This paper presents the use of a Yagi-Uda antenna on polymer substrate for 300 GHz data communications. The antenna is described and characterized in terms of radiation pattern in the 300 GHz band. Then, it is used and validated within a communication link. Using amplitude shift keying modulation at 10 Gbps and without any signal...

We report on the use of a Yagi-Uda antenna on polymer substrate used in a 306 GHz-20 Gbit/s real-time data link for indoor applications. The Yagi-Uda antenna is described and the validation of the THz link is obtained in amplitude modulation mode and using QAM-16 signals (32 Gbit/s).

We present a simulation-based performance assessment of various phase-change materials (PCMs) in the context of photonic integrated circuits. We study a device consisting of a thin rectangular patch of PCM deposited on a silicon nitride waveguide. This device is programmed using guided optical pulses to alter its optical transmission by...
