We study the infrared absorption spectra of ultrathin SiO2, films on Si(100) using a first-principles approach, and adopting a model Si(100)-SiO2 interface with a realistic transition structure. We calculate both the transverse-optical and the longitudinal ...
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 ...
We describe a new method for performing simultaneous position-resolved measurements of chromatic dispersion and Brillouin shift along single-mode optical fibers. The technique provides consistent high-resolution and low-noise results for both quantities. O ...
Recently there has been a growing amount of attention devoted to tuneable photonic crystals (PhCs) where the optical response of PhC structures can be dynamically modified. We will show how infiltrating planar PhCs with a synthetic organic material allows ...
The accurate mapping of chromatic-dispersion distribution along single-mode optical fibers with the best spatial resolution ever reported is experimentally demonstrated. The method consists of a new way of probing four-wave-mixing (FWM) efficiency along th ...
The coupling and transmission of transverse and longitudinal fields into apertureless microfabricated near-field optical probes is investigated. Two kinds of probes with different metal coating roughness are considered. Transverse and longitudinal field di ...
We present measurements of the intensity as well as the phase distribution in the various diffraction orders of computer-generated holograms designed to generate a higher order Gauss–Laguerre beam. For the direct measurement of the phase distribution in th ...
We introduce a general scheme for calculating from first principles both the transverse-optical and longitudinal-optical infrared absorption spectra at surfaces or interfaces. A spatial decomposition of the spectra gives the evolution of the infrared activ ...
We present a new technique for simultaneous measurement of chromatic dispersion and Brillouin shift distribution along conventional, single-mode optical fibers used in telecommunications. It is based on performing Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BO ...

Direct measurements of longitudinal (d(33)) and transverse (d(31)) piezoelectric coefficients have been made on cuboid samples of 001-poled 0.955Pb[Zn1/3Nb2/3]O-3-0.045PbTiO(3) (PZN-4.5PT) and 0.68Pb[Mg1/3Nb2/3]O-3-0.32PbTiO(3) (PMN-32PT) single cryst ...
