Sensing of Surface and Bulk Refractive Index Using Magnetophotonic Crystal with Hybrid Magneto-Optical Response

We propose an all-dielectric magneto-photonic crystal with a hybrid magneto-optical response that allows for the simultaneous measurements of the surface and bulk refractive index of the analyzed substance. The approach is based on two different spectral ...

The relative contribution of secondary ice processes in Alpine mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

In-situ observations of mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) forming over mountain tops regularly reveal that ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) are orders of magnitude higher than ice-nucleating particle concentrations. This discrepancy has often been attribu ...

Shapes of rotating normal fluid He-3 versus superfluid He-4 droplets in molecular beams

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and x-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid He-4 droplets obtained in a free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar experiments ...

Effects of multiple scattering on angle-independent structural color in disordered colloidal materials

Sofia Magkiriadou

Disordered packings of colloidal spheres show angle-independent structural color when the particles are on the scale of the wavelength of visible light. Previous work has shown that the positions of the peaks in the reflectance spectra can be predicted acc ...

Blue-shift ultrasensitivity using rhombus-shaped plasmonic crystal on Si3N4 membrane

Bahareh Ghadiani, Dordaneh Etezadi, Yasaman Jahani, Ershad Mohammadi, Foziyeh Sohrabi, Mahdi Tamizifar

Harnessing ultrasensitivity from optical structures to detect tiny changes in the targeted samples is the main goal of scientists in the field of sensor design. In this study, an uncommon rhombus-shape plasmonic structure is proposed for providing blue-shi ...

Adjoint method and inverse design for diffractive beam splitters

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements with a large diffraction angle require feature sizes down to sub-wavelength dimensions, which require a rigorous electromagnetic computational model for calculation. However, the computational optimization of these diffractive ...

The microfluidic nebulator: production of submicrometer sized airborne drops

Esther Amstad

Many powders employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries are produced through spray drying because it is a cost efficient process that offers control over the particle size. However, most commercially available spray-driers cannot produce drops with ...
