    Abstract: An photonic RF circulator is described that provides greater than 40 db of isolation between a Received RF signal and a Transmitted RF signal in a simultaneous transmit and receive device. The photonic RF circulator uses light modulated in an optical waveguide grating where the Received RF signal co-propagates with the light and the Transmitted RF signal counter-propagates with the light. Variations described within provide for broadening the bandwidth of the T/R isolation and rejection of various noise sources.

    Abstract: This invention is the Optically Powered and Controlled Non-Foster Circuit (OPCNFC) that is electrically floating; i.e., it does not have any metallic electrical/conductive connection to a power supply, ground, or control signal. Rather power and control signals are applied to the OPCNFC using optical energy. The Non-Foster Circuit (NFC) synthesizes negative inductance, negative capacitance, and/or negative resistance between metallic patches disposed in an array of an Artificial Impedance Surface (AIS).

    Abstract: A tunable metamaterial has a two dimensional array of resonant annular ring elements; and a plurality of voltage controllable electrical tuning elements disposed in or adjacent openings in each of said ring elements, each of said voltage controllable electrical tuning element ohmically contacting portions of only one of said ring elements. The voltage controllable electrical tuning elements may comprise highly doped semiconductor tunnel diodes, or the charge accumulation layer at the semiconductor/insulator interface of a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure, or nanoelectromechanical (NEMs) capacitors. The tunable metamaterial may be used, for example, in an optical beam steering device using the aforementioned tunable optical metamaterial in which a free-space optical beam is coupled into a receiving portion of a plane of the optical metamaterial and is steered out of a transmitter portion of the plane of the optical metamaterial in controllable azimuthal and elevational directions. The tunable metamaterial additionally has other applications.
