We present practical and theoretical, stage-by-stage analysis of light propagation around a 90degrees corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. Using a series of different samples we quantify the coupling efficiency between the conventional r ...
We have employed femtosecond laser writing in order to induce refractive- index changes and waveguides in Ti3+-doped sapphire. Doping the sapphire crystal with an appropriate ion significantly reduces the threshold for creating structural changes, thus e ...
This is a tutorial paper on the properties of partially coherent hard x-ray beams and their use in the structural analysis of condensed matter. The role of synchrotron radiation in the generation of coherent x-ray beams is highlighted and the requirements ...
We present two methods based on the analysis of Fabry-Perot interference for a detailed characterization of a 90degrees corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide fabricated in a thin Si membrane. These methods are a means of identifying the cr ...

Two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs) at near-infrared wavelengths are promising candidates for novel integrated optics applications. The main focus being on 'all PhC' monolithically integrated optical circuits. Because of well established fabricat ...
The pioneering paper by H. Schichl and A. Neumaier has founded the fundamentals of interval analysis on DAGs for global optimization, including a fundamental of constraint propagation. In this paper, we extend the constraint propagation technique for solvi ...
In recent years, optical gas detectors based on a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer has become more and more important for monitoring trace gases in atmospheric, medical, and industrial processes. In the medical field, blood gases, essentially pO ...

Femtosecond writing of refractive-index changes in sapphire is demonstrated by doping the crystal with an appropriate ion (here: Ti3+) that reduces the threshold of the process. Passive and active buried channel waveguiding is demonstrated. ...
