Discrimination of temperature and strain by combined refractive index and birefringence measurements using coherent Rayleigh sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

Temperature and strain discrimination is experimentally demonstrated in an elliptical-core polarization-maintaining fiber by making use of Rayleigh-based distributed birefringence measurements and the frequency shift of the correlation peak obtained by sta ...

3D-printed Ka-band Antenna Based on Stereolithography

Juan Ramon Mosig, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper presents a circularly-polarized dual-band antenna for Ka-band satellite communications which operates simultaneously in both civil and military downlink (17.7-21.2 GHz) and uplink (27.5-31 GHz) bands. The antenna is composed of a metallic ridged ...

Multiwavelength observations of a VHE gamma-ray flare from PKS 1510-089 in 2015

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. PKS 1510 089 is one of only a few flat spectrum radio quasars detected in the very-high-energy (VHE, > 100 GeV) gamma-ray band. Aims. We study the broadband spectral and temporal properties of the PKS 1510 089 emission during a high gamma-ray stat ...

Near optimal graphene terahertz non-reciprocal isolator

Juan Ramon Mosig, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone, Clara-Fausta Moldovan

Isolators, or optical diodes, are devices enabling unidirectional light propagation by using non-reciprocal optical materials, namely materials able to break Lorentz reciprocity. The realization of isolators at terahertz frequencies is a very important ope ...

Internal optical forces in plasmonic nanostructures

Olivier Martin

We present a computational study of the internal optical forces arising in plasmonic gap antennas, dolmen structures and split rings. We find that very strong internal forces perpendicular to the propagation direction appear in these systems. These interna ...

Anomalously thick domain walls in ferroelectrics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Tomas Sluka, Petr Yudin, Maxim Gureev

Using the Landau theory we demonstrate the possibility of unusual, anomalously thick ferroelectric domain walls, where the order parameter rotates with a nearly constant modulus as in ferromagnets. The effect occurs in 90 degrees charged domain walls and i ...

Optical Injection and Lasing Dynamics in Long-Wavelength VCSELs With Intracavity Patterning

Elyahou Kapon, Benjamin Dwir, Alexandru Mereuta, Alexei Sirbu, Vladimir Iakovlev, Andrei Caliman, Zlatko Mickovic, Dalila Ellafi, Christopher Michael Long

We present the static and optical injection response of wafer-fused long-wavelength VCSELs with and without intracavity patterning. It is found that the extra optical cavity patterning increases the gain anisotropy between orthogonal polarization modes, in ...

Characterization, Modeling, and Statistical Analysis of the Electromagnetic Response of Inert Improvised Explosive Devices

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

The experimental characterization of the electromagnetic (EM) response of a set of inert improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is presented in this paper. The characterization is based on measurements of gain and input impedance of the firing circuits of ine ...

Fundamental limits and near-optimal design of graphene modulators and non-reciprocal devices

Juan Ramon Mosig, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

The potential of graphene for photonic applications was evidenced by recent demonstrations of modulators, polarization rotators and isolators. These promising yet preliminary results raise crucial questions: what is the optimal performance achievable by mo ...
