On design strategies for binary dielectric metasurfaces based on the Fourier modal method

Kévin Müller

Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...

Diffractive optical elements in single crystal diamond

Niels Quack, Marcell Kristof Kiss

We demonstrate the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of near-field binary phase transmission diffractive optical elements (DOEs) in single crystal diamond. Top-hat and arbitrary pattern DOE beam shapers were numerically optimized using ...

Diffractive Optical Elements Investigation in the Phase Domain

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we demonstrate the advantages of investigating diffractive optical elements in the phase domain. In this regime we can detect features that are not restrained by the diffraction limit and relate them to the geometrical and optical properties o ...

Simulation of microoptics under inhomogeneous illumination: Sinusoidal Phase Grating under Gaussian Beam Illumination

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

Far field pattern generation is investigated for thick sinusoidal phase grating under a Gaussian beam illumination to obtain a high field of view. We compare the Fraunhofer approximation with the High-NA propagator and demonstrate that the Fraunhofer appro ...

Design and Analysis of Binary Fan-out Gratings based on Step-Transition Perturbation Approach

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Nowadays, diffractive optical elements are used for a variety of applications because of their high design flexibility, compact size, and mass productivity. At the same time, they require having high and complex optical functionalities such as a large numb ...

Monitoring Spontaneous Charge-Density Fluctuations by Single-Molecule Diffraction of Quantum Light

Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Homodyne X-ray diffraction signals produced by classical light and classical detectors are given by the modulus square of the charge density in momentum space vertical bar sigma(q)vertical bar(2), missing its phase, which is required in order to invert the ...

Transmission Microsphere-Assisted Dark-Field Microscopy

Giorgio Quaranta, Stéphane Perrin, Hongyu Li

Microsphere-assisted microscopy allows the limit of the diffraction of light to overcome while being non-invasive, full-field, label-free, and easy-to-implement. However, the observation of translucent samples remains difficult using a classical bright-fie ...

Adjoint-based Optimization for Diffractive Beam-Splitters

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Computational optimization of diffractive elements is often limited by a large number of design parameters. Adjoint method allows the gradient of target function respect to all design variables to be calculated with only two electromagnetic simulations. We ...

Deformation and degradation of superelastic NiTi under multiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Wei-Neng Hsu, Nicola Casati, Efthymios Polatidis

The degradation of the superelastic properties of a commercial NiTi alloy is studied during uniaxial, biaxial and load-path-change cycling performed in-situ with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Careful examination of the diffraction pattern during uniaxial ...

Resonant Waveguide Gratings for Color-Selective Diffraction

Giorgio Quaranta

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...

Quantification of amorphous siliceous fly ash in hydrated blended cement pastes by X-ray powder diffraction

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Xuerun Li

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)-based quantitative phase analysis is a common technique for studying the hydration of cementitious systems. Hydrated cements often comprise several amorphous or nanocrystalline phases. This paper presents a protocol for the ...
