University of Rochester researchers have packaged a way of amplifying interferometric signals using inverse weak value amplification - without increase in extraneous input or 'noise' - on an integrated photonic chip
Rockley has invested in Caltech’s Sensing to Intelligence (S2I) centre to support a range of projects, including the development of new integrated spectrometer technologies using advanced photonics sensors
The new method recorded 6GB of data in a one-inch silica glass sample, with each square measuring just 8.8 x 8.8mm. (Image: Yuhao Lei and Peter G. Kazansky, University of Southampton)
Such discs would offer storage 10,000 times denser than Blu-Ray discs
A metasurface made of arsenic trisulfide nanowires (yellow) transmit an incoming near-infrared frequency (red) as well as its third harmonic ultraviolet frequency (violet), which would normally be absorbed by the material. Image: Duke University
Chalcogenide glasses could now find a home in applications such as underwater communications, environmental monitoring and biological imaging
The centre will be a key supplier of skilled personnel into industry
'Everything is done on a single chip – we are working to detect seven different analytes simultaneously in less than 30 minutes (including sample preparation time).'
