High-resolution tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing

Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Paul Delrot

Tomographic additive manufacturing produces complex parts with a wide range of printable materials but remains limited in terms of resolution. Here, the authors tune the etendue of the light source and accurately control the photopolymerization kinetics us ...

Specification of aspherical surfaces used as refractive elements in micro-optical systems

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

The optical performance of refractive plano-convex microlenses is mainly related to the quality of their (a)spherical surface. An efficient tolerancing of this surface is a key step towards the manufacturing of high quality microlenses. However, we demonst ...

High-Q surface modes in photonic crystal/iron garnet film heterostructures for sensor applications

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski

A novel type of a plasmonic sensor based on a magnetophotonic plasmonic heterostructure with an ultrahigh-Q resonance is considered. A magnetoplasmonic resonance with an angular width of 0.06A degrees, which corresponds to a Q factor of 700 and is a record ...

Design of a light confining concentrator for a solar photochemical reactor and upper bound to the method

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

Optical concentration obtained by light confinement bears unique features that can increase the efficiency of a photochemical reactor. A suitable implementation of this method for a solar reactor is a series of parallel tubular receivers sealed in a slab-s ...

Integrated angular tracking and plasmonic membrane surfaces for a point of a care refractive index sensor

Hatice Altug

We present an optical system which integrates a plasmonic sensing surface and an angular tracking system to enable a compact refractive index measurement. A refractive index change at the surface of the sensing membrane causes a change in the angle at whic ...

Origin and nature of measurement bias in catadioptric parallel goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We briefly categorize and compare parallel goniophotometers, which are instruments capable of simultaneously measuring the far-field distribution of light scattered by a surface or emitted by a source over a large solid angle. Little is known about the acc ...

Stationary solar concentrator delivering beyond the étendue law with homogeneous illumination

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We describe a concept for a novel stationary solar concentrator that relies on a new self-adaptive optical valve, non-imaging optics and the integrating sphere principle. Our analytical model reveals that this unique combination theoretically allows reachi ...

Revisiting parallel catadioptric goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

A thorough knowledge of the angular distribution of light scattered by an illuminated surface under different angles is essential in numerous industrial and research applications. Traditionally, the angular distribution of a reflected or transmitted light ...

On Micro Optical Elements for Efficient Light Diffusion

Roland Andreas Bitterli

Efficient light management is one of the key issues in modern energy conversion systems, be it to collect optical power or to redistribute light generated by high power light emitters. This thesis touches mainly on the subject of efficient light redistribu ...

In-plane illuminated metallic annular aperture array for sensing application

Hans Peter Herzig, Armando Cosentino, Qing Tan

We propose here an application to sensing of annular aperture arrays (AAA). We theoretically investigate the optical properties of the reflective AAA device when illuminated in-plane. The cavity presents almost perfect absorption due to the waveguide mode ...

Refractive index sensor based on slot waveguide cavity

Hans Peter Herzig, Armando Cosentino, Qing Tan

The experimental study of a gold slot waveguide cavity is presented. The resonance of this cavity working in the telecom wavelength range is highly dependent on the refractive index of the medium located in or around the slots array, because of the high co ...
