The optical properties of plano-convex refractive microlenses with low Fresnel Number (typically FN < 10) are investigated. It turns out that diffraction effects at the lens aperture limit the range of the effective focal length. The upper limit of the foc ...
A study of the optical properties of microfabricated, fully-metal-coated quartz probes collecting longitudinal and transverse optical fields is presented. The measurements are performed by raster scanning the focal plane of an objective, focusing azimuthal ...
"Optofluidics" is the marriage of optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics with fluidics. Such integration represents a new approach for dynamic manipulation of optical properties at length scales both greater than and smaller than the wavelength of light ...
We analyze the propagating optical modes in a Silicon membrane photonic crystal waveguide, based on subwavelength-resolution amplitude and phase measurements of the optical fields using a heterodyne near-field scanning optical microscope (H-NSOM). Fourier ...
Recently there has been a growing amount of attention devoted to tuneable photonic crystals (PhCs) where the optical response of PhC structures can be dynamically modified. We will show how infiltrating planar PhCs with a synthetic organic material allows ...
In this contribution, the synthesis of two novel amino-functionalized terrylene and quaterrylene diimide derivatives is described. These chromophores have been used as initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of N€-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine N-carbox ...
The simulation of light reflected by polymer-dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals is carried out using a model that takes into account the domain structure of the layer. The model is based on the 4×4 matrix calculation method of Berreman. One considers di ...

Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) carried out at 300 K together with reflectivity measurements performed from 5 to 300 K are used to determine the temperature dependence of the refractive index of hexagonal GaN films between 360 and 600 nm. The refractive in ...
An optical device for amplifying or emitting an optical beam of given wavelength comprises an optical source (20) in combination with a primary optical device (10) which is a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), a gain-clamped semiconductor optical ampli ...
