A label-free biosensor device based on registration of photonic crystal surface waves is described. Angular interrogation of the optical surface wave resonance is used to detect changes in the thickness of an adsorbed layer, while an additional simultaneou ...
Thin film silicon solar cells are an attractive option for the production of sustainable energy but their low response at long wavelengths requires additional measures for absorption enhancement. The most successful concepts are based on light scattering i ...
Thin film silicon solar cells are attractive for photovoltaics; however, the poor charge transport in this material requires that the devices are thinner than the absorption length. Adequate absorption can nevertheless be achieved by light scattering at te ...
Droplet impact is ubiquitous in our everyday experience; yet many mysteries associated with the phenomenon remain, including the role played by air during the impact process. When a liquid meets a solid surface in an atmosphere, it must drain the air benea ...
Plasmonic dipole antennas are powerful optical devices for many applications since they combine a high field enhancement with outstanding tunability of their resonance frequency. The field enhancement, which is mainly localized inside the nanogap between b ...

The Colladon symposium is a public event that will honor the physicist Jean-Daniel Colladon (1802-1890). He was a scientist born in Geneva and well known for his measurements of the speed of sound in the lake of Geneva, his development of tunnel drilling m ...
We report on the development of an opto-fluidic waveguide coupling mechanism for planar solar concentration. This mechanism is self-adaptive and light-responsive to efficiently maintain waveguide coupling and concentration independent of incoming light's d ...
Solar concentrator systems rely on focusing a large collecting aperture onto a small one where a high efficiency solar cell is placed. The main drawback of concentrator systems is the need to track the direction of the sun. We report on the development of ...

We presented a pneumatically tunable 2 x 2 optofluidic switch for on-chip light routing that was controlled by compressed air. The device was fabricated with an optically clear elastomer-polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS)-by soft-lithography. The optical switchi ...
When sound reflects from an irregular architectural surface, it spreads spatially and temporally. Extensive research has been devoted to prediction and measurement of diffusion, but less has focused on its perceptual effects. This paper examines the effect ...
