Optimization in the Technological Steps for the Fabrication of Large Area Micromirror Arrays
(2015-02-23)
Micromirror arrays are a very strong candidate for future energy saving applications. Within this work, the fabrication process for these micromirror arrays has been optimized and some steps for the large area fabrication of micromirror modules were performed. At first the surface roughness of the insulation layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) was investigated. This SiO2 thin layer was deposited on three different type of substrates i.e. silicon, glass and Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) substrates. The deposition ...

Development, Evaluation and Optimization of Fabrication Processes for Daylight Guiding Systems Based on Micromirror Arrays
(2017-01-11)
In this work, fabrication processes for daylight guiding systems based on micromirror arrays are developed, evaluated and optimized.Two different approaches are used: At first, nanoimprint lithography is used to fabricate large area micromirrors by means of Substrate Conformal Imprint Lithography (SCIL).Secondly,a new lithography technique is developed using a novel bi-layered photomask to fabricate large area micromirror arrays. The experimental results showing a reproducible stable process, high yield, and is ...

Patent DE10 2004 037 519 B4 “Sensor Process and Device for Determining a Physical Value“. A Proof of Concept
(2010-06-11)
At present, a fraction of 0.1 - 0.2% of the patients undergoing surgery become aware during the process. The situation is referred to as anesthesia awareness and is obviously very traumatic for the person experiencing it. The reason for its occurrence is mostly an insufficient dosage of the narcotic Propofol combined with the incapability of the technology monitoring the depth of the patient’s anesthetic state to notice the patient becoming aware.
A solution can be a highly sensitive and selective real time monitoring ...

Highly Sensitive Sensor Based On Intracavity Laser Absorption Spectroscopy By Means of Relative Intensity Noise
(2011-01-07)
This thesis concerns with the main aspects of medical trace molecules detection by means of intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS), namely with the equirements for highly sensitive, highly selective, low price, and compact size sensor. A novel two modes semiconductor laser sensor is demonstrated. Its operation principle is based on the competition between these two modes. The sensor sensitivity is improved when the sample is placed inside the two modes laser cavity, and the competition between the two modes ...

Substrate Conformal Imprint Lithography als innovatives Verfahren zur Herstellung von Nanospektrometern im sichtbaren Spektralbereich
(2012-07-16)
Selbstbestimmung und -gestaltung des eigenen Alltages gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung, insbesondere für ältere Mitmenschen in ländlichen Regionen, die auf ärztliche Versorgung angewiesen sind. Die Schaffung sogenannter smart personal environments mittels einer Vielzahl von, nahezu unsichtbar installierten Sensoren im gewohnten Lebensraum liefert dem Anwender (lebens-) notwendige Informationen über seine Umgebung oder seinen eigenen Körper. Dabei gilt es nicht den Anwender mit technischen Daten, wie Spektren, zu ...

Development and assessment of volume resolving velocimetry for turbomachinery test facilities
(Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt DLR, 2017-12-21)
The present thesis assesses the applicability of volume resolving velocimetry
for turbo machinery test facilities. Tomographic particle image velocimetry has been implemented in a transonic cascade wind tunnel. Assessment is based on 3D-3C measurements of the passage vortex in an axial compressor cascade at subsonic inflow (Ma1=0.6). Results show broad consistency with stereoscopic PIV with improved depth resolution. A novel Fast Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (FMART) enables signi cantly faster ...

Optical Sensor Array based Nanospectrometer: Fabrication of high resolution 3D NanoImprint master templates and bonding of Fabry-Pérot filter array onto photodetector array
(2017-05-11)
In the field of optical spectroscopy, spectrometers are high resolution optical sensors that have emerged as a platform for a wide range of application fields. Commercially available spectrometers are bulky and expensive. Hence, this limits its integration into modern mobile and wearable devices. To overcome this limitation, miniaturization of spectrometers is an interesting target for a wide range of emerging applications. The most attractive concept of fabricating miniaturized spectrometers is the Fabry-Pérot filter ...

Mixed Signal CMOS ASIC mit integrierten frei verschaltbaren Photodioden und Signalvorverarbeitung zur adaptierbaren Ortsfrequenzfilterung
(2016-12-15)
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Integrierbarkeit von Photodioden und zugehörigen Signalvorverarbeitungen mit dem preisgünstigen Standard-0,5-µm-Prozess bzw. 0,35-µm-CMOS-Prozess. Als Pilotanwendung wurde die Realisierung eines flexiblen Ortfrequenzfilters vorgesehen, der durch die Verschaltung und die Wichtung von integrierten Photodioden gebildet wird.
Mit einem integrierten optoelektronischen Bauteil (Opto-ASIC) sollte die Funktionaliät eines CORREVIT®-Sensors (der Firma Corrsys 3D Sensors) aus Prismengitter, ...

Design and Numerical Simulation of Dielectric Photonic Crystal Devices and Investigation of an Optical Characterization Method
(2017-11-09)
In this research work, dielectric photonic crystal (PhC) structures based on low refractive index slab waveguide are investigated. These two-dimensional slab waveguide PhC structures work on the principle of guided-mode resonance and find their application in optical filters operated in the near-infrared range. The design and numerical simulation of the presented PhCs are carried out using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The dielectric materials used in the presented structures are zirconium dioxide/niobium ...
