    The generally covariant meaning of space distances

    We propose a covariant and geometric framework to introduce space distances as they are used by astronomers. In particular, we extend the definition of space distances from the one used between events to non-t...

    Study of graphitic microstructure formation in diamond bulk by pulsed Bessel beam laser writing

    The advantages of using Bessel beams for the generation of graphitic structures in diamond bulk are presented. We show that by irradiating the sample with a pulsed Bessel beam whose non-diffracting zone is of ...

    Whispering gallery mode profiles in a coated microsphere

    The properties of whispering gallery modes (WGM) of a microsphere can be tailored by coating the resonator with a thin film. If the coating has a higher refractive index than the microsphere core, the resultin...

    Er3+-activated silica inverse opals synthesized by the solgel method

    We present the details of the sol-gel processing used to realize inverse silica opal, where the silica was activated with 0.3 mol% of Er3+ ions. The template (direct opal) was obtained assembling polystyrene sphe...
