Silicon waveguide-based passive photonic devices that offer advantages toward chip-scale miniaturization of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and photonic sensors in LWIR have been explored. However, the modulation of Si-based guided-wave propagation in LWIR remains less reported. Here, we demonstrate a MEMS tunable directional coupler operating at a long-wave infrared wavelength range (6.4–7 µm) using suspended Si waveguides with subwavelength gratings. Leveraging the membrane transfer technology, the whole photonic waveguide device membrane is transferred onto a receiver substrate with a cavity that allows sufficient displacement for MEMS electrostatic actuation. The proposed device experimentally achieved an optical attenuation of −14.25 dB with 90 V DC bias voltage, while having a response time of 177 µs. In addition, the demonstration of using such a device for computational spectroscopy has been validated.","PeriodicalId":50296,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optomechatronics","volume":"16 1","pages":"42 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42052498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A linear feedback controller ensured the tracking of pre-defined end-effector trajectories of various speeds. The pose feedback of the controller was provided by the HTC Vive. As a reference, the realized trajectory was measured by the OptiTrack motion capture system. We report that the motion control of a spatial double pendulum robot can be achieved by using a linear feedback controller together with cable winch and fan actuators providing six independent inputs. The accuracy of the HTC Vive was proved to be sufficient for the feedback position control of indoor mobile robots. We report that the error strongly correlates with the linear/angular velocity, the acceleration and the jerk.","PeriodicalId":50296,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optomechatronics","volume":"15 1","pages":"32 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15599612.2021.1890284","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41795143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the collective oscillations of electrons in the infrared regime, SEIRA using resonant metamaterial provides greatly enhanced (up to 107) electromagnetic fields extending up to tens of nanometers from the metamaterial. The enhanced near-field enables spectroscopic analysis and ultrasensitive on-chip sensing of molecules. This interesting characteristic has aroused widespread attention from researchers to SEIRA technology, and various SEIRA-based sensing applications have been continuously emerging. Optimization of the signal enhancement to obtain high sensing performance is the developing main thread of SEIRA technology. In this Review, we provide a basic understanding of SEIRA’s sensing mechanism and theoretical model. With this background, several SEIRA optimizing methods are discussed, ranging from design, materials to algorithms.
