Abstract: Embodiments relate to a photonic component having a metasurface. The metasurface includes a substrate with a thin-layer of meta-atoms disposed thereon. The photonic component includes a waveguide having a top surface, wherein the metasurface is disposed on at least a portion of the top surface such that the meta-atoms form an array on the top surface. The photonic component includes a sandwich nano-bar antenna formed in or on the metasurface.

Abstract: A virtual storage device may be generated that replicates a layout of a physical storage device it is replacing. The virtual storage device may be used to store data formerly stored in the physical storage device. The layout may detail various configurations of the physical storage device such as if the physical storage derive implements fixed or variable-block sizes and/or if it implements a level of redundant array of independent disks (RAID). By replicating the layout of a physical storage device that it may replace, the virtual storage device described within various embodiments may offer advantages over other virtual storage devices.

Abstract: A beam scanner and a display device is based on a photonic integrated circuit coupling light to a pair of opposed reflectors. One reflector is tiltable and has an opening through which the light is coupled, and the other reflector is configured to focus light, e.g. a concave reflector. A polarization folding configuration is used to cause the focused light propagate through the opening in the first reflector, get collimated by the second reflector, get scanned by the first reflector, and propagate through the second reflector to a pupil-replicating lightguide which provides multiple laterally offset parallel portions of the scanned beam.

Abstract: A physical unclonable function (PUF) circuit structure is provided, which comprises: n passive conductor groups and n XOR units, where each of the n passive conductor groups comprises m passive conductors, each of the m passive conductors comprises a first terminal connected to a power supply and a second terminal connected to an input terminal of a corresponding XOR unit of the n XOR units; and the second terminals of passive conductors within the same passive conductor group are connected to an input terminal of the corresponding XOR unit. In the circuit structure, the connection randomness of the passive conductors is achieved by using a different widths and/or different spaces of the passive conductors, and then a PUF function can be realized.
