Abstract:
An optical device, a method of configuring an optical device, and a method of using a fiber Bragg grating is provided. The optical device includes a fiber Bragg grating, a narrowband optical source, and at least one optical detector. The fiber Bragg grating has a power transmission spectrum as a function of wavelength with one or more resonance peaks, each comprising a local maximum and two non-zero-slope regions with the local maximum therebetween. The light generated by the narrowband optical source has a wavelength at a non-zero-slope region of a resonance peak that is selected such that one or more of the following quantities, evaluated at the resonance peak, is at a maximum value: (a) the product of the group delay spectrum and the power transmission spectrum and (b) the product of the group delay spectrum and one minus the power reflection spectrum.

Abstract:
A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) device includes a substrate, a distributed Bragg reflector on the substrate, a seed layer of a metal nitride on the distributed Bragg reflector, and a superconductive wire on the seed layer. The distributed Bragg reflector includes a plurality of bi-layers, each bi-layer including lower layer of a first material and an upper layer of a second material having a higher index of refraction than the first material. The wire is a metal nitride different from the metal nitride of the seed material.

본 발명은 아조벤젠 폴리머가 코팅된 광섬유 브래그 격자(FBG:Fiber Bragg Grating) 기반의 광 반응부, 및 상기 광 반응부의 상부에 구비되어 자외선 광에 노출시 상기 광 반응부에 자외선을 집광시키는 렌즈를 포함하는 렌즈를 결합한 광섬유 브래그 격자 기반 자외선 광센서를 제공한다. 본 발명의 렌즈를 결합한 광섬유 브래그 격자 기반 자외선 광센서에 따르면, 아조벤젠 폴리머가 코팅된 광섬유 브래그 격자(FBG:Fiber Bragg Grating) 기반의 광 반응부에 자외선 광을 집광시키는 렌즈가 구비되어 자외선 광을 광 반응부에 고르게 집속시킴으로써 아조벤젠 폴리머의 부피 변화가 빠르게 발생되고 이로 인하여 광섬유 브래그 격자의 간격변형이 빠르게 발생되며 아울러 광섬유의 중심파장에 변화가 민감하게 발생하여 자외선 광에 대한 반응도(민감도)를 크게 높일 수 있게 되는 효과가 있다.
