TL;DR: In this article, Hochberg et al. explain that the situation is much more complex in reality than low-cost manufacturing, high yields and seamless on-chip integration with electronics are often touted as the guaranteed benefits of silicon photonics, but is this really the case?

TL;DR: In this article, a novel way capable of improving low-frequency performance of traditional Vivaldi antennas is presented, which is modified via introducing the loading structure, i.e., circular shape-load or slot-load, to match the termination.

TL;DR: Novel light trapping designs applied to multiple junction thin film solar cells incorporate one dimensional photonic crystals as band pass filters and nano structured diffractive gratings that cut into the photonic crystal layers are incorporated to redirect incoming waves and hence increase the optical path length of light within the solar cells.

TL;DR: Self-collimation in planar photonic crystals is presented and experimentally validate as a new means of achieving structureless confinement of light in optical devices and the ability to arbitrarily route light by exploiting the dispersive characteristics of the photonic crystal is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, a sideband injection-locked laser is used to generate low-noise, high-frequency radio signals that can be tuned over the range of 0.5-110 GHz.
