Glass multifocal microlens array through laser-induced topological transformation

Martin Thibaud Lentz, Yves Bellouard, Samuel Youcef Benketaf

We investigate the use of laser-induced topological transformation for manufacturing multifocal lens arrays with arbitrary focal ranges. Cylindrical preforms manufactured by femtosecond laser and chemical etching are topologically transformed into plano-co ...

Influence of ionization and cumulative effects on laser-induced crystallization in multilayer dielectrics

Yves Bellouard, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau, Ruben Ricca

Crystallization of amorphous layers has been demonstrated under various radically different laser-exposure conditions, including continuous wave (cw) and pulsed lasers. Here, we investigate the specific role of ionization in the crystallization of dielectr ...

III-N blue-emitting epi-structures with high densities of dislocations: Fundamental mechanisms for efficiency improvement and applications

Pierre Christophe Lottigier

Since the dawn of humanity, human beings seeked to light their surroundings for their well-being, security and development. The efficiency of ancient lighting devices, e.g. oil lamps or candles, was in the order of 0.03-0.04% and jumped to 0.4-0.6% with th ...

Optically reconfigurable quasi-phase-matching in silicon nitride microresonators

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Edgars Nitiss, Anton Stroganov

Quasi-phase-matching has long been a widely used approach in nonlinear photonics, enabling efficient parametric frequency conversions such as second-harmonic generation. However, in silicon photonics the task remains challenging, as materials best suited f ...

Highly tunable second-harmonic generation in all-optically poled silicon nitride waveguides

Camille Sophie Brès, Edgars Nitiss, Ozan Yakar, Anton Stroganov

The availability of nonlinear parametric processes, such as frequency conversion in photonic integrated circuits is essential. In this contribution, we demonstrate a highly tunable second-harmonic generation in a fully complementary metal–oxide–semiconduct ...

Arbitrarily high time bandwidth performance in a nonreciprocal optical resonator with broken time invariance

Camille Sophie Brès, Hatice Altug, Davide Grassani, Simon Julien Fabbri, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ivan Cardea

Most present-day resonant systems, throughout physics and engineering, are characterized by a strict time-reversal symmetry between the rates of energy coupled in and out of the system, which leads to a trade-off between how long a wave can be stored in th ...

Charge-carrier Dynamics in Metal Oxides and Hybrid Lead Perovskites investigated by Time-Resolved UV and X-ray Spectroscopy

Thomas Charles Henry Rossi

In modern ultrafast optoelectronic technologies based on wide band gap insulators, the non-equilibrium dynamics of photogenerated charges plays a major role. Unravelling the mechanisms of interaction between these charge carriers and their environment is c ...

Non-contact sub-nanometer optical repositioning using femtosecond lasers

Yves Bellouard

Optical components like resonator or waveguides often have stringent requirements in term of positioning accuracy during packaging. While this can be done routinely in a laboratory environment, permanently positioning and aligning optical elements with nan ...
