A cell suitable for use with an atomic clock and a method for making the same, the cell including: a silicon wafer having a recess formed therein; at least one amorphous silicate member having an ion mobility and temperature expansion coefficient approximately that of silicon sealing the recess; and, an alkali metal containing component and buffer gas contained in the recess. The method includes: providing a silicon wafer; forming a cavity through the silicon wafer; introducing an alkali metal containing component and buffer gas into the cavity; and, anodically bonding at least one amorphous silicate member having an ion mobility and temperature expansion coefficient approximately that of silicon to the wafer to close the cavity.

Anodically bonded cell, method for making same and systems incorporating same

An optical system including: a substrate having a recess; and, a substantially planar, semiconductor waveguiding membrane suspended over the recess and having a thickness less than about 200 nm; wherein, the optical system supports a propagating optical mode having a majority of its energy external to the semiconductor waveguiding membrane.

Low optical overlap mode (LOOM) waveguiding system and method of making same

A photonic device suitable for being optically coupled to at least one optical fiber having a first spot-size, the device including: at least one photonic component; and, a graded index lens optically coupled between the at least one photonic component and the at least one optical fiber; wherein, the graded index lens is adapted to convert optical transmissions from the at least one photonic component to the first spot size.

Amorphous silicon alloy based integrated spot-size converter

A photonic integrated circuit including: at least one photonic component being suitable for operation with a plurality of photons and including an operational material having a bandgap energy close to the energy of the photons; and, at least one photonic component being suitable for operation with the plurality of photons, including an operational material having a bandgap energy substantially higher than the photons and being adjacent to the at least one photonic component including an operational material having a bandgap energy close to the energy of the photons. The at least one photonic component including an operational material having a bandgap energy substantially higher than the photons includes at least one amorphous silicon based alloy material.
