Grating Couplers - Modern Physics at the Border between Physics and Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Modern optics is a field which combines basic physics with industrial applications, especially in the domains of telecommunication and sensor development. The grating coupler, an important device of integrated optics, is proposed as a model system. It is particularly appropriate for discussing basic topics such as wave-guiding and diffraction, and can be used for demonstrating important applications. Practical hints are given for the use of grating couplers in laboratory courses.

Birefringence Properties and Surface Relief Grating Formation on Methylacrylate Polymers with Photochromic Side Chains
We have studied light-induced birefringence (LIB) and surface relief grating (SRG) formation in the series of methylacrylate polymers. The effect of material structure such as length of photochromic side chain, glass transition temperature and molecular structure of azo units on LIB and SRG are studied. The optical formation of self-induced SRG on films of these materials is also presented.
متن کاملInfluence of Grating Parameters on the Field Enhancement of an Optical Antenna under Laser Irradiation
In this study, a new approach for simulation of electric field enhancement ofplane wave laser around optical antenna was used to convert free-propagating opticalradiation to localized energy. A tapered gold tip design as a novel geometry of opticalantenna is introduced and numerically analyzed based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) by solving the Maxwell equations wit...
متن کاملOptimization of tangential fields arrangement in the breast cancer 3D conformal radiation therapy
Introduction: The incidence of breast cancer increases with the rate of 1-2% at the world. Radiation therapy is one of the available choices for breast cancer treatment. The single isocentre half-beam block technique is considered as a standard technique to avoid hot and cold spots within the PTV. The major advantage of half beam technique is that the both contralateral breast...

متن کاملمقایسه تطبیقی دو نمونه دیدگاه کل نگر پیش و پس از دوره مدرن در معماری: نگاه طبایعی(بر مبنای طبیعیات) و نظریه سالینگروس(بر مبنای فیزیک نوین و ریاضی)
Modern holism is an approach which tries to cover weaknesses of atomism in mechanically describing the world. Modern and pre-modern holisms are generally conceived to be similar. This paper mainly seeks to find if there is any similarity between architecture based on modern and pre-modern holism and, if yes, to what extent should we seek their similarities and differences. The hypothesis is tha...
