Optical metasurfaces: synthesis, nanofabrication, and colorful applications

Hsiang-Chu Wang

In this thesis, we mainly utilize silver to construct the meta-atoms. Although suffering from easily oxidized, its excellent lossless property throughout the visible range makes it suitable for study. When preserved properly, silver-made metasurfaces can s ...

Image-Based Acquisition and Modeling of Polarimetric Reflectance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Xin Tong

Realistic modeling of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of scene objects is a vital prerequisite for any type of physically based rendering. In the last decades, the availability of databases containing real-world material measurem ...

Distributed forward stimulated Brillouin scattering measurement using broadband BOTDR

Luc Thévenaz, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Zhisheng Yang, Sheng Wang

Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry is used to perform distributed forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) measurements. This configuration suppresses the need for an additional frequency scanning to evaluate the local Brillouin peak gain wh ...

Embedded Polarizing Filters to Separate Diffuse and Specular Reflection

Laurent Valentin Jospin, Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler

Polarizing filters provide a powerful way to separate diffuse and specular reflection; however, traditional methods rely on several captures and require proper alignment of the filters. Recently, camera manufacturers have proposed to embed polarizing micro ...

Depth of field extension through polarization aberrations

Alessandro Grosso

This paper focuses on depth of field (DOF) extension through polarization aberrations. The addition of polarizing elements into an optical system allows to exploit the polarization of the incoming light as an additional degree of freedom in the optical sys ...

Distributed hydrostatic pressure measurement using phase OTDR in a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Li Zhang

Although distributed fiber-optic sensing of axial strain and temperature is a well-established technique, there are almost no demonstrations of distributed hydrostatic pressure sensing. The main obstacle for such measurements is the low sensitivity to pres ...

Tokamak plasma edge studies by microwave short-pulse reflectometry and backscattering

Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera

Moving towards an increased understanding of the dynamic processes in the edge of tokamak plasmas requires continuous innovation in diagnostic capabilities, pushing the envelope in both spatial and temporal dimenstions. Plasma density and rotation, and the ...

Linearly polarized GHz magnetization dynamics of spin helix modes in the ferrimagnetic insulator Cu_2OSeO_3

Dirk Grundler, Helmuth Berger

Linear dichroism — the polarization dependent absorption of electromagnetic waves— is routinely exploited in applications as diverse as structure determination of DNA or polarization filters in optical technologies. Here filamentary absorbers with a large ...

Femtosecond laser direct-write waveplates based on stress-induced birefringence

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

The use of femtosecond lasers to introduce controlled stress states has recently been demonstrated in silica glass. We use this technique, in combination with chemical etching, to generate and control stress-induced birefringence over a well-defined region ...

Reactively Sputtered Nano-Structured Multilayer Coatings on Architectural Glazing for Active Solar Energy Façades

Stefan Mertin

Improving the aesthetic of solar thermal collectors would grant architects a huge potential for a perfect integration of solar panels into building façades: this can be achieved by coloured interference coatings on the cover glass. These coatings also open ...

Mid-infrared plasmonic biosensing with graphene

Hatice Altug, Dordaneh Etezadi, Daniel Rodrigo Lopez, Odeta Limaj

Infrared spectroscopy is the technique of choice for chemical identification of biomolecules through their vibrational fingerprints. However, infrared light interacts poorly with nanometric-size molecules. We exploit the unique electro-optical properties o ...

Optofluidic-tunable color filters and spectroscopy based on liquid-crystal microflows

Demetri Psaltis, Andreas Vasdekis, Julien Cuennet

The integration of color filters with microfluidics has attracted substantial attention in recent years, for on-chip absorption, fluorescence, or Raman analysis. We describe such tunable filters based on the micro-flow of liquid crystals. The filter operat ...
