Toward integrated photonic systems for laser beam control
Free-space laser beams are of core importance in many fast-growing technologies, including optical communications, 3D imaging and mapping, interconnects, and augmented reality. However, state-of-the-art solutions that allow to generate and control such beams typically comprise mechanical assemblies, moving parts …

Hydrogen sorption in yttrium-based getter thin films
We investigated the sorption of hydrogen by yttrium-based getters for their application to vacuum wafer-level packaging of microelectromechanical systems. Thin alloy films were co-evaporated under ultra-high vacuum on silicon wafers. Getters were activated by annealing during one hour under …
