Surface characterization of micro-optical components by Foucault's knife-edge method: the case of a micromirror array.

Applied optics

Zamkotsian F, Dohlen K.
PMID: 18324186
Appl Opt. 1999 Nov 01;38(31):6532-9. doi: 10.1364/ao.38.006532.

As micro-optical components are introduced into optical systems, accurate surface characterization becomes important. We describe a method for quantitative evaluation of surface deformations based on Foucault's knife-edge test. By measurement of local slopes, the surface shape of each mirror...

Opt Express. 2012 Nov 05;20(23):25267-74. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.025267.

We have fabricated and characterized fully programmable diffraction gratings consisting of 64 silicon micro-mirrors. The mirrors are 700µm long and 50µm wide with a fill factor of 90%. They are actuated electrostatically and move down by 1.25μm while showing...

Holography with Photochromic Diarylethenes.

Materials (Basel, Switzerland)

Oggioni L, Pariani G, Zamkotsian F, Bertarelli C, Bianco A.
PMID: 31480569
Materials (Basel). 2019 Sep 01;12(17). doi: 10.3390/ma12172810.

Photochromic materials are attractive for the development of holograms for different reasons: they show a modulation of the complex refractive index, meaning they are suitable for both amplitude and phase holograms; they are self-developing materials, which do not require...

Characterization by guided wave of instabilities of optical coatings submitted to high-power flux: thermal and third-order nonlinear properties of dielectric thin films.

Applied optics

Flory F, Rigneault H, Maythaveekulchai N, Zamkotsian F.
PMID: 20856379
Appl Opt. 1993 Oct 01;32(28):5628-39. doi: 10.1364/AO.32.005628.

We study the reversible refractive index variations of optical thin films submitted to a high-power light flux. As a preliminary step, we study the thermorefractive coefficient ?n/?T and the laser damage threshold of our materials. From the hypothesis of...

Alata R, Pariani G, Zamkotsian F, Lanzoni P, Bianco A, Bertarelli C.
PMID: 28381036
Opt Express. 2017 Mar 20;25(6):6945-6953. doi: 10.1364/OE.25.006945.

Computer Generated Holograms (CGHs) are used for wavefront shaping and complex optics testing. Present technology allows for recording binary CGHs. We propose a Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) as a reconfigurable mask, to record rewritable binary and grayscale CGHs on...

High-dynamic range segmented mirror metrology by two-wavelength PISTIL interferometry: demonstration and performance.

Optics express

Rouze B, Primot J, Lanzoni P, Zamkotsian F, Tache F, Bellanger C.
PMID: 33114928
Opt Express. 2020 Oct 26;28(22):32415-32425. doi: 10.1364/OE.398390.

The PISTIL interferometry has been recently developed for the wavefront sensing of phase delays (pistons) and tilts of segmented surfaces, used in many domains such as astronomy, high-power lasers or ophthalmology. In this paper, we propose a two-wavelength version...

Optical characterization of two-dimensional array of 2,048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy.

Optics express

Canonica MD, Zamkotsian F, Lanzoni P, Noell W, De Rooij N.
PMID: 24104129
Opt Express. 2013 Sep 23;21(19):22400-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.022400.

A micromirror array composed of 2048 silicon micromirrors measuring 200 × 100 μm² and tilting by 25° was developed as a reconfigurable slit mask for multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) in astronomy. The fill factor, contrast, and mirror deformation at both...

Opt Express. 2019 Sep 16;27(19):26446-26458. doi: 10.1364/OE.27.026446.

Computer generated holograms (CGHs) are powerful optical elements used in many fields, such as wavefront shaping, quality testing of complex optics, and anti-counterfeiting devices. The Lee algorithm is the most used to generate binary amplitude Fourier holograms. Grayscale CGHs...
