An Eulerian Numerical Method for Geometric Optics

R esum e. La description classique du probl eme de l'optique g eom etrique est La-grangienne. Le passage a la repr esentation Eul erienne est possible mais, en pr esence de caustiques, ne permet pas de calculer la solution Lagrangienne compl ete. On pr esente le contexte math ematique du probl eme ainsi que quelques outils num eriques d evelop-p es pour lever cette limitation. Abstract. The cla...

Single Mode 3D Diffusive Photopolymer Optics for Optical Integrated Circuits

We demonstrate single mode three-dimensional optics fabricated via direct-write lithography in diffusive photopolymers, including uniform waveguides, symmetrical waveguide tapers, 90 OCIS codes: sharp waveguide bends and waveguides through thin hybrid subcomponents.

Surface-Micromachined Photonic Integrated Circuits

The ability to integrate micro-optical elements with movable structures and microactuators has opened up many new opportunities for optical and optoelectronic systems"2. It allows us to manipulate optical beams more effectively than conventional methods, and is scalable to large optical systems. Optical MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) have applications in di~play~"'~, sensing6, and optica...

Surface plasmon wave adapter designed with transformation optics.

On the basis of transformation optics, we propose the design of a surface plasmon wave adapter which confines surface plasmon waves on non-uniform metal surfaces and enables adiabatic mode transformation of surface plasmon polaritons with very short tapers. This adapter can be simply achieved with homogeneous anisotropic naturally occurring materials or subwavelength grating-structured dielectr...
