We present a simple measurement and analysis technique to determine the fraction of optical loss due to both radiation (scattering) and linear absorption in microphotonic components. The method is generally applicable to optical materials in which both nonlinear and linear absorption are present, and requires only limited knowledge of absolute optical power levels, material parameters, and the structure geometry. The technique is applied to high quality factor (Q=1-5 X 10^6) silicon-on-insulator microdisk resonators. It is determined that linear absorption can account for more than half the total optical loss in the high-Q regime of these devices.
High refractive index contrast optical microdisk resonators fabricated from silicon-on-insulator wafers are studied using an external silica fiber taper waveguide as a wafer-scale optical probe. Measurements performed in the 1500 nm wavelength band s
Absorption spectroscopy is widely used to detect samples with spectral specificity. Here, we propose and demonstrate a method for enhancing the sensitivity of absorption spectroscopy. Exploiting multiple light scattering generated by a boron nitride
We present a detailed study of an estimator of the HI column density, based on a combination of HI 21cm absorption and HI 21cm emission spectroscopy. This isothermal estimate is given by $N_{rm HI,ISO} = 1.823 times 10^{18} int left[ tau_{rm tot} tim
Maximum-likelihood estimation is applied to identification of an unknown quantum mechanical process represented by a ``black box. In contrast to linear reconstruction schemes the proposed approach always yields physically sensible results. Its feasib
The protonated Argon ion, $^{36}$ArH$^{+}$, has been identified recently in the Crab Nebula (Barlow et al. 2013) from Herschel spectra. Given the atmospheric opacity at the frequency of its $J$=1-0 and $J$=2-1 rotational transitions (617.5 and 1234.6
