Rare Earth Doped Polymer Waveguide Materials and Devices

1 Results Rare earth doped waveguide amplifiers and devices have been demonstrated in silica, crystal and other glass hosts. These rare earth doped optical waveguide devices are based on inorganic materials. Many processing steps are required and can lead to long fabrication time and low yield.Polymer materials offer many distinct properties compared to inorganic materials, such as ease of fabrication, low production costs, simple processing steps, and compatibility with micro-fabrication technologies. ...     

Intelligence service binding architecture for interoperability between home network devices

Existing home devices in home network provides only independent services limited on a homogeneous protocol and/or do not fully support an intelligent service provided by cooperating among heterogeneous protocol devices. This paper proposes an intelligent and integrated service binding architecture which allow the users to figure out the status of devices and to cooperate among home network devices regardless of supported protocols or operational characteristics.
