On the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with layered dielectric materials
Materials properties are strictly dependent on their microstructure. The internal symmetries and the disposition of the constituting atoms of a material, which depend on its crystallographic structure, greatly affect its response to mechanical, electromagn ...
EPFL2023State-to-state surface scattering of methane studied by bolometric infrared laser tagging detection
State-to-state molecule/surface scattering experiments prepare the incident molecules in a specific quantum state and measure the quantum state distribution of the scattered molecules. The comparison of state resolved experiments with theory can serve as s ...
EPFL2022Ultrafast Laser Direct-Writing of Self-Organized Microstructures in Ge-Sb-S Chalcogenide Glass
The structuring of mid-IR materials, such as chalcogenide glass (ChG), at the micro and nano scales, is of high interest for the fabrication of photonic devices in general, and for spectroscopy applications in particular. One efficient method for producing ...
2022Effect of femtosecond laser-induced high pressure on fused silica polymorphism
High-pressure studies in silica are of great interest to earth and planetary sciences. Highpressure phases are rarely found in nature as a result of shock events like meteorite impacts orvolcanic events in nature. Recreating these phases remains a challeng ...
EPFL2022Investigation of photoinduced effects in plasmonic nanocavities
Light matter interaction can be boosted by several orders of magnitude by tailoring the photonic environment, thus enabling a wide range of applications. One particular example are plasmonic nanostructures that support localized surface plasmon polariton ( ...
EPFL2021Survival of rotational alignment in H-2 scattering from Si(100)
We report a state-prepared, state-resolved study of rotational scattering of a diatomic molecule from a solid surface. Specifically, H-2 molecules with 80 meV kinetic energy are rotationally aligned in the j = 3 rotational state via stimulated Raman pumpin ...
AIP Publishing2021Structural Order of the Molecular Adlayer Impacts the Stability of Nanoparticle-on-Mirror Plasmonic Cavities
Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Sachin Suresh Verlekar, Fernando Pablo Cometto, Karla Banjac, Aqeel Ahmed
Immense field enhancement and nanoscale confinement of light are possible within nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) plasmonic resonators, which enable novel optically activated physical and chemical phenomena and render these nanocavities greatly sensitive to m ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Porous silicon-A versatile platform for mass-production of ultrasensitive SERS-active substrates
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is one of the most prospective methods combining state-of-the-art nanomaterials and optical techniques for highly sensitive express-analysis and detection of organic and bioorganic objects in liquids an ...
ELSEVIER2021Strongly Coupled Coherent Phonons in Single-Layer MoS2
We present a transient absorption setup combining broadband detection over the visible-UV range with high temporal resolution (similar to 20 fs) which is ideally suited to trigger and detect vibrational coherences in different classes of materials. We gene ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Local tuning of fused silica thermal expansion coefficient using femtosecond laser
Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter, Erica Kathleen Block
Femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica in the nonablative regime can lead to various localized bulk modifications of the material structure. In this paper, we show that these laser-induced modifications can be used to tune silica thermal expansion prop ...
