Contactless Optical Packaging Concept for Laser to Fiber Coupling

Yves Bellouard, Saood Ibni Nazir

A novel method for the laser to fiber coupling is presented in which coarse alignment is achieved through micromachined v-grooves and mirrors in a fused silica substrate. Furthermore, fine repositioning is done in a noncontact manner by using a femtosecond ...

On the Limits of Precision Glass Molding for Diffractive Optical Elements

Karin Prater

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...

Effect of reactor material and its reuse on photo-Fenton process efficiency at near-neutral pH: Alterations in E-coli inactivation and resorcinol degradation kinetics in water

Stefanos Giannakis, Angelica Varon Lopez

The effect of reactor material (borosilicate and polyethylene terephthalate-PET) and its reuse on the microbiological and chemical decontamination of water by the photo-Fenton reaction at near-neutral pH was assessed. Escherichia coli was used as an indica ...

Optical properties of waveguide-coupled nanowires for sub-wavelength detection in microspectrometer applications

Alessandro Crespi, Toralf Scharf

In this paper we experimentally investigate optical interactions between gold nanowires and fs-laser written waveguides in a view of applications for stationary-wave integrated Fourier-transform spectrometers in a movable mirror configuration. For this pur ...

X-ray-induced Cu deposition and patterning on insulators at room temperature

Giorgio Margaritondo, Ying Chen

X-ray irradiation is shown to trigger the deposition of Cu from solution, at room temperature, on a wide variety of insulating substrates: glass, passivated Si, TiN/Ti/SiO2/Si and photoresists like PMMA and SU-8. The process is suitable for patterning and ...

Multilevel Micro-Structuring of Glassy Carbon for Precision Glass Molding of Diffractive Optical Elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Karin Prater

A consumer market for diffractive optical elements in glass can only be created if high efficient elements are available at affordable prices. In diffractive optics the efficiency and optical properties increases with the number of levels used, but in the ...

Experimentally Facile Controlled Polymerization of N-Carboxyan hydrides (NCAs), Including O-Benzyl-L-threonine NCA

Matthew Gibson

It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...
