Laser Doppler Vibrometer measurements of the 3D pressure field for the estimation of the radiation force produced by an acoustic standing-wave levitator

Acoustic levitation devices use powerful ultrasonic standing waves to levitate objects in mid-air. We have created a system and method to measure the full harmonic content of the acoustic field accurately. Our study revealed that levitated particles alter ...

Wandering principal optical axes in van der Waals triclinic materials

Arslan Mazitov

Nature is abundant in material platforms with anisotropic permittivities arising from symmetry reduction that feature a variety of extraordinary optical effects. Principal optical axes are essential characteristics for these effects that define light-matte ...

Fluorescence crosstalk reduction by modulated excitation-synchronous acquisition for multispectral analysis in high-throughput droplet microfluidics

Christoph Merten, Jatin Panwar

Crosstalk between fluorescent biomarkers significantly limits the resolution of multispectral fluorescence analysis in real-time droplet-microfluidics applications. The crosstalk is a result of overlapping emission and excitation spectra of different fluor ...

Dissipative Solitons and Switching Waves in Dispersion-Modulated Kerr Cavities

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alisa Davydova, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan

We theoretically and experimentally investigate the formation of dissipative coherent structures in Kerr nonlinear optical microresonators, whose spectrum encompasses an integrated dispersion that exceeds the cavity free-spectral range. We are able to acce ...

Thermally reconfigurable metalens

Giulia Tagliabue, Anna Archetti, Nathanaël Restori, Fateme Kiani Shahvandi, Theodoros Tsoulos, Ren-Jie Lin

Reconfigurable metalenses are compact optical components composed by arrays of meta-atoms that offer unique opportunities for advanced optical systems, from microscopy to augmented reality platforms. Although poorly explored in the context of reconfigurabl ...

Advanced methods for Brillouin based distributed optical fiber sensors

Simon Adrien Zaslawski

After more than thirty years of continuous research and development, the performances of conventional Brillouin based distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) are now peaking, as they are facing fundamental barriers that restrict the power of the light inj ...

Generation of strong-field spectrally tunable terahertz pulses

Christoph Peter Hauri

The ideal laser source for nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy offers large versatility delivering both ultra-intense broadband single-cycle pulses and user-selectable multi-cycle pulses at narrow linewidths. Here we show a highly versatile terahertz laser pl ...

System and method for a retinal projector based on a scattering reflector

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser

A retinal projector system, comprising a coupling means, a spacial light modulator, and a tapered optical waveguide having an input side surface and an output side surface, whereby the input side surface is larger than the output side surface, the coupling ...

Performance analysis of the differential pulse-width pair Brillouin optical time domain analysis using the log normalized and linearly normalized gain

Luc Thévenaz, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Zhisheng Yang

The performance of the differential pulse-width pair Brillouin optical time domain analysis (DPP-BOTDA) is evaluated experimentally using either the gain from log normalization or linear normalization for the subtraction of traces collected with pump pulse ...

Soft tunable diffractive optics with multifunctional transparent electrodes enabling integrated actuation

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Xiaobin Ji

We present a stretchable tunable transmission grating in which the optical surface serves simultaneously as an electrode for electrostatic actuation. Tunable optics based on elastomers allow for a large tuning range, but integrating an actuator generally s ...
