In certain embodiments, an optical device and a method of use is provided. The optical device can include a fiber Bragg grating and a narrowband optical source. The narrowband optical source can be configured to generate light.
An optical sensor includes at least one optical coupler and an optical waveguide in optical communication with the at least one optical coupler. The optical waveguide is configured to receive a first optical signal from the at least one optical coupler.
An acoustic sensor and a method of fabricating an acoustic sensor are provided. The acoustic sensor includes at least one photonic crystal structure and an optical fiber having an end optically coupled to the at least one photonic crystal structure.
This optical gyroscope uses a unidirectional coupled-resonator waveguide to enhance the Sagnac effect. Thus, this device offers greater sensitivity to rotation than conventional resonant or interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes.
The Nanophotonic Light-Field (NLF) sensor enables a new generation of light field cameras capable of high sensitivity, high pixel density and faster shutter speeds.
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
