Microphotonic filters require precise control of the relative resonance frequencies of integrated dielectric micro-cavities. Using high-index-contrast microring resonators, we present, demonstrate, and analyze techniques allowing small and accurate corrections of resonance frequencies at fabrication. ©2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.4000) M...

Integrated optics is an extreme useful technology for the production of high sensitive and compact devices for biosensing purposes. Devices can be further integrated in complete lab-on-a-chip platforms for point-of-care diagnostics. Keywords-optical biosensor; interferometer; point-of-care; microfluidics, grating couplers.

Here we propose a design for a broadband electro-optic absorption modulator. The device is simply a 50μm long silicon waveguide with integrated Schottky diodes. It achieves 64% modulation depth up to at least 10 Gb/s. 2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.2090) Electro-optical devices; (230.4110) Modulators

Your thesaurus codes are: 03(03.09.2) Abstract. We report first white-light interferograms obtained with an integrated optics beam combiner on a glass plate. These results demonstrate the feasability of single-mode interferometric beam combination with integrated optics technology presented and discussed in paper I (Malbet et al. 1999). The demonstration is achieved in laboratory with off-the-s...

Dielectric waveguides are the structures that are used to confine and guide the light in the guided-wave devices and circuits of integrated optics. This chapter is devoted to the theory of these waveguides. Other chapters of this book discuss their fabrication by such techniques as sputtering, diffusion, ion implantation or epitaxial growth. A wellknown dielectric waveguide is, of course, the o...

Conventional image sensors have improved with technology scaling mainly by reducing pixel size to increase spatial resolution [1,2]. As resolution approaches the limits of existing optics, is there much to gain from further pixel scaling? In [3], we argue that further scaling can provide new imaging capabilities via a multi-aperture (MA) architecture, which consists of an array of small submicr...

For detection of massive close-in exo-planets around other stars, a contrast of ∼ 0.3% is sufficient and can be achieved with state-of-the-art single-mode fibers as spatial filter. For lower-mass planets, much higher accuracy is neccessary. Apart from the atmosphere, there are several sources of noise which degrade the phase stability of interferometers based on bulk optics by changes in the op...

We report first white-light interferograms obtained with an integrated optics beam combiner on a glass plate. These results demonstrate the feasability of singlemode interferometric beam combination with integrated optics technology presented and discussed in Paper I (Malbet et al. 1999). The demonstration is achieved in laboratory with off-the-shelves components coming from micro-sensor applic...

Spectroscopic investigations reveal the presence of a fast quenching process in erbium-doped aluminum oxide waveguides. We quantify the percentage of quenched ions and make predictions about the amplifier performance. Optical amplifiers; integrated optics materials; fast quenching processes; aluminum oxide
