Silicon Integrated Dual-Mode Interferometer with Differential Outputs
The dual-mode interferometer (DMI) is an attractive alternative to Mach-Zehnder interferometers for sensor purposes, achieving sensitivities to refractive index changes close to state-of-the-art. Modern designs on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platforms offer thermally stable and compact devices with insertion losses of less than 1 dB and high extinction ratios. Compact arrays of multiple DMIs in ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Optical Transient Sensor
The implementation of a compact continuous-time optical transient sensor with commercial CMOS technology is presented. In its basic version, this sensor consists of a photodiode, five transistors and a capacitor. The proposed circuit produces several output signals in parallel. These include a sustained, logarithmically compressed measure of the incoming irradiance, half-wave rectified and thre...
متن کاملSome theory of a dual-polarization interferometer for sensor applications
It is shown that by making straightforward approximations it is possible to simplify the analysis of the measurements of a well-established dual-waveguide interferometer for sensor applications. In particular we derive approximate algebraic formulae for the mode phase shifts that are measured in the interferometric sensor when a layer of the entity to be detected is deposited. Knowledge of the ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Analog Optical Motion Sensor
Future machines that interact flexibly with their environment must process raw sensory data and extract meaningful information from them. Vision is a valuable means of gathering a variety of information about the external environment. The extraction of motion in the visual field, although only a small part of vision processing, provides signals useful in tracking moving objects and gives clues ...
متن کاملSensor based on an integrated optical microcavity.
A novel integrated optical sensor based on a cylindrical microcavity (MC) is proposed. A MC sustains so-called whispering-gallery modes (WGMs), in which the energy of the optical field can be efficiently stored. By monitoring the scattering intensity from the MC, one can detect minute changes in the refractive index of the WGM, for instance, as a result of analyte adsorption. Measurement of a c...
