PECVD of hexamethyldisiloxane coatings using extremely asymmetric capacitive RF discharge
An extremely asymmetric low-pressure discharge was used to study the composition of thin films prepared by PECVD using HMDSO as a precursor. The metallic chamber was grounded, while the powered electrode was connected to an RF generator. The ratio between Read More …
A fiber-optic gas sensor and method for the measurement of refractive index dispersion in NIR
This paper presents a method for gas concentration determination based on the measurement of the refractive index dispersion of a gas near the gas resonance in the near-infrared region (NIR). The gas refractive index dispersion line shape is reconstructed from Read More …
THz signal generator using a single DFB laser diode and the unbalanced optical fiber interferometer.
This paper presents a frequency-modulated optical signal generator in the THz band. The proposed method is based on a fast optical frequency sweep of a single narrowband laser diode used together with an optical fiber interferometer. The optical frequency sweep Read More …
Analysis and design consideration of a high sensitivity silicon avalanche photodiode receiver for low frequency applications
Silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are designed predominantly for high-speed communication applications, but they can also offer interesting low-light application solutions in lower frequency bands.
