Tight focus of light using micropolarizer and microlens.

Applied optics

Stafeev SS, O'Faolain L, Kotlyar VV, Nalimov AG.
PMID: 25967493
Appl Opt. 2015 May 10;54(14):4388-94. doi: 10.1364/AO.54.004388.

Using a binary microlens of diameter 14 μm and focal length 532 nm (NA=0.997) in resist, we focus a 633 nm laser beam into a near-circular focal spot with dimensions (0.35 ± 0.02)λ and (0.38 ± 0.02)λ (λ is...

Opt Express. 2010 Oct 25;18(22):22915-27. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.022915.

We experimentally investigate four-wave mixing (FWM) in short (80 μm) dispersion-engineered slow light silicon photonic crystal waveguides. The pump, probe and idler signals all lie in a 14 nm wide low dispersion region with a near-constant group velocity of...

Planar photonic crystal cavities with far-field optimization for high coupling efficiency and quality factor.

Optics express

Portalupi SL, Galli M, Reardon C, Krauss TF, O'Faolain L, Andreani LC, Gerace D.
PMID: 20720991
Opt Express. 2010 Jul 19;18(15):16064-73. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.016064.

Different types of planar photonic crystal cavities aimed at optimizing the far-field emission pattern are designed and experimentally assessed by resonant scattering measurements. We systematically investigate the interplay between achieving the highest possible quality (Q) factor and maximizing the...

Analysis of the shape of a subwavelength focal spot for the linearly polarized light.

Applied optics

Kotlyar VV, Stafeev SS, Liu Y, O'Faolain L, Kovalev AA.
PMID: 23338178
Appl Opt. 2013 Jan 20;52(3):330-9. doi: 10.1364/AO.52.000330.

By decomposing a linearly polarized light field in terms of plane waves, the elliptic intensity distribution across the focal spot is shown to be determined by the E-vector's longitudinal component. Considering that the Poynting vector's projection onto the optical...

Experimental high numerical aperture focusing with high contrast gratings.

Optics letters

Klemm AB, Stellinga D, Martins ER, Lewis L, Huyet G, O'Faolain L, Krauss TF.
PMID: 23988971
Opt Lett. 2013 Sep 01;38(17):3410-3. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.003410.

We demonstrate high aperture (up to NA~0.64) three-dimensional focusing in free space based on wavefront-engineered diffraction gratings. The grating lens' optical response is tailored by spatially varying the grating ridge and groove width in two dimensions to achieve focal...

Compact polarization converter in InP-based material.

Kotlyar M, Bolla L, Midrio M, O'Faolain L, Krauss T.
PMID: 19498491
Opt Express. 2005 Jun 27;13(13):5040-5. doi: 10.1364/opex.13.005040.

We present a polarization converter using one-dimensional grating principles. The device is based on slanted slots etched deeply into an InP/InGaAsP heterostructure. Almost complete polarization conversion, with a 14 dB extinction ratio, is observed for a device less than...

Integrated optical auto-correlator based on third-harmonic generation in a silicon photonic crystal waveguide.

Nature communications

PMID: 24496243
Nat Commun. 2014;5:3246. doi: 10.1038/ncomms4246.

The ability to use coherent light for material science and applications is linked to our ability to measure short optical pulses. While free-space optical methods are well established, achieving this on a chip would offer the greatest benefit in...

Highly efficient optical filter based on vertically coupled photonic crystal cavity and bus waveguide.

Optics letters

Debnath K, Welna K, Ferrera M, Deasy K, Lidzey DG, O'Faolain L.
PMID: 23454946
Opt Lett. 2013 Jan 15;38(2):154-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.000154.

We experimentally demonstrate a new optical filter design based on a vertically coupled photonic crystal (PhC) cavity and a bus waveguide monolithically integrated on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The use of a vertically coupled waveguide gives flexibility in the choice...

PMID: 23388763
Opt Express. 2012 Dec 31;20(28):29361-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.029361.

We demonstrate the design, fabrication and characterization of mid-infrared photonic crystal waveguides on a silicon-on-insulator platform, showing guided modes in the wavelength regime between 2.9 and 3.9 µm. The characterization is performed with a proprietary intra-cavity Optical Parametric Oscillator...
