Long period gratings in photonic crystal fibers [PDF]

Photonic Sensors, 2011
The authors review the recent advances in fabricating long-period gratings (LPGs) in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The novel light-guiding properties of the PCFs allow the demonstration of novel sensors and devices based on such LPGs. The sensitivity of these PCF LPGs to temperature, strain and refractive index is discussed and compared with LPGs ...

Polarization‐Sensitive Au‐TiO2 Nanopillars for Tailored Plasmonic Enhanced Light‐Driven Reaction Activity

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Manipulating the product generation yield is achieved on a model plasmonic resonance‐driven reaction by tuning the nonthermal effects of localized surface plasmonic resonance on an elliptical Au‐TiO2 nanopillar metasurface. Asymmetric configuration of the elliptical nanopillar array governs the polarization‐dependent optical properties redshifting the ...

Acousto-optic superlattice modulator using Fibre Bragg grating

, 1997
A modulator is reported in which an extensional acoustic wave is launched along a fiber Bragg grating. The acousto-optic superlattice effect causes an enhancement in reflectivity within a narrow spectral region on both sides of the Bragg wavelength.

Mechanically-induced π-shifted long-period fiber gratings

Optics Express, 2011
A band-pass filter based on mechanically-induced multi-π-shifted long-period fiber gratings is proposed. The pass band width of the filter depends on the number N of the sub-gratings divided by π-shifts in the long-period fiber grating. The depth of the two lateral rejection bands can be changed by the amount of pressure applied to the fiber.

Stochastic Nanoscale Biophysical Cues as a Basis for the Induction of Glioblastoma‐Like Transcriptional Programs in Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stochastic nanoscale physical cues induce glioblastoma (GBM)‐associated transcriptional traits in naïve astrocytes leading to spontaneous formation of spheroids. Cells within spheroids express activated‐MMP2 and a differential gene expression pattern involving P53 and NOTCH3, providing evidence for a role for changes in brain topography, as observed in
