Performance Improvement is not Performance Optimization
Author: Stephen Pierzchala.

A yellow rose in Fitzgerald's Park in Cork. I made this photo a few weeks back and it had just rained, leaving nice little droplets of water on the delicate petals of the flower.
Tag: Rain
A rainy day on the street
It's raining in Cork, possibly. The weather has been all upside down this summer. By the time you see this on my photoblog, I'll be on my way to San Francisco. Check my Flickr stream for tomorrow's pic 🙂
I couldn't run my future posting script because Flickr changed their filename naming scheming to protect original images. Good move, but it's annoying if you blog the original sized ones!
Daisy drops of rain
Rain drops show on the white petals of a daisy that struggles amid the ruins of an old hospital building.
I wonder if that building is still there? I'll have to go look someday.
Water Drops in Cobh
Water drops from a railing in Cobh after a particularly heavy rain early in the day. That day's shooting in Cobh was quite successful and by the evening there was a beautiful glow from the setting sun.
I took these firework photos from a spot on the right of this image.
The little red door
A small house is stuck between two larger buildings in Dingle, Co. Kerry. I'm not sure what caught my eye in the first place but I think it was the red door.
Shot on a wet morning that brightened up after an hour of intense rain.
Standing in the gutter
It's pouring rain, I'm just after eating a delicious meal with family and what do I do? Go shoot the leaves in the drain across the road.
I can tell you it was difficult enough holding the umbrella in one hand, camera in the other, thinking about composition and keeping my balance, without getting wet. *Phew*
Shot in Blarney on a very wet day.
Wet Wellow Web
Early in the morning dew coats everything and water droplets on spider webs glisten in the rising sun.
I'm not sure where this was taken, it was probably somewhere in Blarney but it was taken with my Panasonic FZ5 last September and I only copied it off a few days ago!

How 15 Cooks Organize Their Cookbooks in the Kitchen
Organization Inspiration
We love these thoughts from Dana on organizing your cookbook collection. She acknowledged that how you choose to organize your cookbooks is all about personal preference, but if you need some visual inspiration, where better to look than our Kitchen Tour archives?
Here's a quick peek at how 15 different cooks find ways to store their beloved cookbooks in the kitchen.
5 More Things We Can Learn from Julia Child's Kitchen (Besides That Awesome Pegboard!)
Kitchen Design Lessons
In 1976 Julia Child wrote an essay for Architectural Digest about her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In it she called her kitchen "the beating heart and social center of the household ... both practical and beautiful, a working laboratory as well as a living and dining room." Sounds so lovely, right?
We — as her humble servants, now and forever — can't get enough of her kitchen either. Over the years Julia's famous pegboard has gotten a lot of attention, but there's so much to learn from the rest of the kitchen, too! From how she set it up and the amazing way she labeled her utensil crocks, to the copycat paint color we found for those iconic blue-green cabinets, here are five other things to know about Julia Child's kitchen.
Why Every Small Kitchen Should Have a Clamp Lamp
Best Products for Small Kitchens
One of the best purchases I made in my rental kitchen makeover was to purchase two IKEA clamp lamps for the wall by the island. Like most rentals, my overhead lighting is subpar, I have no under-cabinet lighting, and while I do have windows, that doesn't really help me when it gets dark out!
Since then I've realized that clamp lamps are a totally brilliant, doable, and budget-friendly necessity for small kitchens — or really, any kitchen! Here's why.
15 Kitchens That Want to Go Back to Their High School's Science Lab
Look We Love
Ever dreamed about returning to your high school chem lab? Plating petri dishes with agar? Lighting Bunsen burners or checking out cell cycle slides through a microscope?
If you've got a soft spot for science labs, these 15 kitchens are for you. From reclaimed wooden work benches repurposed as kitchen islands to lab stools at the breakfast bar, these kitchens hearken back to science labs' utilitarian style, and remind us that we, as cooks, are all scientists after all!
5 Things We Can Learn from This Restaurant Kitchen
Kitchen Design Lessons
When you think of a restaurant kitchen, you probably picture a spare, utilitarian space, all stainless steel and smooth finishes, a row of fluorescent lights humming overhead. What you likely don't picture is this — the kitchen at DOC in Portland.
Tucked behind a red gingham curtain, this is what happens when you blend the needs of a restaurant kitchen with the aesthetics of a home kitchen. Here are five things we can learn from this blended space.
Look We Love: Gray Kitchen Cabinets with Brass Hardware
Kitchen Inspiration
Forget about white kitchens — gray is having a moment. Okay, so technically gray has been having a moment for the last several years, but the special thing about this moment is gray's spectacular pairing with the unlikeliest of materials: brass.
