    Abstract: Various embodiments may relate to an optical device. The device may include an elongate substrate, an emitter portion at a distal end portion of the elongate substrate, the emitter portion configured to emit light, and an actuator portion at a proximal end portion of the elongate substrate opposite the distal end portion of the elongate substrate. The emitter portion may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and an active layer between the first electrode and the second electrode so that the light is emitted due to an increase in a temperature of the active layer upon application of a first potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode. The active layer may be patterned to form a photonic crystal layer for enhancing directionality of the emitted light.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may relate a chemical sensor. The chemical sensor may include a substrate including a first sealed (or isolated) cavity and a second sealed (or isolated) cavity separate from the first sealed (or isolated) cavity. The chemical sensor may also include an emitter in the first sealed (or isolated) cavity, the emitter configured to emit infrared light. The chemical sensor may further include a detector in the second sealed (or isolated) cavity. The chemical sensor may also include a waveguide configured to carry the infrared light from the emitter to the detector. The waveguide may include a sensing portion configured such that a property of the infrared light carried through the sensing portion changes in response to a chemical entity in contact with the sensing portion. The detector may be configured to detect the change in the property (of the infrared light).

    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide an optical gyroscope. The optical gyroscope may include a ring resonator, an input source configured to generate or provide a first light beam and a second light beam to the ring resonator, and a switching pathway having an input end and an output end coupled to the ring resonator, and may include a plurality of switches. The optical gyroscope may include a control circuit configured to control the plurality of switches to allow the first light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a first time interval, and allow the second light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a second time interval. The optical gyroscope may additionally include a detector loop configured to receive the first light beam and the second light beam from the ring resonator.
