Multistage VIPA etalons for high-extinction parallel Brillouin spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate a high-resolution high-extinction parallel spectrometer for Brillouin spectroscopy of turbid samples. Cascading multiple VIPA etalons in the cross-axis configuration allowed us to achieve a high extinction ratio of up to 80 dB with sub-GHz resolution. Using a three-stage VIPA, we obtained the Brillouin spectra from Intralipid solutions at concentrations up to 10%.

High-extinction VIPA-based Brillouin spectroscopy of turbid biological media
Brillouin microscopy has recently emerged as powerful technique to characterize the mechanical properties of biological tissue, cell and biomaterials. However, the potential of Brillouin microscopy is currently limited to transparent samples, because Brillouin spectrometers do not have sufficient spectral extinction to reject the predominant non-Brillouin scattered light of turbid media. To ove...
متن کاملHigh Speed Sub-GHz Spectrometer for Brillouin Scattering Analysis.
The goal of this protocol is to build a parallel high-extinction and high-resolution optical Brillouin spectrometer. Brillouin spectroscopy is a non-contact measurement method that can be used to obtain direct readouts of viscoelastic material properties. It has been a useful tool in material characterization, structural monitoring and environmental sensing. In the past, Brillouin spectroscopy ...

متن کاملSpatially resolved Brillouin spectroscopy to determine the rheological properties of the eye lens
Presbyopia is closely associated with the loss of accommodation, and hence with a decline in the viscoelastic properties of the human eye lens. In this article we describe a method for obtaining spatially resolved in vivo measurements of the rheological properties of the eye lens, based on the spectroscopic analysis of spontaneous Brillouin scattering using a virtually imaged phased array (VIPA...
متن کاملHigh Extinction Ratio Widely Tunable Low-Loss Integrated Si3N4 Third-Order Filter
We demonstrate an integrated continuously tunable third-order ring filter with a measured extinction ratio of 80dB, a 100x improvement over previously demonstrated integrated 3 or 6 order filters. Using integrated thermal tuning elements, the filter can be tuned over 100% of its 48 GHz free spectral range with 1.3 dB insertion loss. The filters are fabricated on a wafer-scale foundry compatible...
