We report angle dependent and temperature dependent (9 K–300 K) photo-modulated reflectance (PR) studies on vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) structures, designed for 2.3 lm mid-infrared gas sensing applications. Changing the temperature allows us to tune the energies of the quantum well (QW) transitions relative to the VCSEL cavity mode (CM) energy. These studies show that this VC...

The paper reports on temperature behavior of strain sensitivity of recently introduced screen printing technology facilitating the realization of silver and carbon black piezoresistors embedded in organic coatings. Piezoresistive layers were prepared by screen printing directly on the top of the organic coating. Since no glue or carrying substrates are between the sensitive element and the devi...

The main objective of this paper is to explain the functioning of a device, designed to sense the real time motion changes of an object. This motion sensing device Digital Accelerometer can be used to sense any change in the position of an object with respect to its original position, all along the three axes. This Digital accelerometer is to be put into its function controlled by a Field Progr...

in the present study, we investigate dc conduction mechanism of electron beam evaporated   bromoaluminium phthalocyanine (bralpc) thin films using aluminum and gold electrodes. the current-voltage characteristics of sandwich type device are evaluated for the temperature range 298-413k under dark conditions. it is observed that the current passing through the device is increased by increasing te...

We investigate the sensing performance of a single-qubit quantum thermometer within non-Markovian dynamical framework. By employing an exactly numerical hierarchical equations motion method, we go beyond traditional paradigms Born-Markov theory, pure dephasing mechanism, and weak-coupling approximation, which were commonly used in many previous studies thermometry. find (i) characteristics may ...

one of the bio-sensing mechanisms is mechanical. rather than measuring shift in resonance frequency, we adopt to measure the change in spring constant due to adsorption, as one of the fundamental sensing mechanism. this study explains  determination of spring constant of a surface functionalized micro machined micro cantilever, which resonates in a trapezoidal cavity-on silicon wafer, with the ...

In this paper, the noise equivalent power (NEP) of an optical sensor based ongraphene-superconductor junctions in the constant current mode of operation has beencalculated. Furthermore, the necessary investigations to optimize the device noise withrespect to various parameters such as the operating temperature, magnetic field, deviceresistance, voltage and current bias have been presented. By s...

A new room temperature supra-molecular cryptophane A (CrypA)-coated surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for sensing methane gas is presented. The sensor is composed of differential resonator-oscillators, a supra-molecular CrypA coated along the acoustic propagation path, and a frequency signal acquisition module (FSAM). A two-port SAW resonator configuration with low insertion loss, single reson...

OBJECTIVE This work presents a method to determine the surface temperature of microphotonic medical implants like LEDs. Our inventive step is to use the photonic emitter (LED) employed in an implantable device as its own sensor and develop readout circuitry to accurately determine the surface temperature of the device. APPROACH There are two primary classes of applications where microphotonic...
