In this paper, planar waveguides produced by He-ion implantation have been demonstrated in undoped and Yb-doped KY(WO4)2 crystals. The effective refractive indices of guided modes in surface planar waveguides were measured by dark m-line spectroscopy and t ...
We analyze the propagating optical modes in a Silicon membrane photonic crystal waveguide, based on subwavelength-resolution amplitude and phase measurements of the optical fields using a heterodyne near-field scanning optical microscope (H-NSOM). Fourier ...
The present thesis deals with Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) optical switches for telecommunication applications. The aim is to study new type of microsystems for guided-wave optical switching applications. Two projects have been investigated. The ...
A new concept for a 1 × 2 micromechanical optical switch with 10 μs of switching speed, 29 dB of ON/OFF ratio, and insertion loss of −7.22 dB for λ = 1550 nm and −4.96 dB for λ = 635 nm is presented. The idea is to insert a micromechanical switching mechan ...
Sub-ppm (HCl) and (H2O) monitoring using photoacoustic spectroscopy is reported in optical fibre manufacturing for the production of low-water-peak fibres. Contamination sources of the carrier gas used for fibre preforms manufacturing were identified and d ...
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 have employed femtosecond laser writing in order to induce refractive- index changes and waveguides in Ti3+-doped sapphire. Doping the sapphire crystal with an appropriate ion significantly reduces the threshold for creating structural changes, thus e ...
Sensitive photoacoustic detection of methane (CH4), hydrogen chloride (HCI) and water vapour (H2O) in the near-infrared range using semiconductor DFB lasers is reported. A detection limit of 0.17 ppm of CH4, 0.2 ppm of HCI and 0.024 ppm of H2O (signal-to-n ...
Femtosecond writing of refractive-index changes in sapphire is demonstrated by doping the crystal with an appropriate ion (here: Ti3+) that reduces the threshold of the process. Passive and active buried channel waveguiding is demonstrated. ...
