    摘要: An optical resonator, a photonic system and a method of optical resonance employ optical waveguide segments connected together with total internal reflection (TIR) mirrors to form a closed loop. The optical resonator includes the optical waveguide segments, the TIR mirrors and a photo-tunneling input/output (I/O) port. The photo-tunneling I/O port includes one of the TIR mirrors. The method includes propagating and reflecting an optical signal, or a portion thereof, in the optical resonator, and transmitting a portion of the optical signal through the photo-tunneling I/O port. The photonic system includes the optical resonator and a source of an optical signal.

    摘要: Lithography tools and substrates are aligned by generating geometric interference patterns using optical gratings associated with the lithography tools and substrates. In some embodiments, the relative position between a substrate and lithography tool is adjusted to cause at least one geometric shape to have a predetermined size or shape representing acceptable alignment. In additional embodiments, Moiré patterns that exhibit varying sensitivity are used to align substrates and lithography tools. Furthermore, lithography tools and substrates are aligned by causing radiation to interact with optical gratings positioned between the lithography tools and substrates. Lithography tools include an optical grating configured to generate a portion of an interference pattern that exhibits a sensitivity that increases as the relative position between the tools and a substrate moves towards a predetermined alignment position.

    摘要: Raman systems include a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a Raman device or signal-enhancing structure. Raman devices include a tunable resonant cavity and a Raman signal-enhancing structure coupled to the cavity. The cavity includes a first reflective member, a second reflective member, and an electro-optic material disposed between the reflective members. The electro-optic material exhibits a refractive index that varies in response to an applied electrical field. Raman signal-enhancing structures include a substantially planar layer of Raman signal-enhancing material having a major surface, a support structure extending from the major surface, and a substantially planar member comprising a Raman signal-enhancing material disposed on an end of the support structure opposite the layer of Raman signal-enhancing material. The support structure separates at least a portion of the planar member from the layer of Raman signal-enhancing material by a selected distance of less than about fifty nanometers.
