Abstract:
Techniques for lens-free imaging using optical resonance, including providing a series of standing waves indexed by a wave vector to an optical resonator having a predetermined dispersion relation. The intensity of the wavelengths corresponding to the standing waves can be measured with a photodetector. A magnitude and shift of the wave vector corresponding to each of the standing waves can be determined, and spatial information in k-space can be determined from the magnitude and shift of the wave vector corresponding to each of the standing waves using an inversion relationship. A transform can be applied to the spatial information to generate an image.
Abstract:
Techniques for measuring the topography of a surface using a device including a semiconductor slab having a distal end and a base region, and an air slot therein. A sensor tip can be coupled to the slab below the air-slot. A photonic crystal including a lattice pattern with a cavity region defined by a local perturbation in the lattice pattern can be integrated into the semiconductor slab above and below the air slot, thereby providing a split-cavity photonic crystal resonator integrated into the semiconductor slab.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for precision optical imaging of electrical currents and temperature in integrated circuits are disclosed herein. In one aspect of the disclosed subject matter, a method for detecting a characteristic of an integrated circuit can include depositing at least one diamond structure, having at least one color center therein, onto a side of the integrated circuit.
