摘要:
A system and method is provided which compensates for the effects of relaxation oscillations and turn-on delays of diode laser devices. In particular, there is provided a method and system for tuning the shape of the power profile of an output optical signal and its position with respect to a channel bit clock of an optical recording system.
摘要:
The invention relates to a microelectronic sensor device for the examination of target particles (1) that are bound to binding sites (3) at the binding surface (12) of a carrier (11). In a preferred embodiment, an input light beam (L1) is transmitted into the carrier (11), where a frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) takes place at the binding surface (12). The amount of light in a resulting output light beam (L2) is detected by a light detector (31) and provides information about the presence of target particles at the binding surface. Moreover, an actuation unit (50) induces movements of the bound target particles (1) by an interaction with a magnetic field (B) or an electric field, particularly with a given modulation frequency (COIn), such that by a demodulation of the detector signal (S) effects of the target particles can be distinguished from background.
摘要:
The invention relates to a microelectronic sensor device and a method for making optical examinations at a carrier (11), e.g. for the detection of magnetic particles (1) at a contact surface (12) of the carrier (11) by frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR). A light source (21), particularly a laser light source, with a laser modulator (22) are used for emitting an input light beam (L1) into the carrier (11) which is modulated such that optical interferences with reflections (L1′) of the input light beam (L1) from the entrance window (14) or other components of the carrier (11) are reduced/minimized. This can for example be achieved by a pulsed on/off modulation in which the first relaxation minimum of a currently emitted pulse (PN) coincides in the light source (21) with the first relaxation maximum of a reflected pulse (PN-1′). By reducing the effect of interferences, the setup is less prone to disturbances from dimensional variations that are e.g. induced by thermal extension.
摘要:
The invention relates to a microelectronic sensor device for the detection of target components that comprise label particles, for example magnetic particles (1). The sensor device comprises a carrier (11) with a binding surface (12) at which target components can collect and optionally bind to specific capture elements. An input light beam (L1) is transmitted into the carrier and totally internally reflected at the binding surface (12). The amount of light in the output light beam (L2) and optionally also of fluorescence light emitted by target components at the binding surface is then detected by a light detector (31). Evanescent light generated during the total internal reflection is affected (absorbed, scattered) by target components and/or label particles (1) at the binding surface (12) and will therefore be missing in the output light beam (L2). This can be used to determine the amount of target components at the binding surface (12) from the amount of light in the output light beam (L2, L2a, L2b). A magnetic field generator (41) is optionally used to generate a magnetic field (B) at the binding surface (12) by which magnetic label particles (1) can be manipulated, for example 15 attracted or repelled.
摘要:
For optical data storage applications, for example, for holographic storage applications, a radiation beam (12) with a flat intensity profile is needed. The radiation source device (1) of the invention comprises a beam shaper element (5) and a collimating element (7) between a semiconductor laser (3) and an output coupler (9) and provides such a radiation beam (12) with an increased efficiency. An external resonator is thereby provided. Further, a relatively fast tuning of the wavelength of the output radiation beam (12) can be provided.

An optical scanning device for scanning an information layer of an optical record carrier and including a rotary aim (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) which is arranged to swing about a rotation axis (CR) to alter an angular position of the rotary arm about the rotation axis; a detector arrangement (10) arranged separate from the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) for detecting a radiation beam spot, the radiation beam spot (40; 140; 240; 340; 440; 540) having an angular disposition; a first reflective surface (4; 104; 204; 304; 404; 504) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502); a second reflective surface (6; 106; 206; 306; 406; 506) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 302; 402; 502); a first light path (LP 1; LP 1 O 1; LP201; LP301; LP401; LP501; running from a location on the record carrier to said first reflective surface; a second light path (LP2; LP102; LP202; LP302; LP402; LP502) running from said first reflective surface to said second reflective surface; a third light path (LP3; LP103; LP203; LP303; LP403; LP503) running from said second reflective surface to said detector arrangement (10). The rotary arm includes at least one optical inversion element (52; 54; 56; 58; 64; 66) arranged such that a dependence between variation of the angular disposition of the radiation beam spot and variation of the angular position of the rotary arm is reduced.
