Real-time dynamic sensing with an on-chip nanophotonic sensor

Real-time dynamic sensing with an on-chip nanophotonic sensor.

We demonstrate a nanophotonic sensor for real-time monitoring of fluid flows. The sensor is based on a silicon photonic crystal cavity with a well aligned micro fluidic channel for fluid-injection. The simulated resonant wavelength shift of the sensor with residual oil in holes is 9.0 nm, and the observed experimental shift under the same condition is 10.0 nm. An alternating fluid delivery is a...

determination of an optimized multi-sensor remote sensing index to promote real-time drought monitoring over the heterogeneous land covers

in this article, new index, the optimized synthetized drought index (osdi), is suggested for real-time monitoring of this phenomenon in areas with heterogeneous land covers. the precipitation, one of the important factors in drought, measured by ground stations and improved bytrmm satellite data. each of the three normalized moisture indices, including normalized difference vegetation index (nd...

Time-division-multiplexed arbitration in silicon nanophotonic networks-on-chip for high-performance chip multiprocessors

As the computational performance of microprocessors continues to grow through the integration of an increasing number of processing cores on a single die, the interconnectionnetwork has become the central subsystem for providing the communications infrastructure among the on-chip cores as well as to offchip memory. Silicon nanophotonics as an interconnect technology offers several promising ben...

All-nanophotonic NEMS biosensor on a chip

Integrated chemical and biological sensors give advantages in cost, size and weight reduction and open new prospects for parallel monitoring and analysis. Biosensors based on nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are the most attractive candidates for the integrated platform. However, actuation and transduction techniques (e.g. electrostatic, magnetomotive, thermal or piezoelectric) limit their ...
