Optofluidic applications with lithium niobate nanowires

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Jae-Woo Choi

We report the hydrothermal synthesis of free-standing lithium niobate nanowires. We show that the versatile properties of bulk lithium niobate such as nonlinear optical effects can be exploited at the nanoscale. We describe the fabrication of polydimethyls ...

Nonlinear optical properties of core-shell nanocavities for enhanced second-harmonic generation

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh

A nonlinear optical plasmonic core-shell nanocavity is demonstrated as an efficient, subwavelength coherent light source through second-harmonic generation. The nonlinear optical plasmonic nanocavity incorporates a noncentrosymmetric medium, which utilizes ...

Diffraction tomography for biological cells imaging using digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Cristian Arfire

Many biological objects are mainly transparent and weakly scattering, thus a promising (and already widely used) way of imaging them consists in considering optical refractive index variations. The method proposed here permits 3D imaging of the refractive ...

Inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman microscopy

Demetri Psaltis, Ho Ling Li, Kun Shi

We demonstrate a simple approach for inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, in which a layer of uniform nonlinear medium is placed in front of a specimen to be imaged. The reference wave created by four-wave mixing in t ...

Metallic Optical Nanostructures: a Solution for Planar Integrated Sensors on Waveguides

Hans Peter Herzig, Qing Tan, Armando Cosentino

We study the optical properties of two different metallic nanostructure arrays for lable-free sensing applications. The sensors are optimized to detect refractive index (RI) variations. The optical interaction between light and analyte is enhanced by field ...

The stress-assisted enhancement of piezoelectric properties due to mechanically incompatible domain structures in BaTiO3

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Dragan Damjanovic, Tomas Sluka, Enrico Colla, Mahamudu Mtebwa

The piezoelectric properties of tetragonal BaTiO3 (BTO) crystals with a high density of 90° twin domain boundaries were experimentally investigated by Wada and Tsurumi (2004 Br. Ceram. Trans. 103 93). These crystals with engineered dense domain structures ...

Exciton-polariton spin switches

Romuald Houdré, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

Integrated switching devices comprise the building blocks of ultrafast optical signal processing(1,2). As the next stage following intensity switching(1,3,4), circular polarization switches(5-9) are attracting considerable interest because of their applica ...

Determination of local refractive index variations in thin films by heterodyne interferometric scanning near-field optical microscopy

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Ali Dabirian, Yury Kuzminykh, Giacomo Benvenuti, Maria-Pilar Bernal

We report on a heterodyne interferometric scanning near-field optical microscope developed for characterizing, at the nanometric scale, refractive index variations in thin films. An optical lateral resolution of 80 nm (lambda/19) and a precision smaller th ...

Characterization of natural sand under complex dynamic loading

Laurent Vulliet, Emilie Rascol

An experimental study, conducted with an advanced triaxial press, evaluates the effect of different loading paths on the dynamic behavior of natural Swiss sand. Emphasis is put on comparison between the dynamic parameters evaluated in a single loading (wit ...
