Matrix Fourier optics enables a compact full-Stokes polarization camera

Recent developments have enabled the practical realization of optical elements in which the polarization of light may vary spatially. We present an extension of Fourier optics-matrix Fourier optics-for understanding these devices and apply it to the design ...

Stepwise Luneburg Lens for Bloch Surface Waves

Myun Sik Kim, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

In order to enlarge the capability for in-plane manipulation of the Bloch surface wave (BSW), we investigate 2D gradient index (GRIN) optical components using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. To ease difficulties in fabrication to a ...

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 ...

Array imaging system for lithography

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner

We present an integrated array imaging system based on a stack of microlens arrays. The microlens arrays are manufactured by melting resist and reactive ion etching (RIE) technology on 8'' wafers (fused silica) and mounted by wafer-level packaging (WLP)(1) ...

On Micro Optical Elements for Efficient Light Diffusion

Roland Andreas Bitterli

Efficient light management is one of the key issues in modern energy conversion systems, be it to collect optical power or to redistribute light generated by high power light emitters. This thesis touches mainly on the subject of efficient light redistribu ...

Heat and spin transport in magnetic nanowires

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville

Transport measurements are carried out in which temperature oscillation is applied to magnetic nanostructures. Using spin valves, this measurement reveals aspects of the spin transport in non-collinear configurations. In one implementation, an AC voltage i ...

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 ...

Numerical parametric lens for shifting, magnification and complete aberration compensation in digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Nicolas Aspert, Florian Charrière, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Stéphane Bourquin, Mihaela Marian

The concept of numerical parametric lenses (NPL) is introduced to achieve wavefront reconstruction in digital holography. It is shown that operations usually performed by optical components and described in ray geometrical optics, such as image shifting, m ...

Multiple scattering in optical coherence tomography. I. Investigation and modeling

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Marcel Leutenegger, Stéphane Bourquin, Markus Laubscher

We present a new model of optical coherence tomography (OCT) taking into account multiple scattering. A theoretical analysis and experimental investigation reveals that in OCT, despite multiple scattering, the field backscattered from the sample is general ...
