  • Ultra-low Noise Current Readout for a Quantum Gas Sensor

    Author
    Philipp Hengel (Universität Stuttgart IIS)

    Abstract
    In this poster session, we will present a quantum gas sensor based on the ionization current of a Rydberg gas. After a brief introduction to the basic sensor working principle, we will focus on the ultra-low noise transimpedance amplifier used to read out the ionization current and its integration into the sensor glass cell.

    Abstract
    Magnetic current sensors are widely used in applications where galvanic isolation and wide bandwidth (BW) are desired, such as in switched-mode power supplies and motor drivers.

  • Subranging BJT-based CMOS Temperature Sensor with a ±0.45°C Inaccuracy (3σ) from −50°C to 180°C and a Resolution-FoM of 7.2 pJ·K² at 150°C

    Abstract
    This work presents a BJT-based CMOS temperature sensor with a wide sensing range from −50 °C to 180 °C. To effectively relax the sensor resolution requirement and conversion time over the entire temperature range to improve energy efficiency, we introduce a nonlinear subranging readout scheme and double sampling to achieve dynamic reconfiguration of the sensor readout according to the ambient temperature.

    Abstract
    Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) system provides a promising method for the battery replacement for wireless sensor system. Synchronized bias-flip rectifiers, such as synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI) rectifiers, are widely used for PEH. However, the output power extracted by such rectifiers strongly depends on the impedance matching between the piezoelectric transducer (PT) and the circuit.

    Abstract
    The performance of optical quantum information applications heavily depends on the timing jitter of single-photon detectors (SPD). However, current readout electronics fall short in surpassing the SPDs in this aspect. To address this limitation, a sub-ps time-to-digital converter (TDC) for quantum applications was designed.

    Multinuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is amongst the most powerful and versatile analytical tools available today. It allows the measurement of magnetic moments of nuclei such as 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P.

    Abstract
    In modern nano-scale lithography, an essential role of the source, the illumination, and projection lenses is to deliver the precise amount of energy at a specific wavelength to the photoresist deposited on a wafer surface during exposure. Unfortunately, the source of the most advanced lithography processes may produce unwanted infrared components passing through the illumination and projection lenses and reaching the wafer surface.
