Real-time Amyloid Aggregation Monitoring with a Photonic Crystal-based Approach
Hans Peter Herzig, Hilal Lashuel, Peter Van der Wal, Vincent Paeder, Lubos Hvozdara, Joab Di Francesco, Valeria Musi, Sara Santi
We propose the application of a new label-free optical technique based on photonic nanostructures to real-time monitor the amyloid-beta 1-42 (Ab(1-42)) fibrillization, including the early stages of the aggregation process, which are related to the onset of ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013CHALLENGES IN MICRO- AND NANO-OPTICS (plenary talk)
Micro-optics describes a family of elements and systems fabricated by modern micromachining. Optical structures with nearly arbitrary shapes and dimensions down to the nanometer can be realized offering a large degree of freedom for the design. The progres ...
2012Role of data processing in measuring temperature gradients with DOE Schardin's schlieren #2
Pramod Rastogi, Sai Siva Gorthi
Flows having a variable fluid density can be visualized with optical methods. Recently, a background distortion technique, which can be considered a type of Schardin's schlieren #2, was proposed to study the refractive index variation in fluid and hence to ...
Elsevier2012A tilted grating interferometer for full vector field differential x-ray phase contrast tomography
Peter Modregger, Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Marco Stampanoni
We report on a setup for differential x-ray phase-contrast imaging and tomography, that measures the full 2D phase-gradient information. The setup uses a simple one-dimensional x-ray grating interferometer, in which the grating structures of the interferom ...

Hans Peter Herzig, Qing Tan, Armando Cosentino
We present the simulation, fabrication, and characterization of a metallic slot grating on a silicon waveguide (30nm slot width for a period of 500nm). According to the simulation, the experimental measured spectrum of the structure exhibits a dip in the n ...
2011Inkjet printing of SU-8 for high-aspect ratio spherical polymeric microstructures
Jürgen Brugger, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Loïc Jacot-Descombes
SU-8 exhibits interesting mechanical and optical properties for various MEMS applications, such as the development of micro lens and ball-like lens arrays. One of the most common method to fabricate such structures, is thermal reflow. However, a promising ...
2011Photosensitivity and stress changes of Ge-free Bi-Al doped silica optical fibers under ArF excimer laser irradiation
Hans Georg Limberger, Christian Ban
The photosensitivity of germanium free Bi-Al-doped silica fibers with different bismuth concentrations was investigated using ArF excimer laser radiation at 193 nm and fiber grating formation. For the fiber with the highest bismuth concentration maximum re ...
