Femtosecond laser-induced modifications and self-organization in complex glass systems

Ultrashort laser pulses, i.e., pulses emitted shorter than a picosecond, can tailor material properties by introducing permanent modifications locally in three dimensions. Remarkably, under a certain exposure condition, these modifications are accompanied ...

A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...

Intraocular Lens Refractive Index and Its Impact on External Surface Reflections

Georges Wagnières

PURPOSE: To determine and compare the origin of the external surface reflections produced by commonly used intraocular lenses (IOLs). ...

Polarization-sensitive optics diffraction tomography

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Amirhossein Saba Shirvan, Ahmed Ayoub

Polarization of light has been widely used as a contrast mechanism in two-dimensional (2D) microscopy and also in some three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities. In this paper, we report the 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index (RI) tensor ...

Sensing of Surface and Bulk Refractive Index Using Magnetophotonic Crystal with Hybrid Magneto-Optical Response

Serguei Sekatski

We propose an all-dielectric magneto-photonic crystal with a hybrid magneto-optical response that allows for the simultaneous measurements of the surface and bulk refractive index of the analyzed substance. The approach is based on two different spectral f ...

Image-based analysis of living mammalian cells using label-free 3D refractive index maps reveals new organelle dynamics and dry mass flux

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Patrick Alain Sandoz

Holo-tomographic microscopy (HTM) is a label-free microscopy method reporting the fine changes of a cell’s refractive indices (RIs) in three dimensions at high spatial and temporal resolution. By combining HTM with epifluorescence, we demonstrate that mamm ...

Optimized Electrolyte Loading and Active Film Thickness for Sandwich Polymer Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Frank Nüesch, Roland Hany, Matthias Diethelm

Effects of ion concentration and active layer thickness play a critical role on the performance of light-emitting electrochemical cells. Expanding on a pioneering materials system comprising the super yellow (SY) polymer and the electrolyte trimethylolprop ...

Complex Refractive Indices of Cesium–Formamidinium-Based Mixed-Halide Perovskites with Optical Band Gaps from 1.5 to 1.8 eV

Christophe Ballif, Jérémie Werner, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Matthias Wolfgang Bräuninger, Gabriel Christmann, Florent Sahli, Arnaud Walter, Sylvain Nicolay, Björn Niesen, Gizem Nogay

Cesium-formamidinium-based mixed-halide perovskite materials with optical band gaps ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 eV are investigated by variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. The determined complex refractive indices are shown to depend on the fabrication p ...

Electromagnetic Waves in a Time Periodic Medium With Step-Varying Refractive Index

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Theodoros Koutserimpas

We present an exact mathematical framework for electromagnetic wave propagation in periodically time-modulated media, in which the permittivity is homogenous and modulated in a step-varying fashion. By using Hill’s equation theory, we show that this proble ...

Determination and optimization of material parameters of particle-based LaTiO2N photoelectrodes

Sophia Haussener, Ulrich Aschauer, Yannick Kenneth Gaudy

We developed a validated numerical model capable of predicting the photocurrent-voltage characteristics of oxide and oxynitride particle-based photoelectrodes and identifying the critical parameters affecting the performance of those photoelectrodes. We us ...
