Determination of the radiance of cylindrical light diffusers: design of a one-axis charge-coupled device camera-based goniometer setup
Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Blaise Lovisa, Andreas Pitzschke, Jenny Bertholet
A one-axis charge-coupled device camera-based goniometer setup was developed to measure the three-dimensional radiance profile ( longitudinal, azimuthal, and polar) of cylindrical light diffusers in air and water. An algorithm was programmed to project the ...
Spie-Soc Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers2017Optical Evaluation of the Rear Contacts of Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells by Coupled Electromagnetic and Statistical Ray-Optics Modeling
Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Stefaan De Wolf, Monica Morales Masis, Ali Dabirian
High-efficiency crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells increasingly feature sophisticated electron and hole contacts aimed at minimizing electronic losses. At the rear of photovoltaic devices, such contacts-usually consisting of stacks of functional layers ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2017Roadmap on optical rogue waves and extreme events
Krassimir Panajotov, Yiqi Zhang
The pioneering paper 'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a result, the initial concept has expanded and has been enriched by n ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2016Integrated angular tracking and plasmonic membrane surfaces for a point of a care refractive index sensor
Hatice Altug, Harry Heinzelmann, Cenk Ibrahim Özdemir, Marie-Claude Bay
We present an optical system which integrates a plasmonic sensing surface and an angular tracking system to enable a compact refractive index measurement. A refractive index change at the surface of the sensing membrane causes a change in the angle at whic ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2016Two-dimensional polymer grating and prism on Bloch surface waves platform
Hans Peter Herzig, Elsie Barakat, Libo Yu, Joab Di Francesco
A one-dimensional photonic crystal sustaining Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) is used as a platform for two-dimensional integrated optics. The dielectric platform shows low loss, long propagation distance and high surface field enhancement. In order to study th ...
Optical Society of America2015Broadband optical isolator using phase modulators and mach-zehnder interferometers
Christophe Marcel Georges Galland
Optical devices that do not employ magneto-optics materials or non-linear effects to achieve non-reciprocal light propagation. The optical devices are compatible with the fabrication of monolithic photonic integrated circuits such as silicon-on-insulator p ...
2014Bloch Surface Based Platform for Optical Integration
Hans Peter Herzig, Elsie Barakat, Richa Dubey
A novel dielectric multilayer platform sustaining Bloch surface waves is investigated for integrated photonic chips. These surface waves can be manipulated by two dimensional dielectric optical components patterned on top of the platform. We study the prop ...
2014Optical microscopy for biology and life sciences
Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger
Optical microscopy has become a major non- or minimally invasive tool for investigating living organisms such as cells, tissues or small animals. Being such an essential tool for research and because lacking knowledge and insight in the working principles ...
Laboratoire d'Optique Biomédicale, EPFL2014On Micro Optical Elements for Efficient Light Diffusion
Efficient light management is one of the key issues in modern energy conversion systems, be it to collect optical power or to redistribute light generated by high power light emitters. This thesis touches mainly on the subject of efficient light redistribu ...
EPFL2013Broadband on-chip optical non-reciprocity using phase modulators
Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Ran Ding
Breaking the reciprocity of light propagation in a nanoscale photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is a topic of intense research, fostered by the promises of this technology in areas ranging from experimental research in classical and quantum optics to high-r ...
