この電子書籍について

Photonic Integrated Circuits for Sensing Applications delves into the fascinating world of sensors within the realm of integrated photonics. The book begins with a historical overview, tracing the evolution of spectroscopic sensing techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SPR, and reflectometry, each contributing to the field's growth. It emphasizes the transformative potential of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) sensor systems by showcasing their advantages in achieving low SWAP-C metrics (size, weight, power, and cost) while maintaining high performance. Complete with technical insights, the book sets the stage for understanding how PICs are revolutionizing sensing applications across diverse industries.Beyond the introductory scope, the book thoroughly examines the components that constitute PIC sensor systems, including waveguides (operating below and above 1550 nm), ring resonators, photonic crystals, and MZ interferometers. It also explores integrated systems designed for chem–bio sensing applications, leveraging biofunctionalization and sorbent technologies. With attention to manufacturing scalability, topics such as materials, PDK development, and sensor packaging are addressed, ensuring readers grasp the practical aspects of producing advanced sensor systems at scale. - Focuses on an important applications area of interest to readers from materials science, electrical engineering, optical engineering, nanotechnology, and manufacturing - Allows readers to understand the different PIC technologies available, along with their characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and key challenges - Delves into the fascinating world of sensors within the realm of integrated photonics

著者について

Anu Agarwal is a Principal Research Scientist at MIT, where she is developing an integrated Si-CMOS compatible platform of linear and non-linear materials for photonic devices and systems, especially in the mid-IR regime, for hyperspectral imaging and chem-bio sensing, because most chemical pollutants and biological toxins have their fingerprints in this range.

Benjamin Miller joined the University of Rochester faculty in 1996, where he is currently Dean’s Professor of Dermatology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, and Optics. His group’s expertise in interferometric and photonic sensing has been applied to the development of several novel optical biosensor platforms, and his group’s work on RNA-targeted drug discovery has resulted in synthetic compounds targeting RNAs involved in several human diseases.

Juejun (JJ) Hu is currently the John F. Elliott Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. His primary research interest covers new optical materials exemplified by chalcogenide compounds, as well as enhanced photon-matter interactions in nanophotonic structures. He has authored and coauthored over 150 refereed journal publications and technologies developed in his lab have led to several spin-off companies.
