Enantiomerically Pure Alleno-Acetylenic Macrocycles: Synthesis, Solid-State Structures, Chiroptical Properties, and Electron Localization Function Analysis

New enantiomerically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles were prepd. by oxidative homocoupling of optically active 1,3-diethynylallenes. Enantiomer sepn. resulted from a combined strategy of synthesis and chiral HPLC techniques. Two other achiral stereoisom ...

Optical stability of axially chiral push-pull-substituted buta-1,3dienes: Effect of a single methyl group on the C60 surface

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

A new spin on C60: Axially chiral, pushpull buta-1,3-diene chromophores conjugated to vicinally methylated fullerenes (see picture) have high barriers of rotation about their chiral axes. These high barriers allowed their optical resolution and the determi ...

Near-field polarization measurements based on two arbitrary, orthogonal optical field components

Olivier Martin, Hans Peter Herzig, Libo Yu, Tristan Sfez, Daniele Brunazzo, Francesco Michelotti

Using a multi-heterodyne scanning near-field optical microscope, we detect two arbitrary, orthogonal components of the near field. A numerical treatment of the experimental data allows the retrieval of the transverse and longitudinal components of the mode ...

Spin relaxation of free excitons in narrow GaN/AlxGa1-xN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin

By performing pump-probe experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics of spin-polarized excitons in a wurtzite GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW)grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The circular degree of polarization of the differential reflectivity sign ...

Optomechanically Induced Transparency

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser, Emanuel Gavartin, Stefan Alexander Weis

Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrated a form of induced transparency enabled b ...

A morphotropic phase boundary system based on polarization rotation and polarization extension

Dragan Damjanovic

Many ferroelectric solid solutions exhibit enhanced electromechanical properties at the morphotropic boundary separating two phases with different orientations of polarization. The mechanism of properties enhancement is associated with easy paths for polar ...

Dual-polarized and polarization-flexible reflective cells with dynamic phase control

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier

A reflecting cell allowing the dynamic and independent control of the reflection phase of two perpendicular linearly-polarized waves is presented. This capability is useful for the implementation of dual-polarized beam-reconfigurable reflectarrays, as well ...

Chiral Induction from Allenes into Twisted 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobuta-1,3-dienes (TCBDs): Conformational Assignment by Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

Pablo Rivera Fuentes

The mechanism of chiral induction in an optically pure 1,3-diethynylallene, from the central chiral allene moiety into directly adjacent TCBD chromophores, was confirmed and clarified. Only one low-energy conformer is found in calcns. of the potential ener ...

Organic-based microcavities with vibronic progressions: Linear spectroscopy

In this work we study from a theoretical point of view microcavities embedding organic materials featuring vibronic progressions. As already shown in seminal experiments, the presence of vibronic replicas largely enriches the physics of such systems with t ...

Comments on origins of enhanced piezoelectric properties in ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

This review discusses recent advances in understanding origins of large piezoelectric properties in some ferroelectric materials. In particular, it addresses the role of polarization rotation and monoclinic phases. It is suggested that the polarization rot ...
