  • Photonic crystal laser sensors and methods
    Patent number: 7492979
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a laser optically coupled to a photonic crystal structure configured to provide an evanescent field through a sensed medium region such that the photonic crystal structure functions as a cavity/resonator for the laser.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2009
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Shih-Yuan Wang, M. Saif Islam, Alex Bratkovski, Ray Beausoleil
  • Photonic interconnections that include optical transmission paths for transmitting optical signals
    Patent number: 7359587
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to photonic interconnection architectures that provide high-speed interconnections of microscale or nanoscale devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, a photonic interconnection for interconnecting and synchronizing operation of components within a computing device comprises an optical transmission path for transmitting a number of independent frequency channels within an optical signal provided by an optical signal source. The photonic crystal may include one or more filters located near the waveguide for extracting specific frequency channels transmitted by the waveguide, the frequency channel including one or more frequency channels carrying a clock signal.
