Abstract: An optoelectronic memory cell has a transparent top electrode, a photoactive layer, a latching layer, and a bottom electrode. The photoactive layer absorbs photons transmitted through the top electrode and generates charge carriers. During light exposure, the latching layer changes its resistance under an applied electric field in response to the generation of charge carriers in the photoactive layer.

Abstract: A display device for displaying 3D holographic images has multiple pixels, each having a set of coupled optical resonators. The optical paths of the coupled optical resonators can be adjusted to impart a desired phase shift to light passing through the coupled optical resonators. The transmission amplitude and phase of each pixel of the display can be dynamically and individually adjusted for displaying 3D holographic images.

Abstract: An opto-electronic A/D converter includes a tunable laser for wavelength modulating a narrowband coherent electromagnetic beam by the amplitude of the analog signal. A grating transforms the wavelength modulated beam into a corresponding angularly modulated beam. A set of kinoforms diffract the angularly modulated beam into a bundle of diffracted beams. Detectors determine the digital signal by repeatedly sampling the spatial power distribution of the diffracted beams.

Abstract: An opto-electronic A/D converter includes a tunable laser (10) for wavelength modulating a narrowband coherent electromagnetic beam by the amplitude of the analog signal. A grating (12) transforms the wavelength modulated beam into a corresponding angularly modulated beam. A set of kinoforms (14) diffract the angularly modulated beam into a bundle of diffracted beams. Detectors (18, 20) determine the digital signal by repeatedly sampling the spatial power distribution of the diffracted beams.

Abstract: A logic circuit having at least a first input terminal and at least a first output terminal, comprises at least a first and a second electron-wave Y-branch switch, each having a source, a first drain, a second drain, and at least a first gate for switching a source current between the first and the second drain. The sources of said first and second Y-branch switches are adapted to be connected to a high voltage supply and a low voltage supply, respectively. The first gates of said first and second Y-branch switches are interconnected, and the interconnection point between said first gates constitutes said first input terminal. The first drain of the first Y-branch switch is connected to the second drain of the second Y-branch switch, and the second drain of the first Y-branch switch is connected to the first drain of the second Y-branch switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lensless spectrum analyzer, preferably of integrated optical type, with a radiation source (1) connected to a waveguide (2) which is connected to an electro-optical deflector (3), exploiting Pockel's effect. The radiation from the deflector (3) is guided by the waveguide (2) on to a detection matrix (4). The electro-optical deflector (3) then consists of an electrode matrix (5) with the electrodes (6-11) arranged in or in the vicinity of an electro-optically active material (21). The electrodes (6-11) which are of different widths and are disposed at different distances from each other are arranged along a line (18) which is largely disposed at right angle to the incident radiation. By this means, the deflector acquires lens properties and can perform the desired Fourier transformation of the electric signal connected to the deflector (3).
