Evidence Of Adaptation From Ancestral Variation In Young Populations Of Beach Mice

Jeffrey David Jensen

To understand how organisms adapt to novel habitats, which involves both demographic and selective events, we require knowledge of the evolutionary history of populations and also selected alleles. There are still few cases in which the precise mutations ( ...

Optical Modulators Based on Microfabricated Tilting Flaps Operating at low Actuation Voltages

Fabio Jutzi

In this thesis the concept, modelling, design, fabrication process and characterization of novel optical modulators are presented. The devices consist of flaps exhibiting a large tilt with electrostatic actuation at low voltages. The applications comprise, ...

Optimized conditions for gas light interaction in photonic crystal fibres

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire

This paper presents helpful expressions predicting the filling time of gaseous species inside photonic crystal fibres. Based on the theory of diffusion, our gas-filling model can be applied to any given fibre geometry or length by calculating diffusion coe ...

Nanostructured surface fabricated by laser interference lithography to attenuate the reflectivity of microlens arrays

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Pierre-Yves Baroni

A subwavelength-scale square lattice optical nanostructure is fabricated using an interference photolithography process on the surface of a quartz microlens array. This nanostructuring of the quartz surface introduces an antireflective effect, reducing ref ...

Ultrafast manipulation of hard x-rays by efficient Bragg switches

Michael Herzog, Renske Marjan van der Veen

We experimentally demonstrate efficient switching of the hard x-ray Bragg reflectivity of a SrRuO3 /SrTiO3 superlattice by optical excitation of large-amplitude coherent acoustic superlattice phonons. The rocking curve changes drastically on a 1 ps timesca ...
