Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) · Research ProgressOptics industryOptics and AIAI score4747 Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics Dual-Modal Neuromorphic Device Uses Optical Signals to Boost Machine Olfaction Gas Classification Accuracy
A team led by researcher Li Shaojuan at the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics has developed a vision-olfaction dual-modal neuromorphic device based on a MoS2/SnS2 floating-gate heterostructure. The device responds to both optical and gas signals and fuses them at the device level. The results were published in Advanced Materials. The device has an active area of 148 µm² and static power consumption of 3.4 µW. With the optical modality introduced, classification accuracy for 12 gases rose from 52.24% to 98.27%, while recognition accuracy for 51 gas mixtures reached 89.32%.
Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) · Research ProgressOptics industryPicksAI score6060 Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics Develops Goblet-Shaped Waveguide Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Laser with Room-Temperature Low-Power Output
A team led by Researcher Meng Bo at the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics published a paper in Laser & Photonics Reviews presenting a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser with a goblet-shaped waveguide structure, using selective wet etching of the active region and eliminating the semi-insulating InP lateral regrowth process. A 1 mm x 3 um device achieved a continuous-wave threshold power consumption of about 1 W at 293 K, an output power above 27 mW, and a room-temperature pulsed wall-plug efficiency of 3.9%. A 2 um-wide device achieved stable single-mode lasing across the entire current range, with a side-mode suppression ratio of about 20 dB.
Why we recommend it: The goblet-shaped waveguide eliminates the semi-insulating InP regrowth process through selective wet etching. The original paper gives room-temperature continuous-wave threshold power consumption and wall-plug efficiency, which can be compared with buried heterostructure devices for context.
