Breaking size segregation waves in experimental bidisperse granular flows.

In the leading edge of a bidisperse gravity-driven granular flow, two opposing mechanisms coexist: size-segregation and mixing. As a result of shear-induced particle segregation, large particles are displaced to upper layers of the flow where they move fas ...

Using effective medium theories to design tailored nanocomposite materials for optical systems

Toralf Scharf, Friedrich Daniel Werdehausen

Modern optical systems are subject to very restrictive performance, size and cost requirements. Especially in portable systems size often is the most important factor, which necessitates elaborate designs to achieve the desired specifications. However, cur ...

Phaseless Diffraction Tomography With Regularized Beam Propagation

Michaël Unser, Demetri Psaltis, Thanh-An Michel Pham, Emmanuel Emilien Louis Soubies, Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez, Alexandre Goy, Joowon Lim

In recent years, researchers have obtained impressive reconstructions of the refractive index (RI) of biological objects through the combined use of advanced physics (nonlinear forward model) and regularization. Here, we propose an adaptation of these tech ...

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 ...

High-Q surface modes in photonic crystal/iron garnet film heterostructures for sensor applications

Giovanni Dietler, Pavel Kapralov

A novel type of a plasmonic sensor based on a magnetophotonic plasmonic heterostructure with an ultrahigh-Q resonance is considered. A magnetoplasmonic resonance with an angular width of 0.06A degrees, which corresponds to a Q factor of 700 and is a record ...

Binary zero-order diffractive and anti-reflective optical elements in silicon for the mid-infrared

Hans Peter Herzig, Grégoire Maxime Smolik

We propose a novel method for the design of binary 2-level diffractive optical elements that provide an efficient diffractive function while reducing the reflectivity of a high-index interface. The structure can be fabricated with a single patterning step ...

SIMToolbox: a MATLAB toolbox for structured illumination fluorescence microscopy

Tomas Lukes

SIMToolbox is an open-source, modular set of functions for MATLAB equipped with a user-friendly graphical interface and designed for processing two-dimensional and three-dimensional data acquired by structured illumination microscopy (SIM). Both optical se ...

System for optical detection and imaging of sub-diffraction-limited nano-objects

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Hui Yang

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 ...

Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...
