This paper shows how to reduce the temperature dependence of a temporary optical coupler that enables us output signal light from bent fiber by aligning probe in path leaked and input fiber. We experimentally demonstrate coupling efficiency between fibers is significantly improved reducing misalignment these created changes. First, we confirm comparing calculation results measured values conven...

Small ligands and their receptors are widely used non-covalent couplers in various biotech applications. One prominent example, the digoxigenin-antibody complex, was often used to immobilize samples for single molecule force measurements by optical trap or AFM. Here, we employed dynamic AFM spectroscopy to demonstrate that a single digoxigenin-antibody bond is likely to fail even under moderate...

An optical fiber can potentially have more than 30 THz of bandwidth that can be exploited by future generation broadband ISDN networks. However, because of the mismatch between optical transmission and electronic processing, the network transmission rate cannot exceed few Gbps. One popular solution to this problem is to employ wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) by fragmenting the whole band...

The performance of three optoelectronic structures incorporating substrate-embedded InP-based inverted metal–semiconductor–metal photodetectors and/or volume holographic gratings are analyzed and compared at the primary optical communication wavelengths. These structures, in conjunction with optical-quality polymer layers, can be easily integrated into silicon microelectronic substrates for the...

Design, fabrication, packaging, and characterization of a high finesse Ti:LiNbO3 integrated optical ring resonator are reported. First results of rotation rate sensing are presented. Introduction Optical rotation rate sensors utilizing the Sagnac effect are attractive devices, which in contrast to their mechanical counterparts have no moving parts [1]. Active ring laser gyroscopes and passive f...
