Integrated optomechanical circuits

Optomechanical circuits are a promising candidate to realize various signal processing functions on a chip. In this paper we review several different NOMS structures fabricated in a silicon-on-insulator platform. © 2010 Optical society of America OCIS-codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (250.4745) Optomechanics

An Intensity-Modulated Optical Fibre Displacement Sensor with Convex Reflector

A novel intensity-modulated optical fibre displacement sensor with convex reflector technology is described. A common form of the intensity-modulated optical fibre sensor performs its measurement by making use of a pair of straight optical fibres with a plane reflector. The reflected optical signal intensity changes as a function of change in displacement. This paper describes an alternative se...

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors integrated with optical nano-antennae.

Optical nano-antennae have been integrated with semiconductor lasers to intensify light at the nanoscale and photodiodes to enhance photocurrent. In quantum optics, plasmonic metal structures have been used to enhance nonclassical light emission from single quantum dots. Absorption and detection of single photons from free space could also be enhanced by nanometallic antennae, but this has not ...

An Integrated Optical Transient Sensor

The implementation of a compact continuous-time optical transient sensor with commercial CMOS technology is presented. In its basic version, this sensor consists of a photodiode, five transistors and a capacitor. The proposed circuit produces several output signals in parallel. These include a sustained, logarithmically compressed measure of the incoming irradiance, half-wave rectified and thre...
