Quantum limit of optical magnetometry in the presence of ac-Stark shifts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We analyze systematic (classical) and fundamental (quantum) limitations of the sensitivity of optical magnetometers resulting from ac-Stark shifts. We show that in contrast to absorption-based techniques, the signal reduction associated with classical ...

An Examination of Aerosol Jet‐Printed Surface Roughness and its Impact on the Performance of High‐Frequency Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores aerosol jet‐printed (AJP) surface roughness, its effects on the performance of microwave electronics, and its process contributors. First, an electromagnetic model is vetted for AJP's unique roughness signature. Simulations are built which show process‐induced roughness is as significant as conductor resistivity in driving microwave

Integrated waveguide-based acousto-optic modulation with near-unity conversion efficiency [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Acousto-optic modulation in piezoelectric materials offers the efficient method to bridge electrical and optical signals. It is widely used to control optical frequencies and intensities in modern optical systems including Q-switch lasers, ion traps, and optical tweezers.

The merit of using silicon for the development of hearing aid microphones and intraocular pressure sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
An important design rule for a hearing aid is the requirement of a large signal to noise ratio, which is mainly determined by that of the microphone and its preamplifier.

Shape Memory Polymer‐Based Hook‐and‐Loop Fastener for Robust Bonding and on‐Demand Easy Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D shape memory polymer‐based hook‐and‐loop fastener, fabricated using projection microstereolithography and molding, offers tunable bonding strength through temperature control. When heated from 25 to 70 °C, the fastener softens and deforms easily, reducing bonding strength by 20‐fold for on‐demand easy separation.

X‐Ray Computed Tomography Quantifies Primary Phases and Reveals Crack Morphology in High‐Cycle Fatigue of Aluminum Alloy EN AW‐2618A

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Primary phases and a fatigue crack are studied in a forged blank of an aluminum alloy using synchrotron and laboratory X‐ray computed tomography. To image the crack, the fatigue test is interrupted, and a static tensile load is applied to open the crack.

ASE Noise in Raman Amplifiers: Pump Depletion Impact [PDF]

open access: yesRadioengineering, 2018
This paper provides a detailed analysis for the effect of pump depletion on amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power, optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), and noise figure (NF) in forward pumped distributed Raman fiber amplifier (DRFA).

A Modulation Format Identification Method Based on Amplitude Deviation Analysis of Received Optical Communication Signal

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
Modulation format identification (MFI) is necessary for future elastic optical networks. We propose an MFI scheme based on the amplitude deviation analysis of the received optical communication signal.

The 12C/13C-ratio in cool carbon stars [PDF]

open access: yesA&A (2000), 359, 586, 2000
We present observations of circumstellar millimetre-wave 13CO line emission towards a sample of 20 cool carbon stars. Using a detailed radiative transfer model we estimate the circumstellar 12CO/13CO-ratios, which we believe accurately measure the important stellar 12C/13C-ratios.

Power Efficient Communication for Low Signal to Noise Ratio Optical Links

open access: yes, 2021
Receiver sensitivity is a particularly important metric in optical communication links operating at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), for example in deep-space communication, since it directly limits the maximum achievable reach and data rate. Pulse position modulation (PPM) with direct detection photon-counting detectors are the most power-efficient ...
