High-precision inertial sensing and gravity sensing are key in navigation, oil exploration, and earthquake prediction. In contrast to prior accelerometers using piezoelectric or electronic capacitance readout techniques, optical readout provides narrow-linewidth high-sensitivity laser detection along with low-noise resonant optomechanical transduction near the thermodynamical limits. Here an optomechanical inertial sensor with 8.2micro-g/Hz^1/2 velocity random walk (VRW) at acquisition rate of 100 Hz and 50.9 micro-g bias instability is demonstrated, suitable for consumer and industrial grade applications, e.g., inertial navigation, inclination sensing, platform stabilization, and/or wearable device motion detection. Driven into optomechanical sustained-oscillation, the slot photonic crystal cavity provides radio-frequency readout of the optically-driven transduction with enhanced 625 microg/Hz sensitivity. Measuring the optomechanically-stiffened oscillation shift, instead of the optical transmission shift, provides a 220x VRW enhancement over pre-oscillation mode detection due to the strong optomechanical transduction. Supported by theory, this inertial sensor operates 2.56x above the thermodynamical limit at small integration times, with 43-dB dynamic range, in a solid-state room-temperature readout architecture.

A photonic integrated circuit comprised of an 11 cm multimode speckle waveguide, a 1x32 splitter, and a linear grating coupler array is fabricated and utilized to receive 2 GHz of RF signal bandwidth from 2.5 to 4.5 GHz using a 35 MHz mode locked laser.
Sensitive, real-time optical magnetometry with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond relies on accurate imaging of small ($ll 10^{-2}$) fractional fluorescence changes across the diamond sample. We discuss the limitations on magnetic-field sensitivity resulting from the limited number of photoelectrons that a camera can record in a given time. Several types of camera sensors are analyzed and the smallest measurable magnetic-field change is estimated for each type. We show that most common sensors are of a limited use in such applications, while certain highly specific cameras allow to achieve nanotesla-level sensitivity in $1$~s of a combined exposure. Finally, we demonstrate the results obtained with a lock-in camera that pave the way for real-time, wide-field magnetometry at the nanotesla level and with micrometer resolution.
Quantum sensors based on nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond have emerged as a promising detection modality for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy owing to their micron-scale detection volume and non-inductive based detection. A remaining challenge is to realize sufficiently high spectral resolution and concentration sensitivity for multidimensional NMR analysis of picoliter sample volumes. Here, we address this challenge by spatially separating the polarization and detection phases of the experiment in a microfluidic platform. We realize a spectral resolution of 0.65 +/- 0.05 Hz, an order-of-magnitude improvement over previous diamond NMR studies. We use the platform to perform two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy of liquid analytes within an effective ~20 picoliter detection volume. The use of diamond quantum sensors as in-line microfluidic NMR detectors is a significant step towards applications in mass-limited chemical analysis and single cell biology.
The concept of capacitive coupling between sensors and readout chips is under study for the vertex detector at the proposed high-energy CLIC electron positron collider. The CLICpix Capacitively Coupled Pixel Detector (C3PD) is an active High-Voltage CMOS sensor, designed to be capacitively coupled to the CLICpix2 readout chip. The chip is implemented in a commercial $180$ nm HV-CMOS process and contains a matrix of $128times128$ square pixels with $25$ $mu$m pitch. First prototypes have been produced with a standard resistivity of $sim20$ $Omega$cm for the substrate and tested in standalone mode. The results show a rise time of $sim20$ ns, charge gain of $190$ mV/ke$^{-}$ and $sim40$ e$^{-}$ RMS noise for a power consumption of $4.8$ $mu$W/pixel. The main design aspects, as well as standalone measurement results, are presented.
We present different computational approaches for the rapid extraction of the signal parameters of discretely sampled damped sinusoidal signals. We compare time- and frequency-domain-based computational approaches in terms of their accuracy and preci sion and computational time required in estimating the frequencies of such signals, and observe a general trade-off between precision and speed. Our motivation is precise and rapid analysis of damped sinusoidal signals as these become relevant in view of the recent experimental developments in cavity-enhanced polarimetry and ellipsometry, where the relevant time scales and frequencies are typically within the $sim1-10,mu$s and $sim1-100$MHz ranges, respectively. In such experimental efforts, single-shot analysis with high accuracy and precision becomes important when developing experiments that study dynamical effects and/or when developing portable instrumentations. Our results suggest that online, running-fashion, microsecond-resolved analysis of polarimetric/ellipsometric measurements with fractional uncertainties at the $10^{-6}$ levels, is possible, and using a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration we show that using a frequency-based analysis approach we can monitor and analyze signals at kHz rates and accurately detect signal changes at microsecond time-scales.
