Enabling Wide Bandwidth in Substrate-Integrated Waveguide Slot Antennas by Using Low-Index Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Amir Jafargholi, Jalaledin Tayebpour

This paper presents a solution to overcome the inherently limited bandwidth of substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antennas. It is analytically shown that by decreasing the permittivity of a dielectric loaded slot antenna, the resulting bandwidth inc ...

All-Dielectric Nanophotonic via Glass Fluid Instabilities

Pierre-Luc Eloi Piveteau

In this thesis work, we propose to exploit an innovative micro/nano-fabrication process, based on controlled fluid instabilities of a thin viscous film of chalcogenide glass. Amorphous selenium and arsenic triselenide were used in this thesis work, and com ...

Study of growth-induced point defects and their impact on InGaN-based optoelectronic devices

Yao Chen

GaN exhibits a decomposition tendency for temperatures far below its melting point and common growth temperatures used in metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE).This characteristic is known to be a major obstacle for realising GaN bulk substrate. There ...

Ultrabroadband sound control with deep-subwavelength plasmacoustic metalayers

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev

Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are typically ineffic ...

Metamaterial graphene photodetector with bandwidth exceeding 500 gigahertz

Yesim Koyaz, Michael Baumann

Although graphene has met many of its initially predicted optoelectronic, thermal, and mechanical properties, photodetectors with large spectral bandwidths and extremely high frequency responses remain outstanding. In this work, we demonstrate a >500 gigah ...

Dendrimer-Based Coatings on a Photonic Crystal Surface for Ultra-Sensitive Small Molecule Detection

Serguei Sekatski

We propose and demonstrate dendrimer-based coatings for a sensitive biochip surface that enhance the high-performance sorption of small molecules (i.e., biomolecules with low molecular weights) and the sensitivity of a label-free, real-time photonic crysta ...

A universal route to efficient non-linear response via Thomson scattering in linear solids

Gabriel Aeppli, Joe Martin Bailey, Ji Zhou, Cheng Wang, Junjie Li, Min Chen

Non-linear materials are cornerstones of modern optics and electronics. Strong dependence on the intrinsic properties of particular materials, however, inhibits the at-will extension of demanding non-linear effects, especially those second-order ones, to w ...

Dielectric metasurfaces and their applications for optical biosensing

Yasaman Jahani

Over the past century, our understanding of life has been focused on its most fundamental building blocks: molecules. Biological molecules, such as proteins found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues, are excellent guides to identifying a normal or abno ...

Polariton lasing in AlGaN microring with GaN/AlGaN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté

Microcavity polaritons are strongly interacting hybrid light-matter quasiparticles, which are promising for the development of novel light sources and active photonic devices. Here, we report polariton lasing in the UV spectral range in microring resonator ...
