Direct coupling is advantageous in many photodetector applications, such as viewing laser thresholds and modulation depth. I patented a very fast photodetector mount 1,2 in the early 1970s using these ...

The concept of laser-driven photonic cooling, in which solid-state structures are able to absorb heat when illuminated by a laser under the right circumstances, has been an attractive one in several ...

Optical systems have many unique attributes that make them useful for range detection and communications, but often the optical signal needs to be converted to an electrical signal as part of the ...
