Westerveld, W.J. (author)We demonstrated that photonic micro-ring resonators can be used in micro-machined ultrasound microphones. This might cause a breakthrough in array transducers for ultrasonography; first because optical multiplexing allows array interrogation via one optical fiber and second because the silicon-on-insulator technology allows cost-effective...doctoral thesis 2014

Westerveld, W.J. (author), Pozo, J. (author), Leinders, S.M. (author), Yousefi, M. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)We investigate directional couplers in silicon-on-insulator photonic technology. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a large coupling-induced phase delay that occurs when nearly all light is coupled from one waveguide to the other, i.e., when the coupler operates as a cross-coupler. We show that even a tiny asymmetry in the two...journal article 2013
