Micromachined Fabry-Pérot interferometer with embedded nanochannels for nanoscale fluid dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a microfabricated Fabry-Pérot interferometer with nanochannels of various heights between 6 and 20 nm embedded in its cavity. By multiple beam interferometry, the device enables the study of liquid behavior in the nanochannels without using fluorescent substances. During filling studies of ethanol and water, an intriguing filling mode for partially wetting water was observed, tentatively attributed to the entrapment of a large amount of gas inside the channels.

A high resolution, passive, bulk-micromachined accelerometer based on the transmission-type intrinsic Fabry–Pérot interferometer has been designed, fabricated and, for the first time, experimentally evaluated via direct inertial characterization. The device characterization includes frequencyand time-domain evaluation. The sensor characteristics of bandwidth, range, sensitivity, and resolution ...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity measurements of the Kerr constant in gases using a Fabry–Pérot-based ellipsometer
The dc-Kerr constant was measured with high sensitivity in several gases, using a novel ellipsometer, which is based on a high-finesse Fabry–Pérot interferometer. An effective interaction length of 5.26 km was achieved by using a Fabry–Pérot interferometer with intracavity electrodes, yielding a single-pass sensitivity of ≈ 10 nanoradian. The dc-Kerr constants of CO2, N2, and O2 were determined...
متن کاملNote: Higher resolution Brillouin spectroscopy by offset stabilization of a tandem Fabry-Pérot interferometer.
A simple modification to a Sandercock-type tandem Fabry-Pérot interferometer is demonstrated. By adding an independent reference laser with temperature tunability, narrow Brillouin lines that are tens GHz shifted from the Rayleigh line can be recorded with much higher frequency resolution than in the original system.
متن کاملWho were Fabry and Pérot?
In 1897 Charles Fabry and Alfred Pérot published their most important article on what we now call the Fabry–Pérot interferometer. Despite the great importance of this instrument for present-day research in physics and astrophysics, its inventors are almost completely unknown to most physicists. This article presents brief accounts of the life and work of Fabry and Pérot, who at the beginning of...
متن کاملPhase modulation with micromachined resonant mirrors for low-coherence fiber-tip pressure sensors.
This letter presents a simple phase modulation scheme for interrogation of low-coherence interferometry based fiber-tip pressure sensors to enable real-time monitoring and miniaturization of the entire sensor system. The key idea is to introduce a sinusoidal modulation signal and retrieve the sensing cavity length change using a simple algorithm, without resorting to any time information. In ex...
