Resonant THz sensor for paper quality monitoring using THz fiber Bragg gratings

, 2013
We report fabrication of THz fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG) using CO2 laser inscription on subwavelength step-index polymer fibers. A fiber Bragg grating with 48 periods features a ~4 GHz-wide stop band and ~15 dB transmission loss in the middle of a stop ...

Versatile Control of Spectral Emissivity in Mid‐Infrared Metasurfaces via Silicon Microstructuring

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A family of metasurfaces is obtained very simply, solely through the structuration of a single‐crystal silicon surface, without any other material involved. Based on the infrared plasmonic behavior of highly doped silicon, further control of surface topography by micro‐ and nano‐structuration is found to enable an avenue of options toward tailoring its

Terahertz Volume Plasmon‐Polariton Modulation in All‐Dielectric Hyperbolic Metamaterials

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
THz volume plasmon‐polariton (VPP) propagation through plasmon‐based hyperbolic metamaterials, made of alternating layers of doped and undoped III‐V semiconductors. Abstract The development of plasmonics and related applications in the terahertz range faces limitations due to the intrinsic high electron density of the standard metals.

Cladding mode coupling in highly localized fiber Bragg gratings: modal properties and transmission spectra

, 2010
The spectral characteristics of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a transversely inhomogeneous refractive index profile, differs con- siderably from that of a transversely uniform one.

Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Edge Emitting Lasers Integrated on Silicon

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, the first monolithic integration of Pb‐chalcogenide CQDs in an edge‐emitting DFB laser cavity onto a Si/SiO2 substrate has been demonstrated. The optimizations of SiO2 layer thickness, engineering of the grating duty cycle, and implementing λ/4 phase shift resulted in the achievement of spectrally pure, single‐mode lasing at 1650 nm with ...

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 ...
