An overview of the most recent developments and improvements to low-loss TriPleX Si 3 N 4 waveguide technology is presented in this paper.The platform provides a suite geometries (box, double stripe, symmetric single asymmetric stripe) that can be combined design complex functional circuits, but more important are manufactured monolithic process flow create compact photonic integrated circuit.All functionalities circuit constructed using standard basic building blocks, namely straight bent...
Optical methods based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are becoming popular in many life science applications. We report two trace gas detection schemes continuous wave QCLs for on-line of nitric oxide (NO) at the sub-part-per-billion level by volume (ppbv, 1:10−9), using wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) and Faraday rotation (FRS) 1894 cm−1 1875.73 cm−1, respectively. Several technical incremental steps discussed to further improve sensitivity these methods. Examples included...
We present a high power, widely tunable, continuous wave external cavity quantum cascade laser designed for infrared vibrational spectroscopy of molecules exhibiting broadband and single line absorption features. The source exhibits mode operation with tunability up to 303 cm−1 (∼24% the center wavelength) at 8 μm, maximum optical output power 200 mW. In combination off-axis integrated spectroscopy, trace-gas detection gases such as acetone was performed noise equivalent sensitivity 3.7 ×...
In this work, we demonstrate the first stress-optic modulator in a silicon nitride-based waveguide platform (TriPleX) telecommunication C-band. our phase refractive index of waveguiding materials is controlled by effect induced actuating 2 μm thick PZT layer on top TriPleX geometry. The efficiency optimized by, amongst others, focusing applied stress core region through local increase cladding. Using Mach-Zehnder interferometer, measured half-wave voltage, V<sub>π</sub>, at 34 V...
An analysis of the absorption and luminescence spectra a Y2SiO5:Pr3+ crystal has revealed existence two Pr3+ optical centers associated with presence impurity ions at nonequivalent cation sites. It is found that energy transported nonradiatively between centers. preliminary transport mechanism carried out.
The next generation of applications in integrated microwave photonics[1], such as optical beam forming networks or programmable photonic processors[2], requires complex chip designs with hundreds even thousands actuators and low propagation losses. While passive material platforms silicon nitride possess ultra-low losses the telecommunication C-Band, today their on-chip phase actuation, however, is solely based on thermo-optic tuners and, hence, suffering from huge power dissipation.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has made it into the clinic in last decade with systems based on bulk optical components. The next disruptive step will be introduction of handheld OCT systems. Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology is key enabler for this further miniaturization. PIC allows signal processing a stable platform and implementation common path interferometer that same creates robust fully integrated system flexible fiber probe. In work first spectral domain described...
