This technology relates to an ultra high efficient LED system with the capability to modify an LEDs radiation pattern by changing its physical dimension-emission beam shape. The ultra high efficiency and redistribution of light has been achieved without the use of a back reflector. The ultra high efficiency can be controlled by changing the size of the nanorods within the…
This technology relates to a wireless radio communications scheme that minimizes interferences between different channels and increases high bandwidth data communication. Furthermore, this modulation scheme is easy to implement with simple low cost electronic systems. Possible applications for this technology include: optical communication, energy efficient illumination,…
This technology relates to liquid lenses, which are adaptive optical elements that avoid some of the drawbacks of mechanical optical elements, such as delayed movements and excess weight. This technology provides an oscillating liquid lens that includes a liquid drop with first and second droplet portions, a second liquid, and a drive that oscillates the liquid drop within a…
This technology relates to high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). In conventional off-type HEMTs, a large amount of gate threshold voltage variation is often found. Transistors according to this technology include a p-type region, a barrier region, an insulation film, a gate electrode, and a channel region. The channel region is connected to an upper surface of the p-…
This technology relates to solid-state devices as replacements for incandescent light bulbs. The LED based bulb uses the normal Edison socket, but the LED and heat sink are placed on the far end of the bulb. The heat sink attaches to the bottom and outside of the bulb providing a structural base for the LED. Several alternative shapes for the light guide are provided to…
This technology provides an improved MOSFET structure for power switching applications. An n- GaN reduced surface field (RESURF) region is created using epitaxial growth and selective etching of an n- drift layer. This is followed by ion implantation to achieve n GaN contact regions for the source and drain. This avoids the difficulties in controlling doping levels, leakage…
Optical concentrators are used to focus sunlight onto a smaller area where a photovoltaic cell is located in order to reduce the total area (and cost) of PV cells. Concentrators often have problems assocated with higher temperatures and the need to be moved to track the movement of the sun. This technology utilizes double sided PVs and multiple optical elements as a…
To implement hybrid nanodevices consisting of nanowire crossbars on top of a CMOS backplane, the challenge is to interface between the relatively coarse features of the CMOS domain and the dense nanowires above. Such an interface can be realised through a microwire to nanowire demultiplexer. This technology provides a hybrid demultiplexer architecture that combines both…
Using air as an emitting medium to generate terahertz wave has attracted attention because of its potential applications for remote distance THz wave sensing and imaging. Yet, the cutting edge energy conversion efficiency of THz wave generation with optical method is extremely low. Researchers at Rensselaer have developed a method for generating amplified terahertz radiation…
