We present an extremely versatile method for the lateral organization of nano-scale objects (NOs) based on the phenomenon of polymer demixing. NOs are suspended in a soln. of two immiscible polymers, which is used to form a thin polymer film by spin coatin ...
Patterning of micro- and nanometer scale structures by means of nanostencils (shadow masks) is increasingly being used as a simple, clean and low-cost alternative to photolithography. It can be shown, that sub-100-nm scale features can be fabricated throug ...
In this paper, the authors introduce multibit all-optical memory devices in nanostructured photonic-crystal circuits using only intrinsic nonresonant optical nonlinearities of semiconductors. Introduced devices can record incoming pulses at speeds of 10 Gb ...
A tool and method for flexible and rapid surface patterning technique beyond lithography based on high-resolution shadow mask method, or nanostencil, is presented. This new type of miniaturized shadow mask is fabricated by a combination of MEMS processes a ...
We present the design and analysis of a tunable resonant optical filter based on modulation of the near-field coupling between two subwavelength periodic nanostructures embedded in a Fabry-Pérot cavity. Due to the transverse localization of the optical fie ...
This work presents the development of an original concept of a side pumped diode pumped crystal laser for the generation of a high power near diffraction limited beam for material processing applications such as cutting, marking and drilling. An approach b ...
By combining the field-susceptibility technique with the optical Bloch equations, a general formalism is developed for the investigation of molecular photophysical phenomena triggered by nanometer scale optical fields in the presence of complex environment ...
We have investigated the polarization properties of photoluminescence and Raman scattering in strongly coupled organic microcavities containing cyanine dye J aggregates. The birefringence of radially aligned J aggregates results in a large energy splitting ...
A simplified process to fabricate high aspect ratio nanostructures in silicon combining electron beam lithography and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is presented. A stable process (HARSiN) has been developed without the need for complicated resist/hard m ...
We study the coupling induced by retardation effects when two plasmon-resonant nanoparticles are interacting. This coupling leads to an additional resonance, the strength of which depends on a subtle balance between particle separation and size. The scatte ...
