Stepwise Luneburg Lens for Bloch Surface Waves

Myun Sik Kim, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

In order to enlarge the capability for in-plane manipulation of the Bloch surface wave (BSW), we investigate 2D gradient index (GRIN) optical components using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. To ease difficulties in fabrication to a ...

Bloch Surface Waves Using Graphene Layers: An Approach toward In-Plane Photodetectors

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Richa Dubey

A dielectric multilayer platform was investigated as a foundation for two-dimensional optics. In this paper, we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of absorption of Bloch surface waves in the presence of graphene lay ...

Effects of regional and local atmospheric dynamics on the aerosol and CCN load over Athens

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol and cloud condensate nuclei (CCN) measurements in the area of Athens during HyGRA-CD campaign (May–June 2014) identified a significant diversity in particle properties. In this study we select two distinct cases in terms of meteorology and air mass ...

Approximate Cloaking via Transformation Optics for Electromagnetic Waves

Xuan Loc Tran

Cloaking via transformation optics was introduced by Pendry, Schurig, and Smith for the Maxwell system and Leonhardt in the geometric optics setting. They used a singular change of variables which blows up a point into a cloaked region. The same transforma ...

Wavefront shaping for ultrashort pulse delivery through optical fibers for imaging and ablation

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Nicolino Stasio, Donald Benjaman Conkey

We demonstrate high power ultrashort pulse delivery through a commercially available multicore fiber (MCF) and a multimode graded-index fiber (GRINF) for imaging and laser ablation. Lensless focusing and digital scanning of ultrashort pulses through the op ...

Radiative characterization of random fibrous media with optically large long cylindrical fibers

Sophia Haussener

Radiative heat transfer is analyzed in participating media consisting of long cylindrical fibers with a diameter in the limit of geometrical optics. The absorption and scattering coefficients and the scattering phase function of the medium are determined b ...

Tomography-based radiative characterisation of decomposing carbonaceous heat shield materials

Sophia Haussener, Pénélope Leyland, Nikhil Banerji

This work evaluates the changes in radiative properties of two decomposing carbonaceous porous materials, each composed of two semitransparent, homogeneous and isotropic phases. The understanding of the complex dependence of macroscopic optical behaviour o ...

Near-field characterization of Bloch surface waves based 2D optical components

Richa Dubey

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...
