The mid-infrared range is of interest in spectroscopic applications, due to the large number of organic compounds that exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this spectral region. Semiconductor technology, however, has been developed mainly for the nea ...
There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...
We have designed and realised a new type of microsystem for the electrical characterisation of arrays of living cells for biomedical diagnostic purposes. We have used deep plasma etching for the fabrication of microholes and micro-fluidic channels in silic ...
This work presents the development of two MEMS programmable diffraction gratings designed for spectroscopic applications in the visible, near- and mid-infrared. These devices have been developed to limit distortion of their optical surfaces at rest and thr ...
Stencil lithography is an innovative method for patterning that has a great flexibility from many points of view. It is based on shadow mask evaporation using thin silicon nitride membranes that allow the patterning of sub-100 nm features up to 100 μm in a ...
The invention relates to a solid immersion lens (SIL) for a microscope, comprising a lens system with a predetermined numerical aperture. The refractive index of the material of the solid immersion lens is selected in such a way that the numerical aperture ...
The performance of many silicon devices is limited by electronic recombination losses at the crystalline silicon (c-Si) surface. A proper surface passivation scheme is needed to allow minimizing these losses. The surface passivation properties of amorphous ...
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 monolithic silicon integrated optical micro-scanner is presented. The device consists of a mirror located an the tip of a thermal bimorph actuator beam. The fabrication process is very simple and compatible with IC fabrication techniques. The device is e ...
