Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sensor includes providing a lower cladding layer, depositing a waveguide layer on the lower cladding layer, forming a sensing waveguide and a reference waveguide by photolithography and etching the waveguide layer in places, and forming a photoresist structure-on a part of the sensing waveguide by photolithography. The method also includes depositing an upper cladding layer on the photoresist structure, the sensing waveguide, the reference waveguide, and the lower cladding layer. The method further includes removing the photoresist structure with the part of the upper cladding layer deposited on the photoresist structure so that an opening within the upper cladding layer is formed above the sensing waveguide. The method additionally includes depositing a functionalization material within the opening. From the waveguide layer an auxiliary structure is formed by photolithography and etching the waveguide layer, and the opening is above the auxiliary structure.

Abstract: A particulate matter detector includes a light emitter configured to emit light, a first, a second and a third waveguide, a waveguide splitter, a detector, and a controller. The third waveguide is free of cladding. The first waveguide is coupled to the light emitter and guides emitted light toward the waveguide splitter. The first waveguide includes an interrogation region formed by a cladding-free surface of the first waveguide. During a measurement phase, a first intensity of the light in the first waveguide is set for determining a change in the intensity of the light detected by the detector. An indication of an opacity of the surface of the first waveguide with accumulated particulate matter is output. During a cleaning phase, a second intensity of the light in the first waveguide is set for directing the accumulated particulate matter from the interrogation region to the third waveguide via optical forces.

Abstract: It is proposed to use self-mixing interferometry for determining an absorption. The monitoring device for use in lateral flow testing for detecting presence or amount of an analyte in a liquid includes a housing, the housing including a carrier holder for holding a carrier for transport of the liquid; at least a first light source which is a resonant-cavity light source having a cavity; and an evaluation unit, operationally connected to at least the first light source for detecting a measurement signal. The first light source is structured and arranged to illuminate with light a test range in a test area of a carrier held in the carrier holder; and to couple back into the cavity of the first light source a portion of the light coming back from the test range.

Abstract: A method for forming a lift-off mask structure includes providing a substrate body, depositing a layer of bottom anti-reflective coating, BARC, over a surface of the substrate body, and depositing a layer of photosensitive resist over the BARC layer. The method further includes exposing the resist layer to electromagnetic radiation through a photomask, and forming the lift-off mask structure by applying a developer for selectively removing a portion of the BARC layer and of the resist layer such that an underlying portion of the surface of the substrate body is exposed.

Abstract: The peak comparator circuitry comprises a differential amplifier circuit having an output node to generate a differential amplifier output signal in response to an amplification of a difference of an input signal and a reference signal, and a comparator circuit having an output node to generate a comparator output signal. A feedback path of the peak comparator circuitry is arranged between the output node of the comparator circuit and the output node of the differential amplifier circuit. The proposed peak comparator circuitry allows for a low voltage supply, a low current consumption and a fast output validity.
