Wilkinson, Vinita Mittal, Zhexuan Zheng, Anushka Gangnaik, Johnathan Butement, Milos Nedeljkovic (2021) Integrated switching circuit for low-noise self-referenced mid-infrared absorption sensing using silicon waveguides IEEE Photonics Journal Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.8 and Fig.9, The figures are as follows: Fig. 8 (a) Time series of the normalized transmissions of the switch sensor and waveguide sensor, (b) Allan deviation of the time series. Fig. 9 Time series measurement of transmission through the sensor arm (orange), the reference arm (blue), and the corrected relative transmittance of the analyte (purple) where each signal is simultaneously retrieved by the lock-in amplifier. The transmission in each arm is normalized to the mean of the water only transmission in that arm during this time series.
