A continuously tunable optofluidic distributed feedback (DFB) dye laser was demonstrated on a monolithic replica molded poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) chip. The optical feedback was provided by a phase-shifted higher order Bragg grating embedded in the liqu ...
The sol-gel technology offers highly interesting prospects for fiber fabrication. The main advantage is the possibility to incorporate any dopants and co-dopants soluble in a suitable solvent. Generally, these dopants are homogeneously dissolved in the mat ...
We present all-optical tuning and switching of a microcavity inside a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. The photonic crystal structure is fabricated in silicon-on-insulator using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor processing techniques based ...
The precise determination of residual stress profiles in optical fibers allows drawing conclusions about radiation-induced density-changes of the fibers doped core glass. The corresponding index changes partially contribute to the phenomenon of photosensit ...
We demonstrated a continuously tunable optofluidic distributed feedback (DFB) dye laser on a monolithic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer chip. The optical feedback was provided by a phase-shifted higher order Bragg grating embedded in the liquid cor ...
A new and compact photoacoustic sensor for trace gas detection in the 2-2.5 μm atmospheric window is reported. Both the development of antimonide-based DFB lasers with singlemode emission in this spectral range and a novel design of photoacoustic cell adap ...
UV-imprint lithography has attracted attentions since its invention in 1996 together with thermal imprint lithography, which are so-called nanoimprint lithography (NIL). One of the characteristics of UV-imprint lithography is that a polymer layer to be str ...
By introducing a photolabile group in the Watson-Crick base-pairing site of a guanosine residue, a bistable 20-base RNA sequence was forced into a less stable conformation. A single laser pulse released the native sequence, and the subsequent refolding equ ...
Undoped fluoride glass slides have been exposed to pulsed 193-nm ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Their absorption changes have been measured to evaluate UV-induced index changes using Kramers-Kronig relation. A layer-peeling polishing technique was applied t ...
Fiber laser systems have the potential to represent an interesting alternative to more conventional laser sources emitting in the visible spectral range. In this contribution we present new results based on fluoride Pr/Yb- doped fiber systems. This Pr/Yb-d ...
