Graph inset shows plots of measurements obtained at NIST exhibiting linear temperature dependence for Fiber Bragg Gratings and Photonic Ring Resonators on a Chip.

Photonic Calorimeter

NIST Inventors
Ronald Tosh , Zeeshan Ahmed , Ryan P. Fitzgerald and Nikolai Klimov
The calorimeter uses embedded, nanofabricated photonic sensors to enable micro-scale spatial resolution of dose (energy) distributions and gradients. It presents an alternative to thermistors used in conventional calorimeters for radiation dosimetry, comprising photonic sensors for in-situ dose and
An array of photonic dosimeters subjected to ionizing radiation.

Photonic Dosimeter

NIST Inventors
Ronald Tosh , Zeeshan Ahmed , Ryan P. Fitzgerald and Nikolai Klimov
NIST scientists have developed a photonic device whose resonance characteristics (such as quality factor, peak position, and free spectral range) change in a predictable way in response to the interaction of radiation with the sensor and/or its surroundings. The invention consists of one or more