Just as this stunning combination defied expectations, the following 10 kitchens prove that when it comes to gray kitchen cabinets, you should completely and forever forget about stainless steel hardware, because brass puts it to shame.
10 Places to Put a Floating Shelf in the Kitchen
Kitchen Design Lessons
I've always been a fan of floating shelves. They're the smooth operators of the shelf world, hanging on the wall as if by magic with no brackets, nails, or supports of any kind (that are visible, at least).
They also happen to be kitchen superstars, filling in design holes and solving storage problems with style and ease. Not sure where to put one in your kitchen? We've got 10 ideas.
5 Things We Can Learn from This "Ugly Duckling" Cottage Kitchen
Kitchen Design Lessons
I'm about to show you one of my favorite kitchen types. It's what I like to call the Ugly Duckling kitchen — the kitchen with vintage cabinets, dated countertops, basic appliances, or other uninspiring details. The Ugly Duckling kitchen is often found in rentals, and likely hasn't been updated in a few decades. On the surface it really doesn't look like much.
But Ugly Duckling kitchens? They're beautiful in the hands of the right person, no gut renovation needed. Here's one example.
10 Snazzy Ways to Organize and Store Small Appliances
Organizing Inspiration from The Kitchn
Some small appliances have all the luck. Instead of getting shoved in the back of a cupboard or left to gather dust on a bottom shelf, these small appliances get the red carpet treatment, with pull-out shelves and hidden cabinets devoted entirely to storing them in style and comfort. Ah... it's good to be a small appliance, at least if you're in one of these kitchens!
5 Things We Can Learn About Setting Up a Kitchen from This Diagram
Kitchen Design Lessons
What's the best way to set up a kitchen? If you've been cooking for any length of time, you've either figured this out for yourself, in your own kitchen — or you are still looking for that magic solution. This diagram might not be how your kitchen actually looks, but the way it divvies up the space is useful information for any kitchen. Here's what we can learn from it.

I have a WIC appointment tomorrow, just a check pick up, not a re-cert. The weather is supposed to get bad tonight. Snow tonight, switching to freezing rain/sleet/wintry mix in the early morning and last throughout the day. The appointment is at 11:30.
First, how would I know if they are closed? Do I just call the central office and hope they have a recording up (they NEVER answer the phone)?
Second, what happens if I miss the appointment? Am I penalized or do I have to wait a long time?

The present disclosure generally relates to optical communications and, more particularly, to optical detector arrays that convert an unfocused or blurred spot comprising an optical signal into an electrical signal by summing signals from detectors forming the array.
Optical communication is becoming the preferred method for secure, high-bandwidth communications. Fiber-based communication systems, for example, are used in environments where the access points are known and fixed, and free-space communication systems are used in remote applications where access points may vary. For the latter systems, compact, lightweight, field deployable receivers are desired. Yet, the size of existing communications equipment has limited the effectiveness of such devices.
To understand the problems with free-space communications systems, one may look to the environments in which these systems operate. In a standard configuration, a laser transmitter produces an information carrying laser beam that transmits that signal through air. A remote user then uses an optical receiver to detect and demodulate that signal, to obtain an electrical rendition of the original laser signal. Over great travel distances, however, the original laser beam will expand and distort in response to anomalies in the air medium through which the beam travels. Turbulence in the atmosphere, for example, may distort the laser beam and produce a twinkling or blurring effect that represents changes in intensities and phase across the laser beam wavefront.
Additionally, atmospheric turbulence and poor optical quality receivers prevent the laser beam from being focused to a point at the remote location. Rather, the laser beam is only focused down to a blurred spot by the receiver. In other words, although the optical beam may originate from a laser point source, in free-space communication systems, that laser point source is imaged to a two-dimensional blur spot at the remote receiver.
As a result of this blur spot, a larger detector is needed to collect the available energy in the laser signal. In fact, in remote applications, there is so much signal intensity loss over the propagation path that it is desirable to collect as much of the received optical signal as possible, which means that larger diameter optical receivers must be used. Larger optical receivers, however, increase weight and reduce portability—two things undesirable for remote deployable receivers. Larger detectors also slow receiver responsiveness, because the intrinsic capacitance of larger detectors is larger, and scales with the area of the detector which means larger parasitic effects and longer response times. These performance limitations also adversely affect the bandwidth (and thus operating data rates) of optical receivers, preventing them from being used in high data rate applications.
An embodiment of the invention is an optical device for converting optical energy extending over a two-dimensional spot into electrical energy. The optical device may include: a focal plane assembly; a photodetector array having a plurality of photodetectors each positioned to collect at least a portion of the optical energy from the focal plane assembly; a transimpedance amplifier assembly; and a summing amplifier assembly coupled to the transimpedance amplifier assembly to produce a summed electrical signal representative of the optical energy over the two-dimensional spot.
