In nature strong colors play an important role in scaring away predators or finding a mate. Often, the strongest and brightest colors arise from coherent scattering and reflection on periodic structures on a length scale of several micro- or nanometers. Un ...
Gold crescent-shaped nanoparticles, exhibiting multiple resonances in the visible and near-infrared spectral region, were characterized in terms of their optical response to thin dielectric coatings. A strong red shift of the resonances is observed upon th ...
Highly sensitive photodetectors for the mid-infrared have recently been obtained by placing a photodiode inside a Fabry-Pérot cavity (Arnold et al 2005 Appl. Phys. Lett. 87 141103). These resonant cavity enhanced detectors (RCED) are sensitive at the res ...
An interactive Java applet for real-time simulation and visualization Of the transmittance properties of multiple interference dielectric filters is presented. The Most commonly used interference filters as well as the state-of-the-art ones are embedded in ...
We study how retardation leads to interference effects in radiatively coupled plasmonic nanoparticles. We show that inclined illumination through a glass substrate on two plasmonic particles results in either an enhanced field or an attenuated field locali ...
WC/amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films were deposited by dual magnetron sputtering from individual WC and graphite targets. The influence of film composition and microstructure on the optical and electrical properties was investigated. As evidenced by x-ray ...
Making daylight more available in buildings is highly desirable for reasons of energy efficiency, visual comfort, occupant well-being and health. The Anidolic Integrated Ceiling (AIC) is a highly efficient daylighting system, designed to gather and redirec ...
Amazing and beautiful optical effects are present in Nature. Some examples are the iridescent colors produced by peacocks, butterflies and beetles. While the simulations of some of these structures have already been realized, only a few elements have been ...

We are developing micromirror arrays (MMA) for future generation infrared multiobject spectroscopy (MOS) requiring cryogenic environment. So far we successfully realized small arrays of 5 x 5 single-crystalline silicon micromirrors. The 100 mu m x 200 mu m ...

We report on the experimental investigation of a high-frequency (1 MHz-1.8 GHz) dielectric dispersion in unpoled and poled Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 ceramics. Two overlapping loss peaks could be revealed in the dielectric spectrum. The linear dependence between the low ...
