Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author), Wolffenbuttel Hosli, T.M. (author)Apps have been used for providing additional user functionality on demand to the smartphone. Several highly promising medical apps have been introduced that rely on the build-in camera. However, some of these apps fall short of the expectations, due to the inherent limitation of the camera to operation in the visible spectral range. The more...journal article 2016

Costa, C.G. (author), Gomes, J.M. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author), Correia, J.H. (author)Medical imaging is an important part of diagnosis. The procedure should provide valuable information for diagnosis and, at the same time, should be minimally invasive for the patient. Therefore, when performing endoscopic imaging, a system with reduced dimensions is crucial. The performance of imaging systems, used in several diagnosis...journal article 2016

Ghaderi, M. (author), Ayerden, N.P. (author), De Graaf, G. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author)In CMOS-compatible optical filter designs, SiO2 is often used as the low-index material, limiting the optical contrast (nHi/nLo) to about 2. Using the air as low-index material improves the optical contrast by about 50%, thus increasing the reflectivity and bandwidth at a given design complexity. The design and fabrication of a 4-layered air...journal article 2014

(author)A set-up for optical gas composition measurement based on absorption spectroscopy is composed of a white light source, a gas cell and a spectrometer. The Fabry-Perot optical filter is suitable for miniaturization of this system, as it is composed of only two reflectors with a transparent layer in-between. Varying the width of this optical...journal article 2014

Dias, R.A. (author), Cretu, E. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author), Rocha, L.A. (author)The pull-in time of electrostatically actuated parallel-plate microstructures enables the realization of a high-sensitivity accelerometer that uses time measurement as the transduction mechanism. The key feature is the existence of a metastable region that dominates pull-in behavior, thus making pull-in time very sensitive to external...journal article 2012

(author)A high-resolution, high dynamic range capacitive accelerometer based on pull-in time measurement is described in this paper. The high sensitivity of pull-in time can be used to implement high performance accelerometers, but non-linearity and low dynamic range compromise device performance. A closed-loop approach using an electrostatic actuation...journal article 2012
