We address the general issue of resolving the wave vector in complex electromagnetic media including negative refractive media. This requires us to make a physical choice of the sign of a square root imposed merely by conditions of causality. By considerin ...
LP01-LP02 mode converters based on UV-written intracore gratings have been fabricated for chromatic-dispersion compensation. The mode converters operate in transmission at wavelengths near 1550 nm with spectral bandwidths of 14-25 nm and coupling efficienc ...
We consider the problem of reconstructing superimposed temperature and wind flow fields from acoustic measurements. A new technique based solely on acoustic waves propagation is presented. In contrast to the usual straight ray assumption, a bent ray model ...
First, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is carried out at 300 K together with reflectivity measurements versus temperature from 4 to 300 K, in order to determine the temperature dependence of the refractive index of h-GaN films in the transparent region (35 ...
In this paper we describe the fabrication of a two-dimensional photonic band gap structure by focused electron beam induced deposition. Structure geometry is computed in order to create a light-trapping effect at 632 nm wavelength. Deposits produced using ...
Dispersive samples introduce a wavelength dependent phase distortion to the probe beam. This leads to a noticeable loss of depth resolution in high resolution OCT using broadband light sources. The standard technique to avoid this consequence is to balance ...
Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) carried out at 300 K together with reflectivity measurements performed from 5 to 300 K are used to determine the temperature dependence of the refractive index of hexagonal GaN films between 360 and 600 nm. The refractive in ...
