Narrowband Optical Coupler Using Fano Interference in First Order Diffraction

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Giorgio Quaranta, Fabian Michael Lütolf

Light coupling in waveguides has been extensively investigated in a variety of contexts, from photonic integrated circuits to biosensing and near-eye displays for augmented reality. Here, narrowband diffraction is reported using a Fano interference effect ...

Inverse design of diffractive optical elements using step-transition perturbation approach

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements are ultra-thin optical components required for a variety of applications because of their high design flexibility. We introduce a gradient-based optimization method based on a step-transition perturbation approach which is an e ...

WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2021

The generation of wide-angle diffraction patterns can be done in different ways using either thin diffractive optical elements with small features sizes or arrays of microoptics with large optical paths that are thick diffractive optical elements. Our aim ...

OPTICAL SOC AMER2020

With the emergence of X-ray free-electron lasers, it is possible to investigate the structure of nanoscale samples by employing coherent diffractive imaging in the X-ray spectral regime. In this work, we developed a refinement method for structure reconstr ...

Diffraction artefacts from twins and stacking faults, and the mirage of hexagonal, polytypes or other superstructures

Cyril Cayron

Recently, a hexagonal phase has been reported in high carbon steels in several studies. Here, we show that the electron microscopy results used in these studies were erroneously interpreted. The extra-spots in the diffraction patterns and the odd contrasts ...

Adjoint method and inverse design for diffractive beam splitters

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements with a large diffraction angle require feature sizes down to sub-wavelength dimensions, which require a rigorous electromagnetic computational model for calculation. However, the computational optimization of these diffractive ...

Diffractive Optical Elements Investigation in the Phase Domain

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we demonstrate the advantages of investigating diffractive optical elements in the phase domain. In this regime we can detect features that are not restrained by the diffraction limit and relate them to the geometrical and optical properties o ...

Femtosecond X-ray coherent diffraction of aligned amyloid fibrils on low background graphene

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Here we present a new approach to diffraction imaging of amyloid fibrils, combining a freestanding graphene support and single nanofocused X-ray pulses of femtosecond duration from an X-ray free-electron laser. Due to the very low background scattering fro ...
