Phase resolved characterization of nanoscale features in optical microstructures

Michail Symeonidis

In this study, we apply interferometric microscopy to study the phase, alongside the intensity, of the light field transmitted through a wide variety of samples. Additionally, we conduct those interferometric measurements at different wavelengths within th ...

Geometric calibration of Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System of ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter

François Fleuret, Anton Ivanov, Thomas Weigel, Stepan Tulyakov, Nicolas Thomas

There are many geometric calibration methods for "standard" cameras. These methods, however, cannot be used for the calibration of telescopes with large focal lengths and complex off-axis optics. Moreover, specialized calibration methods for the telescopes ...

Assessing microlens quality based on 3D irradiance measurement at the focal spot area

Wilfried Noell, Toralf Scharf, Jeremy Béguelin, Michail Symeonidis

During the fabrication process of microlenses, characterization is essential for two purposes: evaluate the optical quality of the element and provide surface information feedback for process optimization. However, no technique can fulfill these two object ...

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 ...

All-optically induced quasi phase matching in SiN waveguides for second harmonic generation enhancement

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Camille Sophie Brès, Adrien Billat, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani

We report more than 30dB second harmonic generation enhancement in SiN waveguide by all-optical writing of a persistent χ(2) grating. Phase matching peaks are observed for different writing wavelengths. ...

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 ...

Deep Cfht Y-Band Imaging Of Vvds-F22 Field. I. Data Products And Photometric Redshifts

Huanyuan Shan

We present our deep Y-band imaging data of a two square degree field within the F22 region of the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. The observations were conducted using the WIRCam instrument mounted at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The total on-sky time ...

On the Limits of Precision Glass Molding for Diffractive Optical Elements

Karin Prater

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...

Large Field of View Multi-Camera Endoscopic Apparatus with Omni-Directional Illumination

Yusuf Leblebici, Ömer Cogal

A multi-camera hemispherical very wide field of view imaging apparatus with omnidirectional illumination capability comprises a cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), a hemispherical mechanical frame (2) arranged on one end of the cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), ...

All-optical flip-flop based on dynamic Brillouin gratings

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

One of the most essential building blocks in modem electronics is the flip-flop. A flip-flop operates bi-stably between two states, remaining at a given output level (high or low level) until a specific input control signal changes. For many years, photoni ...

Tomography-based radiative characterisation of decomposing carbonaceous heat shield materials

Pénélope Leyland, Sophia Haussener, 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 ...
