Abstract:
A stacked optoelectronic packaged device includes a bottom die having a top surface including bottom electrical traces and a light source die coupled to ≧1 bottom electrical traces. A first cavity die is on the bottom die. An optics die is on the first cavity die and a second cavity die on the optics die. A mounting substrate is on the second cavity die including top electrical traces. A photodetector die is optically coupled to receive light from the light source. The bottom and top electrical traces are both positioned substantially symmetrically on sides of a mirror plane so that when conducting equal and opposite currents a first magnetic field emanating from the first side and a second magnetic field emanating from the second side cancel one another to provide a reduction in magnetic flux density by more than 50% at one or more die locations on the optics die.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating fluxgate devices to measure the magnetic field in two orthogonal, in plane directions, by using a composite-anisotropic magnetic core structure.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a vapor cell having multiple cavities fluidly connected by one or more channels. At least one of the cavities is configured to receive a first material able to dissociate into one or more gases that are contained within the vapor cell. At least one of the cavities is configured to receive a second material able to absorb at least a portion of the one or more gases. The vapor cell could include a first cavity configured to receive the first material and a second cavity fluidly connected to the first cavity by at least one first channel, where the second cavity is configured to receive the gas(es). The vapor cell could also include a third cavity fluidly connected to at least one of the first and second cavities by at least one second channel, where the third cavity is configured to receive the second material.
Abstract:
A photodetector detects the absence or presence of light by detecting a change in the inductance of a coil. The magnetic field generated when a current flows through the coil passes through an electron-hole generation region. Charged particles in the electron-hole generation region come under the influence of the magnetic field, and generate eddy currents whose magnitudes depend on whether light is absent or present. The eddy currents generate a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field generated by current flowing through the coil.
