    Abstract: Various embodiments may relate a chemical sensor. The chemical sensor may include a substrate including a first sealed (or isolated) cavity and a second sealed (or isolated) cavity separate from the first sealed (or isolated) cavity. The chemical sensor may also include an emitter in the first sealed (or isolated) cavity, the emitter configured to emit infrared light. The chemical sensor may further include a detector in the second sealed (or isolated) cavity. The chemical sensor may also include a waveguide configured to carry the infrared light from the emitter to the detector. The waveguide may include a sensing portion configured such that a property of the infrared light carried through the sensing portion changes in response to a chemical entity in contact with the sensing portion. The detector may be configured to detect the change in the property (of the infrared light).

    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide a gyroscope. The gyroscope may include a piezoelectric substrate, an excitation transducer configured to generate a surface acoustic wave, and a sensing transducer configured to receive the surface acoustic wave generated by the excitation transducer. The gyroscope may additionally include a mass dot array between the excitation transducer and the sensing transducer, the mass dot array configured to generate a stress on the piezoelectric substrate based on a rotation of said gyroscope upon the surface acoustic wave passing through the mass dot array. The gyroscope may also include a light source, and an optical detector configured to receive one or more light beams generated by the light source to determine the rotation of the gyroscope based on a property of the one or more light beams. The property of the one or more light beams may be variable based on the stress on the piezoelectric substrate.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide an optical gyroscope. The optical gyroscope may include a ring resonator, an input source configured to generate or provide a first light beam and a second light beam to the ring resonator, and a switching pathway having an input end and an output end coupled to the ring resonator, and may include a plurality of switches. The optical gyroscope may include a control circuit configured to control the plurality of switches to allow the first light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a first time interval, and allow the second light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a second time interval. The optical gyroscope may additionally include a detector loop configured to receive the first light beam and the second light beam from the ring resonator.
