  • Publication number: 20180204974
    Abstract: A source of collimated light, in particular a source of single photons. The source comprises a cavity in the shape of an inverted pyramid formed in a substrate. At least one quantum dot (Bq) suitable for emitting light with a wavefront is arranged at the apex of the inverted pyramid and a structure (4) having an index gradient fills the cavity. This structure has an effective index that decreases from the centre of the base towards the sides. Thus, the wavefront of the light emitted by the at least one quantum dot is flattened. The invention extends to the method for manufacturing such a source, and to its use for the emission of a sequence of single photons.

  • Publication number: 20130313525
    Abstract: The transistor (100) comprises a nanowire (101) at least partially forming a channel of the transistor (100), a source contact (102) arranged at a first longitudinal end (103) of the nanowire (101), a drain contact (104) arranged at a second longitudinal end (105) of the nanowire (101), and a gate (106) arranged on the nanowire (101) between the source contact (102) and the drain contact (104). Furthermore, a portion of the gate (106) covers, with the interposition of a dielectric material (107), a corresponding portion of the source contact (102) and/or of the drain contact (104) arranged along the nanowire (101) between its two longitudinal ends (103, 105).
