TuB5 9:30 AM - 9:45 AM<br />
Photonic Biosensors for Determining<br />
Simultaneous Parameters via Multiple<br />
Resonance Peaks, R. Magnusson, University<br />
of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA,<br />
D. Wawro, S. Zimmerman, Resonant Sensors<br />
Incorporated, Arlington, TX, USA, and W. Wu,<br />
University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX,<br />
USA<br />
Guided-mode resonance sensors employing<br />
modal-polarization diversity are presented. In an<br />
application example, we quantify the variations in<br />
the refractive index of an attaching biolayer and<br />
show that the background is stable.<br />
TuC4 9:30 AM - 9:45 AM<br />
A Subranging Photonic ADC Based on<br />
Cyclic Code, N. K. Kim and N. Dagli,<br />
University of California - Santa Barbara, Santa<br />
Barbara, CA, USA<br />
A subranging photonic ADC based on cyclic<br />
code was introduced. 6-bit operation was verified<br />
using two 3-bit photonic ADCs. Required laser,<br />
receiver and high speed sampler count was<br />
reduced almost a factor of 4.<br />
TuD4 9:45 AM - 10:00 AM<br />
Pixel-to-Pixel Cross-Talk of Infrared<br />
Focal Plane Arrays, S. D. Gunapala, Jet<br />
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, USA<br />
We have measured the pixel-to-pixel optical and<br />
electrical cross-talk of superlattice and QWIP<br />
focal plane arrays (FPAs). The figures of merits<br />
and modulation transfer functions of these FPAs<br />
will be presented during this presentation.<br />
TuB6 9:45 AM - 10:00 AM<br />
Optical Cavity-based Biosensor Utilizing<br />
Differential Detection, C. Mounce and<br />
S. Kim, LeTourneau University, Longview, TX,<br />
USA<br />
We report an optical cavity-based biosensor<br />
utilizing differential detection for increased sensitivity,<br />
lower cost, and multiplexing capability.<br />
Calculated differential values show linear and<br />
monotonic change for the sensing layer thickness<br />
with a sensitivity of 0.061/nm.<br />
TuC5 9:45 AM - 10:00 AM<br />
Parametric Sampling Gate Linearization<br />
by Pump Intensity Modulation, V. Ataie,<br />
University of California - San Diego, La Jolla,<br />
CA, USA<br />
We present a novel technique for parametric<br />
sampling gate linearization. The method relies on<br />
partial transfer of the signal modulation to the<br />
pump. A 25 dB improvement in even-harmonics<br />
distortion is demonstrated experimentally.<br />

Large-Scale Integrated <strong>Photonics</strong> for<br />
High-Performance Interconnects,<br />
R. G. Beausoleil, HP Laboratories, Palo Alto, CA,<br />
USA<br />
High-end computing systems are expected to<br />
scale from petascale to exascale over the next<br />
decade. We describe requirements and architectures<br />
for high-bandwidth interconnects based on<br />
integrated photonic components that could<br />
enable this performance growth.<br />

Integrated Optics for Biophotonic<br />
Applications, R. Dekker, E. J. Klein and<br />
D. H. Geuzebroek, XiO <strong>Photonics</strong> BV, Enschede,<br />
The Netherlands<br />
This paper will discuss and demonstrate the<br />
advantages of laser beam combining using<br />
single mode integrated optics based on<br />
TriPleXTM waveguide technology. Color<br />
combining through integrated optics yields<br />
compact, robust an low cost devices.<br />

Microwave Photonic Filters Based on<br />
Optical Frequency Combs, A. M. Weiner,<br />
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA<br />
Optical frequency combs generated by electrooptic<br />
modulation form a coherent multi-carrier<br />
light source for flexible microwave photonic<br />
filtering. Various filter experiments demonstrating<br />
high sidelobe suppression, deep<br />
submicrosecond tuning, and pulse compression<br />
capability are described.<br />

Wireless Communication, J.-W. Shi,<br />
National Central University, Taoyuan, Taiwan,<br />
R.O.C.<br />
We review our work about near-ballistic unitraveling<br />
carrier photodiode (NBUTC-PD). By<br />
utilizing its ultra-fast switching and high outputpower<br />
characteristics, a few cycle electrical pulse<br />
generation and extremely-high data rate wireless<br />
