Open AccessOptomechanical crystals for spatial sensing of submicron sized particles
Optomechanical crystal cavities (OMC) have rich perspectives for detecting and indirectly analysing biological particles, such as proteins, bacteria and viruses. In this work we demonstrate the working princip...

Open AccessA self-stabilized coherent phonon source driven by optical forces
We report a novel injection scheme that allows for “phonon lasing” in a one-dimensional opto-mechanical photonic crystal, in a sideband unresolved regime and with cooperativity values as low as 10−2. It extracts ...

Open AccessFar-field characterization of the thermal dynamics in lasing microspheres
This work reports the dynamical thermal behavior of lasing microspheres placed on a dielectric substrate while they are homogeneously heated-up by the top-pump laser used to excite the active medium. The lasin...

Optical gain by upconversion in Tm–Yb oxyfluoride glass ceramic
Evidence of positive optical gain is observed in Tm3+–Yb3+-codoped oxyfluoride glass ceramic in an upconversion pump and probe experiment. The 1G4 level of the Tm3+ ions is populated by an upconversion mechanism ...

Localized desvitrifiation in Er3+-doped strontium barium niobate glass by laser irradiation
Localized desvitrifiation in strontium barium niobate glass doped with Er3+ under laser irradiation has been carried out. The samples of this study have been fabricated by the melt quenching method and doped with...

Upconversion emission in Er3+-doped lead niobium germanate thin-film glasses produced by pulsed laser deposition
Thin films of Er3+-doped lead–niobium germanate have been produced by pulsed laser deposition from Er3+-doped 25PbO2–25Nb2O5–50GeO2 (mol%) transparent glasses with an Er content in the range 0.5–3 wt%. The room-t...

Influence of Thickness Fluctuations on the Energy-Loss Spectra of Protons Transmitted Through Thin Films
Structures appearing in the energy-loss spectra of energetic protons transmitted through thin Al films, such as peaks and shoulders, are studied as a function of both the bombarding energy and the tilt angle o...

Chapter
Thin Film Inhomogeneity Characterization by Ion Beam Technique
As it is well known, when an ion beam traverses a thin solid foil, the ions are slowed down and dispersed in energy.

Theoretical Analysis of the Influence of Foil Inhomogeneities on the Angular Variation of the Energy-Loss
When measuring the energy loss as a function of the exit angle for swift light ions traversing a thin film, a minimum around the beam direction can be observed (1–4). It indicates that less scattered ions lose...
