Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”

High-speed and high-photocurrent InP-based uni-traveling-carrier photodiode by Meng, Qianqian

“…Uni-traveling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) has attracted much attention since it was proposed in 1997. Compared to conventional PIN-PD, UTC-PD has a unique mode of operation where only faster electrons serve as the active carriers, which can reduce the space charge effect and lead to much higher current, and higher speed operations. …”

Semiconductor quantum well irradiated by a two-mode electromagnetic field as a terahertz emitter by Mandal, Subhaskar, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Kibis, Oleg V.

“…In the considered strongly coupled electron-field system, the dressing field opens dynamic Stark gaps in the electron energy spectrum of the QW, whereas the driving field induces electron oscillations in the QW plane. Since the gapped electron spectrum restricts the amplitude of the oscillations, the emission of a frequency comb from the QW appears. …”
