    Abstract: An optical waveguide includes a first waveguide core, a second waveguide core, a first subwavelength multilayer cladding, a second subwavelength multilayer cladding and a third subwavelength multilayer cladding. The first waveguide core and the second waveguide core have a width (w) and a height (h). The first waveguide core is disposed between the first subwavelength multilayer cladding and the second subwavelength multilayer cladding. The second waveguide core is disposed between the second subwavelength multilayer cladding and the third subwavelength multilayer cladding. Each subwavelength multilayer cladding has a number (TV) of alternating subwavelength ridges having a periodicy (A) and a filling fraction (p). A total coupling coefficient (|/c|) of the first waveguide core and the second waveguide core is from 10 to 0.

    Abstract: A fluidic valve system comprises a housing, a shell mounted to the housing, a vent for allowing fluid to enter the housing in a high pressure zone, at least one Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) flap forming a seal with the shell, wherein applying a voltage to the DEA flap causes the DEA flap to open the seal with the shell so that fluid can exit through a low pressure zone created between the shell and the DEA flap, and a power supply for supplying the voltage to the DEA flap.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for extraction of information of within sample distribution of fiber quality from high-volume instrument (HVI) fibrogram to better predict yarn quality than the standard HVI output. The present invention allows for information on fiber quality to be obtained while avoiding testing samples with more expensive techniques. The disclosed system and method extracts HVI data for collecting a respective set of initial fibrograms from a set of fiber samples and representing them as a distance matrix to form a matrix of transformed fibrogram data, said matrix of transformed fibrogram data comprising a vector of scores to represent each sample and thereafter explaining variation in yarn quality by extracting all of the information available from the fibrogram.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for solid-state 2D optical phased arrays (OPAs), which are fabricated from In-rich In1-xGaxN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs). In-rich InxGa1-xN alloys possess the unique properties of exceptionally high free-carrier-induced refractive index (n) change and low optical loss. InGaN/GaN MQW pixels play the role of using a very small fraction of a laser beam to modulate the phase of the laser beam. The phase of each MQW pixel in the OPA is controlled independently via electro-optic effect through the integration between OPA pixels with a Laterally Diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) integrated circuit driver to achieve the manipulation of the distribution of optical power in the far field. The present invention is applicable to a wide range of applications, including the operation of LIDAR systems, laser weapons, laser illuminators, and laser imaging systems.
