A confined, evanescent nano-source based on the excitation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) on structured thin metal films is proposed. With the help of a suitable cavity, we numerically demonstrate that it is possible to trap SPP over a spatial region ...
A study of the optical properties of microfabricated, fully-metal-coated quartz probes collecting longitudinal and transverse optical fields is presented. The measurements are performed by raster scanning the focal plane of an objective, focusing azimuthal ...
We present the design, analysis and characterization of a polarization-independent tunable resonant grating filter. Polarization independence is achieved by setting the plane of incidence parallel to the grating grooves and optimizing the fill factor to ob ...
We investigate the small-particle phonon-polariton response of several microstructures that are made of silicon carbide (SiC). Phonon polaritons can be excited in a wavelength region between 10 and 12 μm. Simple structures such as elliptical cylinders supp ...
We present results of the optical characterization of silicon photonic crystal waveguides and microcavities that are completely buried in a silicon dioxide cladding and are fabricated by deep ultraviolet (UV) lithography. The advantages of buried waveguide ...
Fully-metal-coated near-field optical probes, based on a cantilever design, have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Numerical simulations prove that these structures allow non-zero modal emission of the electromagnetic field trough a 60 nm thic ...
We apply heterodyne scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to observe with subwavelength resolution the amplitude and phase of optical fields propagating in several microfabricated waveguide devices operating around the 1.55 mu m wavelength. Good ag ...
We present our investigation of the torque exerted on dielectric elliptical cylinders by highly focused laser beams. The calculations are performed with rigorous diffraction theory, and the size-dependent torque is analyzed as a function of the axis ratio. ...
We present all-optical tuning and switching of a microcavity inside a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. The photonic crystal structure is fabricated in silicon-on-insulator using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor processing techniques based ...
We present two methods based on the analysis of Fabry-Perot interference for a detailed characterization of a 90degrees corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide fabricated in a thin Si membrane. These methods are a means of identifying the cr ...
