Featured Letter

Each month the Editors select a particularly interesting Letter to feature on the homepage of Electronics Letters. This month's Letter is freely available to download:

Trimming of InP-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer by filling side cladding of high-mesa waveguide with resin
Electron. Lett. -- 27 October 2011 -- Volume 47, Issue 22, p.1245–1246

A method for phase trimming InP-based Mach-Zehnder interferometers, which does not require a lithography machine or vacuum chamber, has been demonstrated by a team in Japan. Involving filling the side cladding of the waveguide with resin, the method is suitable for use on wafers, chips and modules and is considered suitable for realising large-scale InP-based photonic integrated circuits.

 

Contributor comments

“We selected Electronics Letters for the publication of our work because it has a record of publishing many of the important results in our field. We also appreciate the efficient processing and the extremely rapid publication. The journal is top notch in these regards.”
Dr James Gupta, National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Canada

“I chose to publish in Electronics Letters because of its very rapid turnaround and short paper length. In my current job I don't have the time to write full blown journal papers, so a letter is quicker and simpler.”
Dr Gavin Watkins, Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK

“We chose to publish in Electronics Letters because of its efficient processing and the extremely rapid publication. I always browse Electronics Letters for the latest developments and achievements in the area of electrical and electronic engineering.”
Jun Liu, Xidian University, People’s Republic of China

“Electronics Letters is one of the best rapid communication journals in the area of electrical and electronic engineering. The newly introduced 'In brief' section, that provides a quick overview of the major advances in the field, is really helpful.”
Shoaib Ehsan, University of Essex, UK

“I chose to publish my paper in Electronics Letters because it has a very broad spectrum of audience, not just limited to electrical engineering but other engineering fields as well. The motivation behind my work was to reach out to as many people as possible and publishing in Electronics Letters serves this purpose greatly.”
Ning-Yi Wang, University of California, USA

“I teach a postgraduate course entitled ‘Introduction to Research’ and in it I use Electronics Letters as an example of how you need to discipline yourself as to accuracy, brevity and novelty.”
Professor Jan Malherbe, University of Pretoria, South Africa 

“I have known Electronics Letters for many years now and consider it a very important journal in its field. The journal is subscribed to by the library of my University and I always browse every new issue.”
