Microring Distributed Sensors Using Space-Time Function Control

Abstract

Distributed microring sensors using space-time function control is proposed for artificial microfacial sensors. The system consists of 6 different node locations, corresponding to the form of the human microfacial structure. Two space-time function input sources are fed into the system simultaneously. The distributed stereo network sensors are investigated. Each sensor node is embedded by a different gold grating period, in which the coupling between the photon and grating generates different plasmonic Bragg wavelengths outputs, which can be used to identify the node positions. The changes introduced to the sensor nodes via the space-time function relationship, such as the polariton (phonon), wavelength, frequency, and temporal change of the Bragg wavelength, can be measured. By using the whispering gallery mode output, the dipole oscillation of each node can be obtained, which can be used for a distributed facial sensor network. The distributed network is connected by the microring coupling in the system. By using the stereo sensor and space-time function sources, a balance of the two-channel sensing signals, known as a stereo sensor, can enable a self-calibration of the sensor, which is achieved. Moreover, exchange between the polariton and electron can be achieved, and electro-optic conversion is obtained. Moreover, the electro-optic conversion obtained by exchanging the polariton and electron energies means that both wireless and cable transmission modes can be employed.
