Collimation simulations for the FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Giovanni Iadarola, Milica Rakic, Bruce Roderik, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Félix Simon Carlier

The collimation system of the Future Circular Collider, operating with leptons (FCC-ee), must protect not only the experiments against backgrounds, but also the machine itself from beam losses. With a 17.8 MJ stored energy of the electron and positron beam ...

Temperature sensitivity enhancement in a standard optical fiber with double coatings at low temperature

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

The thermomechanical behavior of a standard optical fiber with double coating is theoretically analyzed at room temperature and ~ 220 K. As the primary coating becomes stiffer at low temperature, the impact of the thermal expansion of the coatings is no lo ...

Binary zero-order diffractive and anti-reflective optical elements in silicon for the mid-infrared

Hans Peter Herzig, Grégoire Maxime Smolik

We propose a novel method for the design of binary 2-level diffractive optical elements that provide an efficient diffractive function while reducing the reflectivity of a high-index interface. The structure can be fabricated with a single patterning step ...
