Hyperspectral near-field imaging : development and applications to nanophotonics devices

2013

The scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is used to analyze optical phenomena at the sub-wavelength scale such as light localization and propagation in photonic crystals or plasmonic devices. In any case, SNOM experiments rely on the positioning of a local probe in the optical near field of a given structure and on the detection of the surrounding evanescent waves. Depending on the nature of the probe or on the optical detection method, the detected physical properties are the spatial distributions of the amplitude and phase or the intensity of the electric and magnetic components of the probed field. We present here the implementation of an innovative hyperspectral near-field imag…

On chip shapeable optical tweezers

2013

International audience; Particles manipulation with optical forces is known as optical tweezing. While tweezing in free space with laser beams was established in the 1980s, integrating the optical tweezers on a chip is a challenging task. Recent experiments with plasmonic nanoantennas, microring resonators, and photonic crystal nanocavities have demonstrated optical trapping. However, the optical field of a tweezer made of a single microscopic resonator cannot be shaped. So far, this prevents from optically driven micromanipulations. Here we propose an alternative approach where the shape of the optical trap can be tuned by the wavelength in coupled nanobeam cavities. Using these shapeable …

Optical parametric amplification in gas-filled hollow core capillary for the generation of tunable pulses in the infrared

2020

International audience; Ultrashort pulses in the near-infrared (NIR) to mid-infrared (MIR) are widely used for laser matter interaction experiments, e.g. the relaxation process of carrier semiconductors and chemical dynamics at the femtosecond and attosecond time scale [1,2]. Many different approaches based on nonlinear processes or laser devices can be found to generate pulses in theses spectral ranges. Recently, four wave mixing (FWM) based parametric amplification in gas-filled hollow core capillary (HCC) has been used to create a tunable source of ultrashort pulses. For example, pulses can be generated in the visible with an energy at the 10 µJ level [4] and in the near infrared at ~1.4…

Searching for signatures around 1920 MeV of a N-* state of three hadron nature

2009

We provide a series of arguments which support the idea that the peak seen in the gamma p -> K+ Lambda reaction around 1920 MeV should correspond to the recently predicted state of J(P) = 1/2(+) as a bound state of K(K) over bar N with a mixture of alpha(0)(980)N and f(0)(980)N components. At the same time we propose polarization experiments in that reaction as a further test of the prediction, as well as a study of the total cross-section for gamma p -> K(+)K(-)p at energies close to threshold and of d sigma/dM(inv) for invariant masses close to the two-kaon threshold.
