摘要:
A multiplexer has an optical circulator including at least first, second and third circulator ports. An optical fiber with a first optical transmission path is coupled to the first circulator port of the optical circulator. The optical fiber carries a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal, including signals &lgr;1-&lgr;n, and at least one signal &lgr;1 to be dropped by the multiplexer. A second optical transmission path is in optical communication with the second circulator port. A first filter is coupled to the second optical transmission path. The first filter passes a portion of the &lgr;1 signal, and reflects a first residual &lgr;1 signal and signals &lgr;2-&lgr;n to the optical circulator. A third optical transmission path is in optical communication with the third circulator port and transmits the signals &lgr;2-&lgr;n received from the optical circulator.

A wafer assembly that includes a wafer substrate. A plurality of micro-optomechanical or micro-optoelectrical devices are positioned on a surface of the wafer substrate. Each micro-optomechanical or micro-optoelectrical device has a seal surface. A plurality of seal caps are coupled to the micro-optomechanical or micro-optoelectrical devices. Each seal cap has a seal ring. The seal cap seal ring is coupled to a seal surface of the micro-optomechanical or micro-optoelectrical device to form a hermetic seal.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for detection of peak wavelength values of colorimetric resonant optical biosensors using tunable filters and tunable lasers is provided. Biomolecular interactions may be detected on a biosensor by directing collimated white light towards a surface of the biosensor. Molecular binding on the surface of the biosensor is indicated by a shift in the peak wavelength value of reflected or transmitted light from the biosensor, while an increase in the wavelength corresponds to an increase in molecular absorption. A tunable laser light source may generate the collimated white light and a tunable filter may receive the reflected or transmitted light and pass the light to a photodiode sensor. The photodiode sensor then quantifies an amount of the light reflected or transmitted through the tunable filter as a function of the tuning voltage of the tunable filter.
摘要:
A neutron generator includes a conductive substrate comprising a plurality of conductive nanostructures with free-standing tips and a source of an atomic species to introduce the atomic species in proximity to the free-standing tips. A target placed apart from the substrate is voltage biased relative to the substrate to ionize and accelerate the ionized atomic species toward the target. The target includes an element capable of a nuclear fusion reaction with the ionized atomic species to produce a one or more neutrons as a reaction by-product.
