Photoinitiator-free Laser Fabrication of Ultra-compact, Low-loss Waveguides in Polydimethylsiloxane

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Giulia Panusa, Ye Pu, Jieping Wang

Owing to its excellent elasticity, wide spectral range of transparency, and outstanding chemical and thermal stability, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer of great technological importance, being widely used in the fabrication of microfluidic and ...

SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING2018

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...

Exciton-polariton flows in cross-dimensional junctions

Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We study the nonequilibrium exciton-polariton condensation in 1D to 0D and 1D to quasi-2D junctions by means of non-resonant spectroscopy. The shape of our potential landscape allows to probe the resonant transmission of a propagating condensate between a ...

Method and apparatus for measuring the local birefingence along an optical waveguide

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

This invention relates to a system and method to determine the distributed birefringence profile along an optical fibre. Birefringence manifests as different refractive indices for two orthogonal states of polarization of the light propagating in the optic ...

GaN-based photonic crystal cavities on silicon for visible and near infrared applications

Noelia Vico Triviño

Photonic crystal (PhC) cavities combine ultra-high quality (Q) factors with small mode volumes, resulting in an enhancement of the light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, which, beyond fundamental studies is advantageous for countless applications in ph ...

Spectral cola or how to turn green laser light red

Xavier François Mettan, Thibaud Humair, Csaba Forro

A green laser pointer shone through a glass of cola will appear red when looking from above the glass. Lowering the laser so that it is deeper in the cola, the colour will vary from orange to deep red. Fluorescence and absorption spectra were recorded cons ...

Optical Coherence Correlation Spectroscopy (OCCS)

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Marcel Leutenegger, Arno Pino Bouwens, Stefan Geissbühler, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Akihiro Sato, Stéphane Broillet

We present optical coherence correlation spectroscopy (OCCS), a novel method to study the motion dynamics of nanoparticles within many observation volumes simultaneously. For this purpose, OCCS combines the key features of dark-field optical coherence micr ...
