Optical coupling between monocrystalline colloidal crystals and a planar waveguide
We have experimentally demonstrated an optical material structure consisting of monocrystalline colloidal crystals and a planar waveguide. We have performed experimental studies of light coupling into the waveguide structure via colloidal gratings, as well as the multiplexing capability of the structure. Effective index obtained from measured parameters agrees well with theoretical calculations...
متن کاملLaser beam deflection sensor in a planar optical waveguide based in the Mirage effect
The beam deflection of a guided mode in a planar optical waveguide is analyzed. The deflexion is caused by a gradual change in the depth of the waveguide that is transversal to its propagation direction. The beam deflection angle could be modulated by a change in the refractive index at the surface layer of the waveguide. We present numerical results to evaluate the deflexion in the case of a g...
متن کاملOptical terahertz wave generation in a planar GaAs waveguide.
We report generation of terahertz (THz) radiation in a planar 61-microm-thick GaAs waveguide with a TM0 propagation mode, achieved by phase-matched difference frequency mixing. The THz output was centered near 2 THz and had 1 microW average power. As a pump source we utilized both the signal and the idler outputs of a near-degenerate type II synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator op...
متن کاملPlanar Integrated Optical Waveguide Sensor for Isopropyl Alcohol in Aqueous Media
An attenuated total reflection (ATR) sensor for water-miscible organic solvents was constructed using a combination of sol-gel processing and integrated optical waveguide (IOW) technologies. The sensor consisted of single-mode, sol-gel based planar waveguide coated with a 40 nm thick, porous sol-gel indicator layer prepared from methyltriethoxysilane and doped with methyl red. The response of t...
متن کاملA simple miniature optical spectrometer with a planar waveguide grating coupler in combination with a plano-convex lens.
A miniature optical spectrometer with a thin-film planar waveguide grating coupler in combination with a miniature plano-convex focusing lens has been investigated. With optical part of the spectrometer as small as 0.2 cubic cm, the spectral resolution varies from 0.3 nm to 4.6 nm within the wavelength range 488.0 nm - 632.8 nm.
