Abstract
A filter for use with an array of ultra-small resonant structures that are producing encoded EMR wherein the filter is designed to either reflect encoded EMR beams or to permit certain frequencies to pass there through so that the encoded EMR beam and its encoded data can be transmitted out of the device and to another receiver where the data can be used.
Claims11
A filter for use with chips on which encoded electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is being produced by at least one ultra-small resonant structure mounted on the chip comprising:
- a substrate, an ultra-small resonant structure transmitter mounted to the substrate, the ultra small resonant structure emitting encoded EMR when a charged partical beam passes thereby but does not touch the ultra small resonant structure and a cover mounted there above, wherein the cover is formed to reflect a first set of selected frequencies of the encoded EMR and to permit a second set of selected frequencies to pass there through.
Apparatus comprising:
- a substrate;
- an ultra-small resonant structure transmitter formed on the substrate emitting encoded electromagnetic radiation (EMR) when a charged partical beam passes thereby but does not touch the ultra small resonant structure;
- and
- a filter cover mounted above the transmitter,
- wherein the filter cover is formed to reflect a first set of selected frequencies of the encoded EMR and to permit a second set of selected frequencies to pass there through.
