Direct Observation of Landau Levels in Silicon Photonic Crystals

Maria Barsukova, Fabien Grisé, Zeyu Zhang +7

We experimentally observe photonic Landau levels that arise due to a strain-induced pseudomagnetic field in a silicon photonic crystal slab. The Landau levels are dispersive (i.e.,…

A Primer for Telemetry Interfacing in Accordance with NASA Standards Using Low Cost FPGAs

Jake A. McCoy, Ted B. Schultz, James H. Tutt +3

Photon counting detector systems on sounding rocket payloads often require interfacing asynchronous outputs with a synchronously clocked telemetry (TM) stream. Though this can be h…

Fabrication of astronomical x-ray reflection gratings using thermally activated selective topography equilibration

Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Chad M. Eichfeld

Thermally activated selective topography equilibration (TASTE) enables the creation of 3D structures in resist using grayscale electron-beam lithography followed by a thermal treat…

X-ray verification of sol-gel resist shrinkage in substrate-conformal imprint lithography for a replicated blazed reflection grating

Jake A. McCoy, Marc A. Verschuuren, Drew M. Miles +1

Surface-relief gratings fabricated through nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are prone to topographic distortion induced by resist shrinkage. Characterizing the impact of this effect o…
