Liquid-crystal electric tuning of a photonic crystal laser

An electrically tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser was analyzed. LC tuning of the PC laser was demonstrated by recording the lasing wavelength as a function of the voltage applied across the LC cell. The PC laser betw ...

Symmetrically arranged quartz tuning fork with soft cantilever for intermittent contact mode atomic force microscopy

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

The dynamic mode atomic force microscopy based on a microfabricated cantilever and a commercial quartz tuning fork was probed. The probe was self-sensing and self-actuating. The tuning fork performed the function of a force sensor. The amplitude and freque ...

Self-sensing and self-actuating probe based on quartz tuning fork combined with microfabricated cantilever for dynamic mode atomic force microscopy

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

A novel probe based on a commercial quartz tuning fork and a microfabricated cantilever is presented. The U-shaped cantilever with a monolithic tip is combined with the tuning fork in a symmetrical arrangement, such that each of the two legs of the cantile ...

Reed vibration in lingual organ pipes without the resonators

Vibrations of plucked and blown reeds of lingual organ pipes without the resonators have been investigated. Three rather surprising phenomena are observed: the frequency of the reed plucked by hand is shifted upwards for large-amplitude plucking, the blown ...

Ultra stable tuning fork sensor for low-temperature near-field spectroscopy

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Andrea Crottini, Xiao Wang

We report on a distance control system for low-temperature scanning near-field optical microscopy, based on quartz tuning fork as shear force sensor. By means of a particular tuning fork optical fiber configuration, the sensor is electrically dithered by a ...

An interface for the interactive design of artistic screens

Roger Hersch

The article presents the concepts and the tools involved in the interactive design of artistic screens. The screen elements are derived from a small set of analytical contours provided by the screen designer. We present the requirements that these contours ...

ROTATIONAL STATE-SELECTED VIBRATIONAL OVERTONE SPECTROSCOPY OF JET-COOLED MOLECULES

Thomas Rizzo

The combination of infrared-optical double resonance excitation with infrared laser assisted photofragment spectroscopy (IRLAPS) detection permits the measurement of rotationally resolved vibrational overtone spectra of jet-cooled CF3H. The IRLAPS detectio ...
