ThX3 2:15 PM - 2:30 PM
Amplifying Optical Gradient Forces with
Metamaterials, V. Ginis, Vrije University
Brussels, Brussel, Belgium, P. Tassin, Iowa State
University, Ames, IA, USA and I. Veretennicoff,
Vrije University Brussels, Brussel, Belgium
We demonstrate how transformation optics can
be used to amplify optical gradient forces. We
show how metamaterials allow to enhance
optical forces between two optical waveguides
over several magnitudes even when realistic
losses are included.
ThU3 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM (Invited)
Improved Efficiency and Divergence of
Intense High-Order Harmonics from
Carbon Plasma, Y. Pertot, J. Fouquet and
T. Ozaki, Institut National de la Recherche
Scientifique, Varennes, QC, Canada
We improve the efficiency and divergence of
high-order harmonics from carbon plasma,
which could be pumped with sub-mJ laser. This
opens the possibility for high repetition rate
experiments with intense attosecond pulses.
ThV3 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Laminated Polymer Waveguide Fan-out
Device for Uncoupled Multi-core Fiber,
Y. Kokubun and T. Watanabe, Yokohama National
University, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan
A compact waveguide-type fan-out device for
uncoupled multi-core fibers was demonstrated
using laminated polymer waveguide. The
measured coupling losses from a 7-core fiber to
seven single-core fibers were as low as 0.2 - 4.4
dB.
ThW3 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Growth of InAs Quantum Dot Laser
Structures on Silicon, A. Liu, C. Zhang,
A. C. Gossard and J. E. Bowers, University of
California - Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA,
USA
We report on the direct epitaxial growth of InAs
quantum dot based laser structures on silicon
substrates. Aspects of the heteroepitaxy and
quantum dot growth are examined.
ThX4 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Designing a Nanoantenna-Superlens
System for Sensing Applications, Z. Liu,
E.-P. Li, Institute of High Performance
Computing, Singapore, V. M. Shalaev and
A. V. Kildishev, Purdue University, West
Lafayette, IN, USA
We demonstrate near field enhancement generation
in a silver nanoantenna-superlens system.
Using near-field coupling effect and genetic
algorithm for optimization we can design a
nanoantenna-superlens system with mismatched
permittivities for sensing applications.
ThW4 2:45 PM - 3:00 PM
Development of Lattice-Matched
GaPN/AlGaPN DBR on Si, H. Okada,
K. Kumagai, T. Kawai, H. Sekiguchi and
A. Wakahara, Toyohashi University of
Technology, Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan
Development of GaPN/AlGaPN heterostructures
by solid source MBE for distributed Bragg
reflector (DBR) for optical device on Si was
investigated. Preliminary fabricated eight-pair
DBR successfully demonstrated reflection spectrum
having peak at 850 nm as expected.
ThX5 2:45 PM - 3:00 PM
2D Plasmon Propagation Inside a Two-
Dimensional Electron Gas Layer with a
Low Loss Metallic Gate, M. A. Khorrami
and S. El-Ghazaly, University of Arkansas,
Fayetteville, AR, USA
We have used perturbation theory to analytically
characterize 2D plasmons’ propagation inside
gated two dimensional electron gas layers of
hetero-structures. Using this analysis, the attenuations
due to ohmic losses of the metallic gate
are calculated.
