    GALS for Bursty Data Transfer based on Clock Coupling
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2009) Krstić, M.; Fan, X.; Grass, E.; Gürkaynak, F.K.
    In this paper we introduce a novel burst-mode GALS technique. The goal of this technique is improving the performance of the GALS approach for systems with predominantly bursty data transfer. This new technique has been used to implement a GALS-based version of a hardware accelerator of a 60 GHz OFDM baseband processor. The simulation results show a significant performance improvement in comparison with a classical implementation of GALS using pausible clocking. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    From Lab-on-chip to Lab-in-App: Challenges towards silicon photonic biosensors product developments
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2022) Mai, Andreas; Mai, Christian; Steglich, Patrick
    This work presents and evaluates different approaches of integrated optical sensors based on photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technologies for refractive index sensing. Bottlenecks in the fabrication flow towards an applicable system are discussed that hinder a cost-effective mass-production for disposable sensor chips. As sensor device, a waveguide coupled micro-ring based approach is chosen which is manufactured in an 8” wafer level process. We will show that the co-integration with a reproducible, scalable and low-cost microfluidic interface is the main challenge which needs to be overcome for future application of silicon technology based PIC sensor chips.
