Robust Suite of Technologies Offers Significant Enhancements for Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) Microresonator Sensors and Laser Systems

— WGM microresonators are an immature technology with room for improvement

Microresonators are optical devices that are an important component of microlasers used in optoelectronics, data communications, and sensing. Most microresonators are WGM type, which confine light to a very small volume for si…

Passive and Compact Liquid Metal Heat Switch

— Technology Description

Researchers in Patricia Weisensee’s lab at Washington University have developed a compact liquid metal heat switch with a passive mechanism to control the thermal management system of spacecraft. Unlike other switch mechanisms, the liquid metal version produces high co…

High-speed perovskite LED fabrication by inkjet printing

— Technology Description

Researchers in Chuan Wang’s lab at Washington University have developed a method of fabricating perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) directly on an elastic substrate more than 10X faster than existing methods. Each layer of the PeLED is patterned using a highly scalable inkjet pri…
