High Quality Factor Confinement Of Bloch Surface Waves At Visible Wavelengths

Hans Peter Herzig, Gaël David Osowiecki, Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Raphaël Barbey

We report the first experimental demonstration of high quality factor confinement of Bloch surface waves at visible wavelengths. The cavities consist of planar Fabry-Perot resonators that are fabricated on top of a Bloch surface supporting substrate. This ...

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...

Polarization controlled directional propagation of Bloch Surface Wave

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Maria-Pilar Bernal

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are recently developing alternative to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Due to dramatically enhanced propagation distance and strong field confinement these surface states can be successfully used in on-chip all-optical integra ...

Experimental investigation of the propagation properties of Bloch surface waves on dielectric multilayer platform

Hans Peter Herzig, Elsie Barakat, Richa Dubey

Background: The periodic dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves have been proposed as a platformfor the sensing applications and the two dimensional integrated optics. In this paper, we present the experimental and theoretical investigation ...

Subwavelength Focusing of Bloch Surface Waves

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

Microsized spheres can focus light into subwavelength spatial domains, a phenomenon called photonic nanojet. Even though well studied in three-dimensional (3D) configurations, only a few attempts have been reported to observe similar phenomena in two-dimen ...

Real-time binding kinetics of ligand-receptor interactions

Ekaterina Rostova

In principle, a major goal in drug development is to design a high-affinity compound with an appropriate pharmacological response, which requires understanding of physical processes underlying the drug-target interaction, affinity and specificity. This dru ...

We experimentally demonstrate the optical properties of gratings engraved in a single-mode waveguide fabricated on top of a dielectric multilayer platform. The structure can be approached as a reflector for Bloch-surface-wavebased two-dimensional optical s ...

Optical biosensors based on photonic crystal surface waves (PC SWs) offer a possibility to study binding interactions with living cells, overcoming the limitation of rather small evanescent field penetration depth into a sample medium that is characteristi ...

Miniaturized plasmonic and photonic integrated circuits are generally considered as the core of future generations of optoelectronic devices, due to their potential to bridge the size-compatibility gap between photonics and electronics. However, as the nan ...

We present the results of experimental investigations of the ultralong-range propagating magnetoplasmons in the specially designed heterostructure. The propagation distance of the surface plasmon increases up to 35 pm due to the inclusion of the photonic c ...
