Nanocrystalline Low-Refractive Magnesium Fluoride Films Deposited by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering: Optical and Structural Properties

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Paul Muralt, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Stefan Mertin

In this work, we study MgF2 thin-film synthesis by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a metallic magnesium target in a gas mixture of argon, oxygen, and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). Nanocrystalline films on silicon and glass substrates with excell ...

Distributed phase birefringence measurements based on polarization correlation in phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

In this paper a technique to measure the distributed birefringence profile along optical fibers is proposed and experimentally validated. The method is based on the spectral correlation between two sets of orthogonally-polarized measurements acquired using ...

Multiscattering-enhanced optical probes for biosensing

Volodymyr Koman

Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an inescapable part of every living organism, we are only beginning to understand their functions and mechanics. As of now, we know that ROS are involved in cell signalling, stress-response and defence against pat ...

Temperature-dependent multiangle FTIR NIR-MIR ellipsometry of thermochromic VO2 and V1-xWxO2 films

Rosendo Sanjines, Andreas Schueler, Antonio Paone

VO2 and W-doped VO2 thin films were prepared by Radio Frequency (RF) reactive magnetron sputtering using V-metal target. The amount of W doping was quantified by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS). The optical constants of VO2 and V1-xWxO2 films ...

Effect of the thin-film limit on the measurable optical properties of graphene

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Nicolay, Stefaan De Wolf, Jakub Holovsky

The fundamental sheet conductance of graphene can be directly related to the product of its absorption coefficient, thickness and refractive index. The same can be done for graphene's fundamental opacity if the so-called thin-film limit is considered. Here ...

Nonlinear Plasmonic Nanorulers

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The evaluation of distances as small as few nanometers using optical waves Is a very challenging task that can pave the way for the development of new applications in biotechnology and nanotechnology. In this article, we propose a new measurement method ba ...

Light confinement effect of non-spherical nanoscale solid immersion lenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Gaël David Osowiecki, David Nguyen

We report on the light confinement effect observed in non-ideally shaped (i.e., non-spherical) nanoscale solid immersion lenses (SILs). To investigate this effect, nanostructures of various shapes are fabricated by electron-beam lithography. When completel ...

Full field vertical scanning in short coherence digital holographic microscope

Christian Depeursinge, Christophe Moser, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort

In Digital holography Microscopes (DHM) implemented in the so-called "off axis" configuration, the object and reference wave fronts are not co-planar but form an angle of a few degrees. This results into two main drawbacks. First, the contrast of the inter ...

Quantitative phase noise in a two-color low coherence Digital Holographic Microscope

Christian Depeursinge, Christophe Moser, Zahra Monemhaghdoust, Frédéric Montfort

In digital holographic microscopy (DHM), the long coherence length of laser light causes parasitic interferences due to multiple reflections in and by optical components in the optical path of the microscope and thus degrades the image quality. The parasit ...

Probing nanoscopic droplet interfaces in aqueous solution with vibrational sum-frequency scattering: A study of the effects of path length, droplet density and pulse energy

Sylvie Roke, Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar

We present a description of sum frequency scattering experiments to probe the interfacial vibrational spectrum of nanoscopic oil droplets dispersed in water. SF scattering measurements as a function of optical path length, infrared (IR) pulse energy and pa ...

Dynamic Brillouin gratings: A new tool in fibers for all-optical signal processing

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

The recent possibility to generate dynamic Bragg gratings by the interaction of 2 optical waves through stimulated Brillouin scattering in highly birefringent fibers has opened a new field to realize all-optical fiber-based functions. ...
