HARBOUR ROOM B GRAND BALLROOM B GRAND BALLROOM C GRAND BALLROOM E<br />

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 />

TuK1 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM (Invited)<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 />

Carrier Photodiode for Photonic Few-<br />

Cycle Sub-THz Pulse Generation and<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 />

communication at W-band is achieved.<br />

and A. C. Ferrari, University of Cambridge,<br />

Cambridge, UK<br />

Employing a nanotube-based saturable absorber,<br />

we demonstrate a continuously tunable (1533-<br />

1563nm) ultrafast fiber laser, with output<br />

pulsewidth switchable between picosecond<br />

(1.2 ps) and femtosecond (610 fs) regimes<br />
