Waveguide grating as a Bragg mirror on Bloch surface waves based platform for 2D integrated optics applications

Hans Peter Herzig, Richa Dubey, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

We study and demonstrate a Bloch-surface-wave-based nano-thin waveguide grating. The waveguide grating is characterized as a Bragg mirror at telecommunication wavelengths. The structure is a dielectric multilayer platform designed to sustain a Bloch surfac ...

Using PyMOL as a platform for computational drug design

Shuguang Yuan, Zhenquan Hu

PyMOL, a cross-platform molecular graphics tool, has been widely used for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, electron densities, surfaces, and trajectories. It is also capable of editing molecules, ray tracing ...

Lower hybrid current drive experiments with different launched wave frequencies in the EAST tokamak

Jian Wang, Joan Decker, Mingkui Wang, Fang Liu, Yong Yang

EAST has been equipped with two high power lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) systems with operating frequencies of 2.45 GHz and 4.6 GHz. Comparative LHCD experiments with the two different frequencies were performed in the same conditions of plasma for the ...

MultiDarkLens Simulations: weak lensing light-cones and data base presentation

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Huanyuan Shan

In this paper we present a large data base of weak lensing light cones constructed using different snapshots from the Big MultiDark simulation (BigMDPL). The ray-tracing through different multiple plane has been performed with the GLAMER code accounting bo ...

Organic-inorganic-hybrid-polymer microlens arrays with tailored optical characteristics and multi-focal properties

Jürgen Brugger, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Loïc Jacot-Descombes

Plano-convex microlens arrays of organic-inorganic polymers with tailored optical properties are presented. The fine-tuning of each microlens within an array is achieved by confining inkjet printed drops of the polymeric ink onto pre-patterned substrates. ...

Interactive Real-Time Simulation and Auralization for Modifiable Rooms

Dirk Schröder

To study the effects of any changes to a room or setting on the room acoustics, a framework was developed that enables immediate acoustic and visual feedback to the user. This is achieved by running interactive room acoustics simulations and auralizations ...
