Strong second-harmonic generation from Au-Al heterodimers

Olivier Martin, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Jérémy Butet

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated from three kinds of lithographically fabricated plasmonic systems: Al monomers, Au monomers and Au-Al heterodimers with nanogaps of 20 nm. Spectrally integrated SHG intensities and the linear optical respons ...

Hydraulic performance evaluation of a micro-turbine with counter rotating runners by experimental investigation and numerical simulation

François Avellan, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Elena Vagnoni, Loïc Andolfatto

The development of energy recovery systems on existing water utility networks is a new challenge for increasing the sustainability of electricity generation mix. The concept of the new micro-turbine with counter rotating runners braces this goal by allowin ...

Electromagnetic Waves in a Time Periodic Medium With Step-Varying Refractive Index

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Theodoros Koutserimpas

We present an exact mathematical framework for electromagnetic wave propagation in periodically time-modulated media, in which the permittivity is homogenous and modulated in a step-varying fashion. By using Hill’s equation theory, we show that this proble ...

Light Confinement and Nonlinear Light-Matter Interaction in Semiconductor Photonic Crystal Cavities

Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Aliem Mohamed

The ability to control and manipulate light is a fundamental aspect that is at the very core of the development of integrated photonic circuits. It is desirable to achieve such control down to a scale that is comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of ...

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 ...

Large second harmonic generation enhancement in Si3N4 waveguides by all-optically induced quasiphase- matching

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

Efficient second harmonic generation in integrated platforms is usually achieved by resonant structures, intermodal phase-matching or quasi-phase matching by periodically poling ferroelectric waveguides. However, in all these structures, it is impossible t ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental determination of the bulk Rashba parameters in BiTeBr

Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Arnaud Magrez

Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, Hall effect, and optical reflectance (R(omega)) measurements have been performed on single crystals of BiTeBr. Under magnetic fields up to 32 tesla and at temperatures as low as 0.4K, the SdH data shows a single oscill ...