Another embodiment of the invention includes a method of converting a high-data rate optical signal extending over a two-dimensional spot into a high-data rate electrical signal. The method may include: focusing the optical signal onto a photodetector array; converting the optical signal into a plurality of electrical signals; disposing a transimpedance amplifier assembly to amplify each of the plurality of electrical signals; and summing each of the amplified electrical signals, to produce a summed electrical signal representative of the optical signal over the two-dimensional spot.
A further embodiment of the invention includes a method of converting a high-data rate optical signal extending over a two-dimensional spot into a high-data rate electrical signal. The method may include: focusing the optical signal onto a photodetector array; converting the optical signal into a plurality of electrical signals; disposing a summing amplifier assembly to sum each of the plurality of electrical signals; and disposing a transimpedance amplifier assembly to amplify the sum of each of the plurality of electrical signals, to produce a summed electrical signal representative of the optical signal over the two-dimensional spot.
Some embodiments provide an optical receiver assembly that may be used to collect the largest practical amount of laser energy transmitted across a free-space region from a transmitter. Near the focus of the receiver, the assembly may include an optical element or array of optical elements placed near the detector array that have a size sufficient to capture and further concentrate the optical energy contained in the blurred optical spot. The captured optical energy is focused to a photodetector array that has a series of small photodetection elements of relatively low circuit capacitance. In some examples, InGaAs photodiodes are used. In some examples, the electrical signals from these photodetectors are collected and either summed and then amplified or amplified individually and then summed by a series of high bandwidth transimpedance amplifiers. Different types of transimpedance amplifiers architectures may be used. For example, CMOS fabricated singled-ended or differential transimpedance amplifiers may be used to achieve high bandwidths and thus high data rates, for example 1 Gbit/s or higher. In some examples, the summing circuitry and transimpedance amplification can support data rates high enough to support high-definition modulated information to produce an optical communication that can receive free-space high definition video signals modulated on a laser signal.
Optical assemblies may be used in remote communication environments where signal intensities are generally quite low. Further, the optical assemblies may be used in portable, field-deployed applications along with optical receivers and wavefront correction elements.
The features, functions, and advantages can be achieved independently in various embodiments of the present invention or may be combined in yet other embodiments.
To detect optical radiation like laser signals, an optical device may have a focal plane assembly (FPA) able to collect the optical energy and direct that energy to an optoelectronic converter, such as a photodetector array. The electrical signals from the photodetector array may then be applied to amplifiers and analog or digital summing elements to produce a rendition of the original laser signal captured by the FPA.
The device 100 includes an FPA in the form of a lenslet array 102 that may collect optical energy from a laser transmitter, not shown. The array 102, discussed in further detail below, may be a two-dimensional array of lenslets 104 adjacently abutting one another to maximize the amount of optical energy collected by the array 102. The lenslets 104 may be formed of any suitable optically-transparent material. Materials will depend on the wavelength, for example, quartz for visible wavelengths, or silicon for shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths. In the illustrated example, a photodetector element 106 is positioned below each lenslet 104, for example, at a focal distance and performs optical-to-electrical conversion. As explained in further detail below, the photodetectors 106 may be semiconductor PIN or avalanche photodiodes, such as InGaAs, SiGe, InP and InGaP, for example.
The photodetector elements 106 may be formed into a photodetector array 108 that is coupled to a read out integrated circuit (ROIC) 109 which includes transimpedance amplifier assembly 110 and a summing amplifier assembly 112. A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) assembly 110 may include an array of transimpedance amplifiers, one for each photodetector element 106. Example transimpedance amplifiers are described below and, yet, others will be known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. In general, the TIA assembly 110 comprises high data rate transimpedance amplifiers with an RC time constant low enough to amplify electrical signals having Gbit/s data rates while still providing a large enough gain value to produce a summed signal detectable by downstream circuits, such as those used in optical communication systems. To further reduce the RC time constant of the individual transimpedance amplifiers and further improve response time, the size of the corresponding photodetector elements 106 may be decreased to reduce input capacitance at the transimpedance amplifiers.
The TIA assembly 110 is coupled to the high-data rate summing amplifier assembly 112. Each assembly 112 collects (receives or senses) and adds electrical signals from the TIA assembly 110 together to produce a summed electrical signal 114 representative of all optical energy collected by the array 102. The summed signal 114, therefore, may have an electrical energy proportional to the optical energy collected by the array 102 and a high date rate, the same, or substantially similar, to the data rate of that optical energy. The summed signal 114 may be coupled to a display not shown. The ROIC 109 may provide the output signal 114 to a clock/data recovery circuit 116, for example, a microprocessor-based circuit or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that may strip modulated data from the electrical signal 114.
