Photon superbunching from a generic tunnel junction

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Abhishek Grewal

Generating time-correlated photon pairs at the nanoscale is a prerequisite to creating highly integrated optoelectronic circuits that perform quantum computing tasks based on heralded single photons. Here, we demonstrate fulfilling this requirement with a ...

Micro-structuring of glassy carbon for precision glass molding of binary diffractive optical elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Karin Prater

Precision glass molding is a more cost efficient process for the large volume manufacturing of highly complex optical surfaces than direct manufacturing. Glassy carbon (GC) molds are used for precision glass molding, because they can be operated at tempera ...

Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...

Design of periodic nano- and macro-scale textures for high-performance thin-film multi-junction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

Surface textures in thin-film silicon multi-junction solar cells play an important role in gaining the photocurrent of the devices. In this paper, a design of the textures is carried out for the case of amorphous silicon/micro-crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/m ...

Beam propagation and stray radiation in the ITER EC H&CD Upper Launcher

Timothy Goodman, Matthieu Toussaint

The four ITER Electron Cyclotron Upper Launchers (UL) are designed to control Magneto-Hydrodynamic instabilities with the deposition of Electron Cyclotron power. According to the present design, each launcher comprises two rows of four input waveguides, wh ...

Physically-based in silico light sheet microscopy for visualizing fluorescent brain models

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Stefan Eilemann, Ahmet Bilgili

We present a physically-based computational model of the light sheet fluorescence microscope (LSFM). Based on Monte Carlo ray tracing and geometric optics, our method simulates the operational aspects and image formation process of the LSFM. This simulated ...

Generation of 0.9-mJ THz pulses in DSTMS pumped by a Cr:Mg2SiO4 laser

Christoph Peter Hauri

We report on high-field terahertz transients with 0.9-mJ pulse energy produced in a 400 mm(2) partitioned organic crystal by optical rectification of a 30-mJ laser pulse centered at 1.25 mu m wavelength. The phase-locked single-cycle terahertz pulses cover ...

Grazing angle X-ray fluorescence from periodic structures on silicon and silica surfaces

Andreea Veronica Savu, Wei Cao

Various 3-dimensional nano-scaled periodic structures with different configurations and periods deposited on the surface of silicon and silica substrates were investigated by means of the grazing incidence and grazing emission X-ray fluorescence techniques ...
