Methods for acute and long-term imaging of the ventral nerve cord in behaving adult Drosophila
Understanding how neural circuits remodel and adapt to animal behavior is a central theme in the field of Neuroscience. One strategy to reach this goal is to repeatedly record the same animal's neural circuits and observe how they adapt when facing differe ...
EPFL2022Metasurfaces for label-free biosensing mid-infrared optics and active photonic devices
Novel two-dimensional metamaterials, known as metasurfaces, have emerged as a breakthrough platform for controlling electromagnetic wave properties at the nanoscale. These metasurfaces consist of subwavelength nanoantennas or so-called meta-atoms, which ca ...
EPFL2021All-Dielectric Programmable Huygens' Metasurfaces
Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Aleksandrs Leitis
Low-loss nanostructured dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as a breakthrough platform for ultrathin optics and cutting-edge photonic applications, including beam shaping, focusing, and holography. However, the static nature of their constituent materials ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2020Advanced Diamond Microfabrication for Microoptics and Photonics
Diamond is an exceptional material - hard, stiff, transparent, which makes it ideal for the fabrication
of optical and mechanical systems that take advantage of these properties. Diamond
is not only "better", but it offers the possibility of integrating br ...
EPFL2019All-optically induced quasi phase matching in SiN waveguides for second harmonic generation enhancement
Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Adrien Billat
We report more than 30dB second harmonic generation enhancement in SiN waveguide by all-optical writing of a persistent χ(2) grating. Phase matching peaks are observed for different writing wavelengths. ...
OSA Publishing2017Multilevel-cell phase-change memory
In the modern digital era of big data applications, there is an ever-increasing demand for higher memory capacity that is both reliable and cost effective. In the domain of non-volatile memory systems, Flash-based storage devices have dominated the consume ...
EPFL2016Living on the Edge: Re-shaping the Interface of Synthetic Biology and Nanotechnology
Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu
A new team of researchers at EPFL is taking an 'anti-disciplinary' approach to creating optical devices. These devices take advantage of the synergy in tuning both nano- and bio-material properties, coupling 'the advantages of two growing, albeit tradition ...
Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft2016Nanocrystalline Low-Refractive Magnesium Fluoride Films Deposited by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering: Optical and Structural Properties
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Paul Muralt, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Stefan Mertin
In this work, we study MgF2 thin-film synthesis by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a metallic magnesium target in a gas mixture of argon, oxygen, and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). Nanocrystalline films on silicon and glass substrates with excell ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Fast Crystallization of the Phase Change Compound GeTe by Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli, Federico Giberti
Phase change materials are of great interest as active layers in rewritable optical disks and novel electronic nonvolatile memories. These applications rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the amorphous and crystalline phases upon heating, ...
Amer Chemical Soc2013Diffraction-unlimited all-optical imaging and writing with a photochromic GFP
Lens-based optical microscopy failed to discern fluorescent features closer than 200 nm for decades, but the recent breaking of the diffraction resolution barrier by sequentially switching the fluorescence capability of adjacent features on and off is maki ...
