Symmetry breakdown of electron emission in extreme ultraviolet photoionization of argon

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Eugenio Ferrari, David Ferdinand Scholz

Short wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs), providing pulses of ultrahigh photon intensity, have revolutionized spectroscopy on ionic targets. Their exceptional photon flux enables multiple photon absorptions within a single femtosecond pulse, which in t ...

Manipulating Bloch surface waves in 2D: a platform concept-based flat lens

Hans Peter Herzig, Tristan Sfez, Libo Yu, Elsie Barakat, Lubos Hvozdara, Joab Di Francesco

At the end of the 1970s, it was confirmed that dielectric multilayers can sustain Bloch surface waves (BSWs). However, BSWs were not widely studied until more recently. Taking advantage of their high-quality factor, sensing applications have focused on BSW ...

Small-size microlens characterization by multiwavelength high-resolution interference microscopy

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

Microlenses are widely studied in two main areas: fabrication and characterization. Nowadays, characterization draws more attention because it is difficult to apply test techniques to microlenses that are used for conventional optical systems. Especially, ...

Exploring light propagating in photonic crystals with Fourier optics

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas

Photonic crystals (PhCs) act on light in two different ways: confinement and modification of propagation. Both phenomena rely on the complex interplay between multiply scattered waves that can form what is known as a Bloch mode. Here, we present a techniqu ...

Zero-gain slow and fast light propagation in an optical fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

Slow and fast light with null amplification or loss of a light signal is experimentally demonstrated. This novel method for producing zero-gain slow and fast light takes advantage of the great flexibility of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber ...

Purely numerical compensation for microscope objective phase curvature in digital holographic microscopy: influence of digital phase mask position

Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Florian Charrière, Frédéric Montfort

Introducing a microscope objective in an interferometric setup induces a phase curvature on the resulting wavefront. In digital holography, the compensation of this curvature is often done by introducing an identical curvature in the reference arm and the ...
