    • English
    Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications introduces sensors as an important application area for integrated photonics. It provides a brief historical perspective and highlights key free-space spectroscopic sensing techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SPR, and reflectometry, and it thoroughly explores the advantages of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) sensor systems, which have the potential for low SWAP-C and high performance.The topics covered include sensor system components such as waveguides (for optical wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), ring resonators and toroids, photonic crystals, MZ interferometers, light input and output, light sources (wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), and spectrometers and detectors. The book considers integrated systems that employ biofunctionalization... for applications in chem–bio sensing, and it also addresses sensor manufacturing at scale, including materials, PDK development, and sensor packaging.
  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 118
    • English
    Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
