Abstract

A monolithic fully-integrated interferometer position/displacement sensor is proposed. The device is implemented with waveguide grating components, a GRIN SCH SQW DFB laser and photodiodes. A prototype device of 6.5/spl times/2.0 mm/sup 2/ chip size and 0.4/spl times/0.4 mm/sup 2/ sensing beam aperture is fabricated, and the sensor operation of submicron resolution is demonstrated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
