There are many applications that require long wavelength, large, uniform, reproducible, low cost, stable, and radiation-hard infrared (IR) focal plane arrays (FPAs). For example, the absorption lines of many gas molecules, such as ozone, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide occur in the wavelength region from 3 to 15 microns. Thus, IR imaging systems that operate in the long...

Although FBAR has had large success in filters, both enabling and leading the aggressive mobile phone applications for 4G and 5G LTE, FBAR the resonator could enable other non-filter applications. Two broad areas where FBAR might be useful and perhaps make a profound contribution will be presented. The first area is low power radios. FBAR-enabled radios can reduce the...

Several groups are investigating silicon devices to be implanted near the retina in patients with age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa in which the photoreceptors degrade while other parts of the retina remain mostly functional. One class of these devices, subretinal photodiode arrays, aims to replace the degraded photoreceptors and couple to the functioning portions of the eye. Most...

Millions of patients suffer from the consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) and congenital spinal anomalies. Although many of these patients have obvious limitations in mobility, unbeknownst to the general public is that nearly all have neurogenic bladder dysfunction and lack control of their bladder. Since SCI...
