Novel Design of 3D Imaging Pixel On-chip Using A Micro-conjugate Mirror System

Abstract

We have proposed the novel design of 3D imaging pixel on-chip using a micro-conjugate mirror system, where the nonlinear microring resonator known as a Panda ring resonator is designed to form the micro-conjugate mirror, which can be used to construct a three dimensional (3D) imaging system. Two micro-conjugate mirrors are vertically formed by stacking the two nonlinear Panda rings, which can be used to manipulate the 3D imaging perception, from which the human 3D vision can be replaced by a large area single eye device. In application, a thin film device of a single eye onchip can be modeled and the artificial eye constructed. Simulation results obtained have shown that the single point (pixel) of an object can be interpreted to form the 3D image by the device whispering gallery modes (WGMs), from which the reference and the object beams are interfered and the 3D pixel formed. Finally, the holographic display information can be interpreted by the optic nerves and brain processing cells. The 3D image output signals can be confirmed theoretically by the symmetrical imaging signals.

In Situ Tissue Imaging and Monitoring Technique using WGM Probes

“…Micro and Nano devices have been used as the interesting tools for many research and applications [1][2][3], where there are many available techniques today. From which Yupapin and his colleagues used the technique known as whispering gallery mode (WGM) of light within a tiny system that has shown the promising advanced in many applications in either theoretical and practical applications [4][5][6][7], eMicro-conjugate mirror has been the interesting device for 3D imaging construction, where it was given in reference.…”

“…The imaging construction can also be done by the drop port output signals, from which the 3D imaging can be constructed and seen. However, the real time 3D images can be seen on the back panel, which is constructed by each pixel tips of the WGM probes, where the large area (volume) of 3D pixel imaging spots can be used to construct the whole image [2]. Moreover, such a device can be used for medical diagnosis and therapy.…”
