Micro-Current Source Generated by a WGM of Light Within a Stacked Silicon-Graphene-Au Waveguide

A micro-current source using the drive electron mobility model is proposed by using the non-linear micro-ring resonator. The system consists of a nonlinear microring resonator known as Panda ring resonator made of InGaAsP/InP. The stacked waveguide (plasmonic island) of silicon-graphene-gold is formed at the center of the Panda ring, through which the whispering gallery mode (WGM) of light can be controlled and generated by the central ring it allows the driven electron mobility within the gold layer that can increase WGM beam acceleration and device current density with respect to the input optical power and ring parameters. The simulation results are obtained using the Opti-wave and MATLAB software programs. Results have shown that the relationship between the input of optical power and driven output current density can be obtained.

Molecular filter on-chip design for drug targeting use.

Abstract This paper presents the use of a modified add/drop optical filter incorporating with microring resonators known as a PANDA microring resonator system which can fabricate on small chip. By using an optical tweezer, the required molecules can be trapped and moved to the required destinations at the add/drop ports. The novelty is that the stored molecules in the designed chip can transport via the optical waveguide and can also be used to form molecular filter, which is an important technique for drug delivery, drug targeting, and molecular electronics. Results have shown that the multivariable filter can be obtained by tunable trapping control.

Laser-Induced Graphite Plasma Kinetic Spectroscopy under Different Ambient Pressures

The laser induced plasma dynamics of graphite material are investigated by optical emission spectroscopy. Ablation and excitation of the graphite material is performed by using an 1064nm Nd:YAG laser in different ambient pressures. Characteristics of graphite spectra as line intensity variations and signal-to-noise ratio are presented with a main focus on the influence of the ambient pressure on the interaction of laser-induced graphite plasma with an ambient environment. Atomic emission lines are utilized to investigate the dynamical behavior of plasma, such as the excitation temperature and electron density, to describe emission differences under different ambient conditions. The excitation temperature and plasma electron density are the primary factors which contribute to the differences among the atomic carbon emission at different ambient pressures. Reactions between the plasma species and ambient gas, and the total molecular number are the main factors influencing molecular carbon emission. The influence of laser energy on the plasma interaction with environment is also investigated to demonstrate the dynamical behavior of carbon species so that it can be utilized to optimize plasma fluctuations.

Multifunction interferometry using the electron mobility visibility and mean free path relationship

A conventional Michelson interferometer is modified and used to form the various types of interferometers. The basic system consists of a conventional Michelson interferometer with silicon‐graphene‐gold embedded between layers on the ports. When light from the monochromatic source is input into the system via the input port (silicon waveguide), the change in optical path difference (OPD) of light traveling in the stacked layers introduces the change in the optical phase, which affects to the electron mean free path within the gold layer, induces the change in the overall electron mobility can be seen by the interferometer output visibility. Further plasmonic waves are introduced on the graphene thin film and the electron mobility occurred within the gold layer, in which the light‐electron energy conversion in terms of the electron mobility can be observed, the gold layer length is 100 nm. The measurement resolution in terms of the OPD of ∼ 50 nm is achieved. In applications, the outputs of the drop port device of the modified Michelson interferometer can be arranged by the different detectors, where the polarized light outputs, the photon outputs, the electron spin outputs can be obtained by the interference fringe visibility, mobility visibility and the spin up‐down splitting output energies. The modified Michelson interferometer theory and the detection schemes are given in details.

Ultra-short Laser Pulse Generated by a Microring Resonator System for Cancer Cell Treatment

Abstract A microring resonator (MRRs) system incorporated with a add/drop filter is proposed in which ultra-short single, multi-temporal, and spatial optical soliton pulses are simulated and used to kill abnormal cells, tumors, and cancer. Chaotic signals are generated by a bright soliton pulse within a nonlinear MRRs system. Gold nanoparticles and ultra-short femtosecond/picosecond laser pulses’ interaction holds great interest in laser nanomedicine. By using appropriate soliton input power and MRRs parameters, desired spatial and temporal signals can be generated over the spectrum. Results show that short temporal and spatial solitons pulse with FWHM = 712 fs and FWHM = 17.5 pm could be generated. The add/drop filter system is used to generate the high-capacity, ultra-short soliton pulses in the range of nanometer/second and picometer/second.

Optical manipulation of nano-micro needle array for large volume molecular diagnosis

Abstract Optical vorticesare generated and controlled to form trapping tools in the same way as optical tweezers. By using the intense optical vortices generated within the PANDA ring resonator, the required atoms/molecules can be trapped and moved (transported) dynamically within the wavelength router or network. The advantage of the proposed system is that a transmitter and receiver can be formed within the same system, which is available for atoms/molecules storage and transportation based on methods that have been proposed to deliver drugs into cells for specific diagnosis.

Microring stereo sensor model using Kerr–Vernier effect for bio-cell sensor and communication

In this paper, a micro-stereo sensor is proposed using two-identical Panda-ring resonators, which are coupled by jointed drop ports. When light from the identical coherent sources is fed into the system via the input ports, the coupling outputs are obtained at the drop port at the resonant condition. These are mixed signals in the form of stereo signals. By using different input power between the right and left systems, the phase difference generated by the Kerr-Effect in the non-linear medium leads to the shift in the coupling outputs. The shift in the center wavelength is the primary measurement of interest along with coupling crosstalk signals that are also visible at the output. The measurement self-calibration of the two channels is confirmed by the mixed channel signals. In the manipulation, the crosstalk signals can be used to interpret the cross-communication of bio-cells. The crosstalk results have shown the optical crosstalks of ∼2.0 and ∼2.5 dB are calculated and obtained, respectively. The stereo sensor sensitivity of ∼5.70 nmW−1is noted.