An example lenslet array and photodetector assembly 300 is illustrated in
In the illustrated example, the collected optical energy is coupled to a photodetector array 308 of substrate 309. The photodetector array 308 is formed of a plurality of photodetectors 312, which may be InGaAs photodetectors having an operating wavelength range above 1 μm, for example. More generally, however, the photodetectors 312 may be any semiconductor PIN or avalanche photodiode, such as an InGaAs, SiGe, InP, and InGaP, or HgCdTe device depending on the operating optical wavelength. The photodiodes may operate over standard optical communication wavelengths such as the 1.55 mm region, although the examples described herein are not limited to these particular wavelengths. For example, military communications may operate at longer wavelengths, such as 10.6 mm, for which HgCdTe detectors may be used. The apparatus 300 is depicted as a 4�4 array, by way of example. The apparatuses described herein may take the form of any M�M or M�N array.
To keep the input capacitance low for the high data rate amplifiers used in the example optical devices, the photodetectors 312 may be fabricated using semiconductor growth and photolithography processes to a size of approximately 100 μm or below, depending on the input capacitance desired. Merely by way of example, an InGaAs detector of 30 μm in diameter may produce a CD of approximately 100 fF, and a 400 μm detector may produce a CD of approximately 32 pF, where the smaller the CD, the higher the bandwidth and the faster the response time of the associated summing transimpedance amplifiers. For 10 Gbit/s data rates, a 30 μm diameter photodetector may be preferred, for example.
The transimpedance amplifier may be implemented in a variety of different ways, examples of which are illustrated in
The circuit schematics illustrated are examples and that circuit elements may be removed, substituted, or augmented with additional circuit elements. For example, a bias signal may be used on any operational amplifier described herein to control or adjust gain. Further still, a circuit equalizer, such as an inductive load, may be used to reduce the RC time constant in a transimpedance amplifier, thereby increasing bandwidth response and operating data rates.
Various fabrication techniques may be used to form the transimpedance amplifier, summing amplifier, and/or clock/data recovery circuit. For example, commercial off-the-shelf elements may be used. Preferably, however, various circuit elements may be formed with CMOS fabrication technology. For example, the photodetector array may be hybridized with a CMOS transimpedance amplifier layer and CMOS summing amplifier to reduce noise and manufacturing costs. An example optical device 700 is illustrated in
In the illustrated example of device 700, a photodetector array substrate 702 of InGaAs, or other semiconductor material, includes photodiodes 704 that are disposed adjacent a window 706 of a hermetically sealed package 708. The substrate 702 is hybridized with a CMOS TIA layer 710 having a plurality of TIAs 712 formed therein. The CMOS TIA layer 710 has been fabricated along with a CMOS summing amplifier layer 714, with the entire apparatus mounted on a substrate 716, for example a heat sink. The layers 710 and 714 form a ROIC 718. A plurality of pins 720 (only two of which are shown in the illustrated perspective) extend from a bottom of the package 708 for coupling the device 700 and various layer components to control circuitry, not shown.
In an example fabrication, InGaAs detector elements on the order of 50 μm or below die size and 500 μm height may be fabricated into a substrate using semiconductor processing techniques. The photodiode substrate may then be hybridized with a transimpedance amplifier layer (single amplifier or arrayed) and a summing amplifier layer (single amplifier or arrayed) designed using either 0.18 μm or 0.13 μm standard CMOS fabrication processes. The fabrication process may combine multiple layers into a single fabrication layer to improve performance and reduce parasitic effects, as desired. For example, the transimpedance amplifier layer and the summing amplifier layer may be combined into a single CMOS processed layer.
The optical-to-electrical conversion devices described herein may be used in numerous applications, including free-space optical communications. An example optical receiver 800 including an optical collection element 802 is shown in
Numerous example devices and techniques are described, some of which are described in relation to example environments, provided for explanation purposes. The example devices and techniques may be implemented in various ways, beyond the disclosed examples. For example, although free-space optical communication systems are described, the optical elements and photodetector arrays may be used in waveguide-based communication systems. Furthermore, although examples are described in the context of detecting single-wavelength modulated or un-modulated laser energy, the described techniques may be used in multiplexed environments with multiple laser signals, such as, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) environments. In WDM environments, for example, a prism may be used to disperse different wavelengths to difference receiver arrays.
Although certain apparatus constructed in accordance with the teachings of the invention have been described herein, the scope of coverage of this patent is not limited thereto. On the contrary, this patent covers all embodiments of the teachings of the invention fairly falling within the scope of the appended claims either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
