Compact Optical Waveguides Based on Hybrid Index and Surface-Plasmon-Polariton Guidance Mechanisms

open access: yesActive and Passive Electronic Components, 2007
Surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguides made of materials available in nature have, in general, been found to suffer from very high absorption loss when light confinement is beyond diffraction limit.

$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking in a necklace of coupled optical waveguides

open access: yes, 2013
We consider parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric arrays formed by $N$ optical waveguides with gain and $N$ waveguides with loss. When the gain-loss coefficient exceeds a critical value $\gamma_c$, the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry becomes spontaneously ...

In Vivo Skin 3‐D Surface Reconstruction and Wrinkle Depth Estimation Using Handheld High Resolution Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A compact handheld GelSight probe reconstructs in vivo 3‐D skin topography with micron‐level precision using a custom elastic gel and a learning‐based surface normal to height map pipeline. The device quantifies wrinkle depth across various body locations and detects changes in wrinkle depth following moisturizer application.

A multi-layer platform for low-loss nonlinear silicon photonics

open access: yesAPL Photonics, 2019
We demonstrate four-wave mixing (FWM) interactions in a-Si:H waveguides in a multilayer integrated silicon photonic chip. The a-Si:H waveguides are accessed through interlayer couplers from waveguides composed of SiNx.

Waveguide, waveguide production method, and polarisation splitter using said waveguide

open access: yes, 2019
The invention relates to a waveguide and a polarisation splitter based on said waveguide, in which a rotation of an angle greater than zero is applied to a plurality of sections of a core material and a plurality of sections of a covering material, thereby achieving independent control of the refractive indices of a zero-order transverse electric mode ...

Spatially‐Controlled Planar Guided Crystallization of Low‐Loss Phase Change Materials for Programmable Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The concept of spatially‐controlled planar guided crystallization is a novel method for programming the growth of optically homogeneous low‐loss Sb2S3 phase‐change material (PCM), leveraging the directional crystallization within confined channels.

Full Crystallographic Imaging of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Monolayers with Phonon‐Enhanced Sum‐Frequency Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A nonlinear optical microscopy technique is introduced that enables rapid imaging of hexagonal boron nitride monolayers, which are usually optically invisible. The nonlinear mixing of mid‐infrared and visible laser pulses enables full crystallographic imaging through phase‐resolved sum‐frequency generation microscopy, where the resonant excitation of a

Thermally Drawn Multifunctional All‐Hydrogel Fibers for Anti‐Fibrotic and Multimodal Neural Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogels demonstrate material properties that mimic the mechanical and chemical environments of biological tissues. Yet, they face challenges during their integration into 3D interfaces. By identifying a class of thermoplastic hydrogels, a strategy is developed to pattern hydrogels in thermally drawn fibers.
