The Emil Wolf prize recognizes the innovation, research and presentation excellence of students presenting their work during Frontiers in Optics (FiO). Her name has been added to the list of Emil Wolf prize winners! Her paper presents an amplifier-free on-chip antenna-integrated plasmonic modulator receiver in sub-THz regime. A framework for designing plasmonic antennas and transmission of up to 80Gbit/s in a wireless sub-THz link starring these receivers are shown. Our sincere congratulations!
The paper has been selected by the Optics Express Editors to be highlighted as "Editor's Picks". A recognition that serves "to highlight articles with excellent scientific quality and are representative of the work taking place in a specific field". We thank the editor for this acclaim and congratulate Michael Baumann and the team for the work.
His paper demonstrates plasmonic ring resonator modulators operating at 480Gbit/s with an achievable information rate (AIR) of 461Gbit/s in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) experiment. The modulator features low insertion loss of 1.2 dB, a flat bandwidth in excess of 110 GHz. Our sincere congratulations!
