This work reports on the implementation of a fiber-array with attached microlenses in the balanced-detection Interferometric Cavity-Assisted Photothermal Spectroscopy (ICAPS) scheme, enabling a highly compact probe laser beam path. The sample probe and the ...
SU-8 is an emerging polymer material for integrated optical circuits that has demonstrated good structural properties in a cryogenic environment. In this article, we investigate the thermo-optical properties of SU-8 for a wavelength lambda = 850 nm, from r ...
This paper presents the design and the fundamental operating principles of all-dielectric metasurfaces devoted to multiple gas/liquid sensing applications in the mid-infrared range. These metasurfaces are composed of silicon meta-atoms fabricated on either ...
Laser-based mid-infrared (mid-IR) photothermal spectroscopy (PTS) represents a selective, fast, and sensitive analytical technique. Recent developments in laser design permits the coverage of wider spectral regions in combination with higher power, enablin ...
In this work, we provide important parameters to take into account when fabricating in-plane III-V photodetectors (PDs) integrated on silicon (Si) using template-assisted selective epitaxy (TASE). Their performance has previously been demonstrated, and her ...
Microneedles (MNs) are sharp, pillar-like structures shorter than 1 mm. They can painlessly pierce the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the skin, and interface with the underlying dermal interstitial fluid, rich in biomarkers. Due to these prop ...
The design and operational principles governing all-dielectric metasurfaces, operating in the 4 similar to 8 mu m mid-infrared band and customizable for gas and liquid sensing, are presented. A comparative analysis of silicon meta-atoms on CaF2 or Si3N4 su ...
We present the first demonstration of a fully integrated hybrid external cavity laser (HECL) in edge-coupling configuration by means of micro-transfer printing. The HECL is able to achieve single-mode regime over a wide range of driving currents with SMSR ...
Silicon-based Micro Ring Resonators (MRR) are a powerful tool for the realization of label free optical biosensors. The sharp edge of a Fano resonance in a Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) platform can boost photonic sensing applications based on MRRs. In this work ...
We demonstrate the on-chip integration of silicon nitride refractive index transducers with microfluidics for refractive index-based detection in liquid chromatography, highlighting the system's potential for creating compact, highly sensitive, and selecti ...
