Multilayer Fabrication Process for Josephson Junction Circuits Cross-compatible over Two Foundries

We have developed a thin-film fabrication process which allows manufacturing of Josephson junction-based devices from the same layout data either in the VTT foundry in Espoo, Finland, or in the FLUXONICS...

Toward food analytics: fast estimation of lycopene and beta-carotene content in tomatoes based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)

Carotenoids are molecules that play important roles in both plant development and in the well-being of mammalian organisms. Due to this fact, different studies have been performed towards understanding...

Visible-light sensitized photocatalytic hydrogen generation using a dual emissive heterodinuclear cyclometalated iridium(III)/ruthenium(II) complex

The synthesis, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the heterodinuclear iridium(III)/ruthenium(II) photosensitizer Ir-BBI-Ru, i.e. [(ppy)2Ir-(tmBBI)-Ru(tbbpy)2][PF6] (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine;...

Broadband azimuthal polarization conversion using gold nanowire enhanced step-index fiber

We show broadband azimuthal polarization state conversion using an entirely connectorized step-index fiber with a central gold nanowire. This device provides broadband polarization discrimination of the...

Interferometric high temperature sensor using suspended-core optical fibers

We propose and experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, high temperature fiber sensing using the multimode interference effect within a suspended-core microstructured optical fiber...

Microstructural impact on the optical properties of ZnO nanostructures for dye-sensitized solar cells

Propagating Surface Plasmon Polaritons: Towards Applications for Remote-Excitation Surface Catalytic Reactions

Plasmonics is a well-established fi eld, exploiting the interaction of light and metals at the nanoscale; with the help of surface plasmon polaritons, remote-excitation can also be observed by using silver...

Magnetic domain wall gratings for magnetization reversal tuning and confined dynamic mode localization

High density magnetic domain wall gratings are imprinted in ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic thinfilms by local ion irradiation by which alternating head-to-tail-to-head-to-tail and head-to-headto-tail-to-tail...

Acetone evaporation and water vapor detection using a caterpillar-like microstructured fiber

A new microstructured optical fiber is presented as a sensor of acetone evaporation. Sensing is performed by observing the time response of the reflected signal at 1550 nm when the device is dipped in...

Standardizing the resolution claims for coherent microscopy

The definition and reporting of spatial resolution for coherent imaging methods varies widely in the imaging community. We advocate the use of a standard spoke-pattern imaging target and the mandatory...
