Detectors with High Impedance Need Variable Gain Current Amplifiers for Measurement

You know the routine. You have rigged up a prototype for your application. Your detector is doing what it does. Now all you need is a current amplifier so you can see (and measure) what is happening. The problem is, which amplifier to go for? How much bandwidth do you need? How much gain do you need? You may not know at this stage, perhaps the theory does not reveal, or there may be a wide range of signal currents in your application, so which amplifier do you buy?

Researchers Create Optical Diode by Coupling Tiny Doughnut Shaped Optical Resonators on a Silicon Chip

At St. Paul's Cathedral in London, a section of the dome called the Whispering Gallery makes a whisper audible from the other side of the dome as a result of the way sound waves travel around the curved surface. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have used the same phenomenon to build an optical device that may lead to new and more powerful computers that run faster and cooler.
