Gas Uptake of 3-D Printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Using a Vacuum Apparatus Designed for Absorption and Desorption Studies

October 25, 2016
Author(s)
Makfir Sefa, Zeeshan Ahmed, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai Klimov, Julia Scherschligt
We describe a vacuum apparatus for determining the outgassing rate into vacuum, the diffusion coefficient, and the amount of gas absorbed for various materials. The diffusion coefficient is determined from a model applied to time-dependent desorption data

Thermometry with Optomechanical Cavities

June 6, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik Srinivasan, Nikolai Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jacob Taylor
Thermally-driven motion of a nanomechanical resonator may be employed as an absolute thermometer. We experimentally measure radiation pressure shot noise induced quantum correlations to absolutely calibrate the motional signal transduced onto an optical

Fiber Bragg Grating Based Thermometry

October 1, 2015
Author(s)
Zeeshan Ahmed, Bernard J. Filla, William F. Guthrie, John S. Quintavalle
In recent years there has been considerable interest in developing photonic temperature sensors such as the Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) as an alternative to resistance thermometry. In this study we examine the thermal response of FBGs over the temperature

On-Chip Integrated Silicon Photonic Thermometers

September 1, 2015
Author(s)
Nikolai N. Klimov, Thomas P. Purdy, Zeeshan Ahmed
The fundamental limitations of resistance-based thermometry and the desire to reduce sensor ownership have produced considerable interest in the development of photonics-based temperature sensors as an alternative to resistance thermometers. Photonic

Towards Reproducible Ring Resonator Based Temperature Sensors

September 1, 2015
Author(s)
Nikolai Klimov, Michaela Berger, Zeeshan Ahmed
In recent years photonic devices have emerged as a powerful tool for developing novel, high-sensitivity sensors. In particular, tremendous progress has been reported in developing photonic temperature sensors using a wide variety of materials including

On-Chip Silicon Waveguide Bragg Grating Photonic Temperature Sensor

August 4, 2015
Author(s)
Nikolai Klimov, Sunil Mittal, Zeeshan Ahmed, Michaela Berger
Resistance thermometry is a time-tested method for temperature measurements. Fundamental limits to resistance-based approaches, spurred our interest in developing photonic temperature sensors as a viable alternative. In this study we demonstrate that our

Developing Microwave Photonic Temperature Sensors

July 9, 2015
Author(s)
John S. Quintavalle, James Filla, Gregory F. Strouse, Zeeshan Ahmed
In recent years there has been considerable interest in exploiting the temperature dependence of sapphire whispering gallery mode frequency to develop a mechanically stable, high accuracy temperature sensor. Disk-resonator-based devices have been
