Nearly total optical transmission of linearly polarized light through transparent electrode composed of GaSb monolithic high-contrast grating integrated with gold by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Wasiak, Michal, Zhang, Dao Hua, Fan, Weijun, Czyszanowski, Tomasz

“…Achieving high transmission of light through a highly conductive structure implemented on a semiconductor remains a challenge in optoelectronics as the transmission is inevitably deteriorated by absorption and Fresnel reflection. There have been numerous efforts to design structures with near-unity transmission, yet they are typically constrained by a trade-off between conductivity and optical transmission. …”

Numerical simulation and topology optimization of slider air bearing by Li, Qiang

“…Since the first commercial hard disk drive was developed in 1956, the stability of the flying attitude is always an important factor to be considered in the slider air bearing design. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an efficient computational modeling technique for simulating the air bearing slider (ABS) in hard disk drives and ultimately develop an effective topology optimization methodology to systematically and automatically design the air bearing slider with a target of achieving a near-constant flying attitude when the slider moves over the surface of the hard disk drive. …”

Simulation studies and experimental measurement of the air bearing slider by Ho, Jefferson Rui Ming.

“…The mechanical spacing or flying height, in particular, has been greatly reduced to the nanometer regions. At such ultra-low flying height, slider-disk contact becomes unavoidable due to the flying height variations of the sliders, surface waviness of the disk and short range forces in the head-disk interface.…”
