time trade. The real-time trade is associated with a current exchange of assets for which a real-time credit risk score may be determined and comprises real-time information for use in computing the real-time credit risk score. The processor computes, based on the real-time trade and the computed static information, the dynamic information in the pipeline kernel and computes, based on the computed dynamic information, the real-time credit risk score. | 03-17-2016 |
