Photonics Initiative Seminar: Arthur D. Yaghjian

Dr. Arthur D. Yaghjian (Electromagnetics Research) Robust Field-Based Antenna Quality Factor Abstract – New field-based quality factors Q(ω) are derived for antennas with known fields produced by an input current. These Q(ω) are remarkably robust because they equal the input-impedance bandwidth quality factor QZ(ω) when the input impedance is available. Like QZ(ω), the field-based Q(ω)

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Weidong Zhou

Dr. Weidong Zhou, Photonics Center, University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Scaling towards high-power single-mode PCSELs and PCSEL Arrays (Photonic Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers)  Abstract When it was first invented 60 years ago, the laser was described as “A solution looking for a problem”. Few predicted that lasers would ultimately support multi-trillion-dollar photonics-enabled markets today. Based
