    Whispering Gallery Modes Microresonators for Sensing and Biosensing Applications

    Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) microresonators continue to receive an even greater interest for investigation in many fundamental processes (e.g.: quantum electrodynamics or non–linear optics) and in more app...

    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...

    Reproducibility of splicer-based long-period fiber gratings for gain equalization

    We fabricated long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) using electric arc discharges. We observed that the fiber becomes slightly tapered due to longitudinal tension during the arc: this effect depends on the arc cu...

    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...

    Diagnostic techniques for photonic materials based on Raman and Brillouin spectroscopies

    The elastic and vibrational properties of a material, bulk or planar waveguide, are studied by Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy to follow the process of nanocrystals growth in glass-ceramics. The nanoparticles...
