Abstract
In one example, a method includes placing a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate in a chamber. The first glass substrate has a first surface and the second glass substrate has a second surface. The first glass substrate and the second glass substrate are brought together in the chamber to form a junction between the first and second surfaces. The junction is sealed to form a glass container that encases a dipolar gas when the chamber is filled with the dipolar gas. An EM reflective coating is formed on an outer surface of the glass container.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- forming a dielectric container that encloses a gas or a vapor by sealing a junction between opposing surfaces of a first dielectric substrate and a second dielectric substrate in a chamber that holds the gas or the vapor, at least one of the first or second dielectric substrate including an electronic band gap portion;
- and
- forming an electromagnetic (EM) reflective coating on an outer surface of the dielectric container.
An apparatus comprising:
- a container including a first dielectric portion and a second dielectric portion sealed together and enclosing a gas or a vapor within the container, in which at least one of the first or second dielectric portion includes an electronic band gap portion, the container includes an electromagnetic (EM) reflective coating on an outer surface thereof, and the EM reflective coating includes an opening that allows an EM signal to propagate into or out of the container;
- and
- an antenna at the opening.
A method comprising:
- forming a dielectric container that encloses a gas or a vapor by sealing a junction between opposing surfaces of a first dielectric substrate and a second dielectric substrate in a chamber that holds the gas or the vapor, at least one of the first or second dielectric substrate including trenches or voids;
- and
- forming an electromagnetic (EM) reflective coating on an outer surface of the dielectric container.
An apparatus comprising:
- a container including a first dielectric portion and a second dielectric portion sealed together and enclosing a gas or a vapor within the container, in which at least one of the first or second dielectric portion includes voids or trenches, the container includes an electromagnetic (EM) reflective coating on an outer surface thereof, and the EM reflective coating includes an opening that allows an EM signal to propagate into or out of the container;
- and
- an antenna at the opening.
