Abstract: A spectroscopic laser sensor based on hybrid lll-V/IV system-on-a-chip technology. The laser sensor is configured to either (i) be used with a fiber-optic probe connected to an intravenous/intra-arterial optical catheter for direct invasive blood analyte concentration level measurement or (ii) be used to measure blood analyte concentration level non-invasively through an optical interface attached, e.g., to the skin or fingernail bed of a human. The sensor includes a lll-V gain-chip, e.g., an AIGalnAsSb/GaSb based gain-chip, and a photonic integrated circuit, with laser wavelength filtering, laser wavelength tuning, laser wavelength monitoring, laser signal monitoring and signal output sections realized on a chip by combining IV-based semiconductor substrates and flip-chip AIGalnAsSb/GaSb based photodetectors and embedded electronics for signal processing. Embodiments of the invention may be applied for real-time monitoring of critical blood analyte concentration levels such as lactates, urea, glucose, ammonia, albumin, etc.

Abstract: A magnetoelectric (“ME”) device is disclosed. In one aspect, the ME device includes a first piezoelectric substrate portion and a second piezoelectric substrate portion; a magnetostrictive body with a magnetization oriented in a first direction, the magnetostrictive body arranged on and extending between the first and second portions; a pair of input electrodes arranged on the first portion; and a pair of output electrodes arranged on the second portion. The input electrodes are configured to induce a fringing electric field extending between the input electrodes via the first portion, thereby causing a deformation of the first portion which in turn causes a deformation of the magnetostrictive body such that the magnetization thereof is re-oriented to a second direction due to a reverse magnetostriction. An output voltage is induced between the output electrodes by a deformation of the second portion caused by the re-orientation of the magnetization of the magnetostrictive body.
