The technology in a nutshell
The present invention relates to a photonic crystal fiber for transferring radially polarised light beam and a method of manufacturing such a fibre.

In this technology a core is made of glass and a photonic cladding surrounding the core comprises nanoholes filled with air or nanorods. The core contains nano-inclusion made of glass or metal. The presence of nano-inclusion introduces birefringence, which causes narrowing of fundamental mode-field area and significantly impedes the excitation of the fundamental mode. This allows to couple and transmit radially polarised light.

The technology in a nutshell

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an active optical fiber, called nanostructuring, in which the fiber core is composed of a few thousand subwavelength rods with similar diameters ordered in the hexagonal lattice. When the rods are made of two or more types of glasses with different refractive indices, their distribution determines the local refractive index experienced by a light beam.

Nanostructuring allows to obtain any gradient arbitrary refractive index profile if the size of a single nanostructured component is much smaller than the wavelength, i.e. λ/5. In active fiber, at least one type of glass is doped with rare earth (RE) ions.

https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/079021691/publication/EP4030624B1?q=pn%3DEP4030624A1
The technology in a nutshell

The subject of the invention is an electrical system for a self-disinfecting touch keyboard with a cold plasma generation function. In short, in the keyboard system, the air is subjected to an electric field exceeding the breakdown voltage (3kV/mm), but there is a dielectric layer on the high-voltage electrode that prevents the arc from igniting. The resulting electric field ionizes the air and produces reactive oxygen species, particularly atomic oxygen and ozone, which have the ability to deactivate microorganisms. Presented solution is based on ceramic technology and can be used in all kinds of terminal devices containing at least one touch key.

Thanks to the use of a cold plasma generator in the touch keypad, the possibility of killing a wide range of harmful human pathogens and chemicals is created, which, considering the consequences of Covid-19 pandemic, is of great importance. Used ceramic technology in our solution is well-suited for making plasma generators and its features such as chemical inertness (no corrosion) and good dielectric strength make it even more interesting in relation to current solutions on the market.

The technology in a nutshell
The object of the invention is a method of producing gold-coated InP nanostructures. Our method is mainly based on two steps the first of which is that, on a monocrystalline InP substrate, nanowires are grown using the method of metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, by introducing trimethylindium and phosphine in a constant manner into the reactor, wherein the carrier gas is hydrogen, wherein the ratio of the flow rate of phosphine to the flow rate of trimethylindium is no higher than 1000, wherein, during the introduction of trimethylindium and phosphine into the reactor, a constant temperature within a range of 370°C to 390°C and a pressure of 100 mbar are maintained.
In the second step, the surface of the grown nanowires is coated with a gold layer by plasma spraying with a direct current of 20 mA. The object of the invention is also the use of gold-coated InP nanostructures as a platform for the measurements of surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
