High volume confinement in two-photon total-internal- reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Iwan Märki, Denis Ivanov

We report results on two-photon total-internal-reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with radially polarized light. The combination of liquid crystal spatial light modulator, providing radial polarization, with ultrafast laser (picosecond Nd:GdV ...

Long range epitaxial growth of prismatic heterostructures on the facets of catalyst-free GaAs nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Sonia Conesa Boj

Molecular beam epitaxy is used for the synthesis of catalyst-free GaAs nanowires and related quantum heterostructures. After growth of the nanowire GaAs core, the conditions are changed in situ towards standard MBE planar growth in order to obtain quantum ...

Brillouin Distributed Fibre Sensing: State of the Art and Perspectives

Luc Thévenaz

Developed societies require more and more information for their safety and for their economic development. Recent disasters due to landslides, fires in tunnels and collapses of bridges are a source of serious concern on the part of the public which seeks f ...

Three-dimensional electronic devices fabricated on a top-down silicon nanowire platform

Kirsten Emilie Moselund

For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...

A semiclassical approach for electro-optic effect

Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

In this article, we present a semiclassical approach for modeling of electro-optic (EO) effect. We calculate phase retardation between x and y polarizations of optical electric field when a transverse external electric field is applied. Our results are wel ...

Simple technique to achieve fast light in gain regime using Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

We describe a novel technique based on stimulated Brillouin scattering for propagating fast light (signal advancement) with low distortion in optical fibers. The essence of the technique relies on the presence of two separate gain resonances in the Brillou ...

Advanced trends in nonlinear optics applied to distributed optical-fibre sensors

Dario Alasia

The distributed optical-fibre sensors based on the properties of Brillouin scattering is the central object of this thesis. In the past decade, optical fibres have gained a large interest as sensors: attractive solutions based on the non-linear stimulated ...

Optical injection of charge current in quantum wires: oscillations induced by excitonic effects

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Marti

We investigate the charge current that is optically injected by interference between one- and two-photon excitation in the presence of excitonic effects. We consider a realistic V-shaped quantum wire excited slightly below the band gap by two simultaneous ...
