Abstract: This disclosure describes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that includes a three-dimensional (3D) loop antenna. The 3D loop antenna includes a first conductive portion having a length and width that substantially exceed a thickness. The length and width of the first conductive portion substantially lie in a first plane. The 3D loop antenna includes a second conductive portion having a length and width that substantially exceed a thickness. The length and width of the second conductive portion substantially lie in a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane. An RFID circuit electrically connected to the loop antenna excites a current through the first and second conductive portions in a current loop that lies in a third plane that is not substantially parallel to the first and second planes. In some instances the third plane may be substantially perpendicular to the first and second planes.

Abstract: A semiconductor heterojunction, guided-wave, electroabsorption modulator. The device includes a rib waveguide fabricated on a substrate. The waveguide includes a relatively thin and off-center undoped electroabsorbing layer within a light-guiding region. Electrodes configured for interconnection to an external voltage source produce an electric field within the waveguide. Heavily doped field confining layers on opposite sides of the electroabsorbing layer confine the electric field within the electroabsorbing layer to cause the electroabsorption of radiation in accordance with the Franz-Keldysh effect.
