Fourier transform spectroscopy in the vibrational fingerprint region with a birefringent interferometer

We introduce a birefringent interferometer for Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy in the mid-infrared, covering the vibrational fingerprint region (5-10 µm, 1000-2000 cm-1), which is crucial for molecular identification. Our interferometer empl ...

Buckling patterns in biaxially pre-stretched bilayer shells: wrinkles, creases, folds and fracture-like ridges

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We introduce a new experimental system to study the effects of pre-stretch on the buckling patterns that emerge from the biaxial compression of elastomeric bilayer shells. Upon fabrication of the samples, releasing the pre-stretch in the substrate through ...

Clocking the onset of bilayer coherence in a high- Tc cuprate

Fabrizio Carbone, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Edoardo Baldini, Andreas Helmut Christian Mann, Dragan Mihailovic

In cuprates, a precursor state of superconductivity is speculated to exist above the critical temperature TC. Here we show via a combination of far-infrared ellipsometry and ultrafast broadband optical spectroscopy that signatures of such a state can be ob ...

Uniaxial 2D Superlattice of Fe-4 Molecular Magnets on Graphene

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Luca Gragnaniello, Fabian Paschke

We demonstrate that electrospray deposition enables the fabrication of highly periodic self-assembled arrays of Fe4H single molecule magnets on graphene/Ir(111). The energetic positions of molecular states are probed by means of scanning tunneling spectros ...

Scaling effect and its impact on wavelength-scale microlenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We revisit the scaling laws in micro-optical systems to highlight new phenomena arising beyond a conventional optical regime, especially when the size of the system approaches to the operational wavelength. Our goal is to visualize the impact of the scalin ...

All-optical flip-flops based on dynamic Brillouin gratings in fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

A method to generate an all-optical flip-flop is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on dynamic Brillouin gratings (DBGs) in polarization maintaining fibers. In a fiber with sufficiently uniform birefringence, this flip-flop can provide extremel ...

Method and apparatus for measuring the local birefingence along an optical waveguide

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

This invention relates to a system and method to determine the distributed birefringence profile along an optical fibre. Birefringence manifests as different refractive indices for two orthogonal states of polarization of the light propagating in the optic ...
