This design is directly inspired by the ABB German Corporate Research Centre’s: MIROS MEMS Based Paramagnetic oxygen sensor. Kindly search for Dr.Peter Krippner, Dr. Armin Gasch @ ABB DE CRC. They have created a kind of a design which can be used for many other purposes. The commercial aspects of this design I am not [...]
Optomechanical GHz Oscillator and Spectroscopy. Just like the spectral signature of materials originates from molecular vibrations, photonic devices have many spectral lines originating from their different mechanical modes. Our group has excited these modes using the radiation pressure produced by light circulating within the device (1, 2, 3) which oscillate regeneratively at controllable mechanical eigen-frequencies [...]

In this experiment, we shine a green laser pointer on one mirror within the array of an all-optical switch to watch it draw the search pattern it uses to calibrate itself to other mirrors. Duration : 0:0:51
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an important tool for nanotechnology. We tried to use more interesting and interactive way to demonstrate how AFM works. We build a hand held optical lever model (called AFM education kit) that allows people use this model to scan a nanostructure model. A powerful device, WiiTM-mote controller (NintendoTM) is used [...]
