Dielectric microspheres with appropriate refractive index can image objects with super-resolution, that is, with a precision well beyond the classical diffraction limit. A microsphere is also known to generate upon illumination a photonic nanojet, which is ...
Miniaturized optical systems show often unconventional responses compare to larger systems of the same design. We investigate such new phenomena using microlenses, and demonstrate characteristics beyond the refraction limit of the micro-optical systems. ...
Nano-objects (8) with feature size smaller than the classical Abbe's diffraction limit can be optically detected via a microlens (4) array configured in a miniaturized microfluidic device. A hydrophilic microwell (3) array in a hydrophobic layer (2) is fir ...
Refractive index matched particle image velocimetry (RIM-PIV) is an elegant method to measure velocity fields around complex geometries and in difficultly accessible areas. The accuracy of RIM-PIV is strongly affected by the quality of refractive index mat ...
Metamaterials are artificially structured materials possessing exotic electromagnetic or acoustic properties that are not readily available in nature, for instance synthesizing negative, zero, or very large index of refraction. Their exotic features are ty ...

Dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are considered as a novel platform for two dimensional (2D) integrated optics. The dielectric platform is exploited to manipulate surface waves by patterning 2D dielectric optical components on t ...

Parity-Time (PT) symmetry refers to the invariance of a physical system upon reflection of space and time. An intriguing property of PT-symmetric quantum systems is the fact that they can have entirely real eigenvalue spectra, despite being non-Hermitian. ...
Various 3-dimensional nano-scaled periodic structures with different configurations and periods deposited on the surface of silicon and silica substrates were investigated by means of the grazing incidence and grazing emission X-ray fluorescence techniques ...
A method and apparatus for producing a reflective or refractive surface that reflects or refracts light shined thereon and reproduces on a screen a desired greyscale intensity image on which the reflective or refractive surface is based and a corresponding ...
This work reports a simple, miniaturized optical sensing module for liquid refractometry. It is based on a stable Fabry-Perot resonator consisting of two silicon cylindrical mirrors with a cylindrical lens in the core. The lens is formed by a capillary tub ...
