Radiation loss of photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Nicolas Le Thomas, Jana Jágerská

We experimentally investigate the out-of-plane radiation losses of photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides. We observe a strong variation in the losses along the dispersion curve and show that such variation is closely linked with the specific far-field ...

A gamma, x-ray and high energy proton radiation-tolerant CIS for space applications

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Lucio Carrara, Cristiano Niclass, Noémy Scheidegger

Photon counting is useful in space-based imagers wherever quantitative light- intensity evaluation is necessary. Various types of radiation, from cosmic rays to high-energy proton beams to gamma radiation, have an effect on the functionality and accuracy o ...

Material degradation under DEMO relevant neutron fluences

Nadine Baluc

In fusion power reactors, the plasma facing and breeding-blanket components will suffer intense irradiation by 14MeV neutrons. These high-energy fusion neutrons will produce atomic displacement cascades and nuclear transmutation reactions inside the irradi ...

Molecular dynamics simulation of radiation damage in bcc tungsten

Molecular dynamics simulations of collision cascades in pure tungsten are performed to assess the primary damage due to irradiation. For short-range interaction the universal potential is used [1], while for long-range interaction, three different embedded ...

High-resolution low-dose scanning transmission electron microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

During the past two decades instrumentation in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has pushed toward higher intensity electron probes to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of recorded images. While this is suitable for robust specimens, biolog ...

Runaway electron energy measurement using hard x-ray spectroscopy in "Damavand" tokamak

Davoud Iraji

Set of experiments has been developed to study existing runaway electrons in "Damavand" tokamak plasma upon characteristics of hard x-ray emissions produced by collision of the runaway electrons with the plasma particles and limiters. As a first step, spat ...

Physical aspects of colossal dielectric constant material CaCu3Ti4O12 thin films

Paul Muralt

The underlying physical mechanism of the so-called colossal dielectric constant phenomenon in CaCu3Ti4O12 CCTO thin films were investigated by using semiconductor theories and methods. The semiconductivity of CCTO thin films originated from the acceptor de ...

A Study of the Effects of Gamma Radiation on CMOS Single=Photon Avalanche Diodes

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Lucio Carrara, Cristiano Niclass, Marek Gersbach, Noémy Scheidegger

The paper reports on the effects of Gamma radiation to single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study ever conducted on SPADs fabricated in CMOS technology. A typical CMOS SPAD consists of a pn junction revers ...

Experimental comparison between conventional and hybrid long-range surface plasmon waveguide bends

Olivier Martin, Claudio Dellagiacoma

We report on the characterization of long-range surface plasmon waveguide bends at telecom wavelengths (lambda=1550 nm). The structures consist of a thin Au stripe embedded in a transparent polymer film. When the polymer thickness is larger than the latera ...
