    摘要: A sensor apparatus, a sensor system and a method employ coupling characterization of a sensor housing to a local environment. The apparatus includes a vibration sensor and a vibration actuator attached to and enclosed by the sensor housing in a spaced apart relationship. The vibration actuator is configured to vibrate the sensor housing with a vibration signal to excite a coupling between the sensor housing and the local environment. A response of the sensor housing to the vibration signal is indicative of a coupling characteristic of the coupling. The system further includes a coupling structure. The method includes coupling the sensor housing to the local environment, vibrating the sensor housing with the vibration actuator and detecting the response that is indicative of the coupling characteristic.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides optical waveguide coupling devices and associated methods. In one example, an optical waveguide coupling device can comprise a dielectric grating coupler, a first optical waveguide attached to a first surface of the dielectric grating coupler, and a second optical waveguide attached to a second surface of the dielectric grating coupler. The second optical waveguide can be oriented opposed to the first optical waveguide allowing for communication therebetween via the sub-wavelength grating. Additionally, the dielectric grating coupler can comprise a first dielectric material; a sub-wavelength grating attached to the first dielectric material, the sub-wavelength grating having a higher refractive index than the first dielectric material; and a second dielectric material optically coupled to the sub-wavelength grating.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to optical fiber coupling systems and to methods for fabricating optical fiber coupling systems. In one aspect, an optical fiber coupling system includes a first resonant cavity abutting the end of an optical fiber. The optical fiber coupling system includes a second resonant cavity located adjacent to the first cavity. The first and second resonant cavities are separated by a sub-wavelength grating layer configured with a non-periodic sub-wavelength grating. The optical fiber coupling system selectively couples light into and/or out of the optical fiber core.
