Fiber-interface directional coupler inscribed by femtosecond laser for refractive index measurements

Jiangtao Zhou, Zhechen Zhang, Yiping Wang, Jiachen Wang

A novel fiber-interface directional waveguide coupler was inscribed on the surface of a coreless fiber by femtosecond laser, and was successfully applied to highly sensitive refractive index (RI) measurements. The primary arm was first inscribed to couple ...

Recent Advances in Resonant Waveguide Gratings

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Giorgio Quaranta, Guillaume Basset

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 from UV to microwave freq ...

Discrimination of temperature and strain by combined refractive index and birefringence measurements using coherent Rayleigh sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

Temperature and strain discrimination is experimentally demonstrated in an elliptical-core polarization-maintaining fiber by making use of Rayleigh-based distributed birefringence measurements and the frequency shift of the correlation peak obtained by sta ...

Light Scattering Enhancement at the Absorption Edge in Dewetting Droplets of Cyanine Dyes

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

Diffraction properties of thin films of dewetted cyanine dye droplets are investigated and related to the complex refractive index. Strong changes in the index of refraction are often found near the absorption edge of organic dyes. Within a small window of ...

Volume refractometry of liquids using stable optofluidic Fabry-Perot resonator with curved surfaces

Maurine Malak Karam Awadallah

This work reports a simple, miniaturized optical sensing module for liquid refractometry. It is based on a stable Fabry-Perot resonator consisting of two silicon cylindrical mirrors with a cylindrical lens in the core. The lens is formed by a capillary tub ...

New diagnostics for density measurement on Frascati Tokamak upgrade

Fabio Avino, Anton Petrov

In FTU, density profile is measured with two new diagnostics: a CO2/CO scanning interferometer and a time-of-flight radar (denominated refractometer). The first, using two scanning beams, can provide a plasma density profile every 62.5 mu s. Two lasers (CO ...

Refractive index sensor based on slot waveguide cavity

Hans Peter Herzig, Qing Tan, Armando Cosentino

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 ...

Photosensitivity and stress changes of Ge-free Bi-Al doped silica optical fibers under ArF excimer laser irradiation

Hans Georg Limberger, Christian Ban

The photosensitivity of germanium free Bi-Al-doped silica fibers with different bismuth concentrations was investigated using ArF excimer laser radiation at 193 nm and fiber grating formation. For the fiber with the highest bismuth concentration maximum re ...

Complex-coupled photonic crystal THz lasers with independent loss and refractive index modulation

Romuald Houdré, Hua Zhang, Jérôme Faist

Compared to near infra-red photonic crystal (PhC) band-edge lasers, achieving vertical emission with quantum cascade (QC) material operating in the THz range needs dedicated engineering because the TM polarized emission of QCLs favors in-plane emitting sch ...

Mid-infrared surface plasmon resonance sensing applied to refractive index measurements of liquids

Sylvain Herminjard

There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...

Simultaneous cell morphometry and refractive index measurement with dual- wavelength digital holographic microscopy and dye-enhanced dispersion of perfusion medium

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Magistretti, Benjamin Rappaz, Florian Charrière, Pierre Marquet

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) allows optical-path-difference (OPD) measurements with nanometric accuracy. OPD induced by transparent cells depends on both the refractive index (RI) of cells and their morphology. This Letter presents a dual-wavelengt ...

Ultra-thick micro-optical components using the PRISM photosensitive flexopolymer

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...
