Performance of a Sagnac interferometer to observe vacuum optical nonlinearity

Aurélie Max Mailliet, Adrien E. Kraych, François Couchot +8

In Quantum Electrodynamics, vacuum becomes a nonlinear optical medium: its optical index should be modified in the presence of intense external electromagnetic fields. The DeLLight…

Optical and nanostructural insights of oblique angle deposited layers applied for photononic coatings

Florian Maudet, Bertrand Lacroix, Antonio J. Santos +10

Oblique angle deposition (OAD) is a nanostructuration method widely used to tune the optical properties of thin films. The introduction of porosity controlled by the deposition ang…

On the importance of light scattering for high performances nanostructured antireflective surfaces

Florian Maudet, Bertrand Lacroix, Antonio J. Santos +8

An antireflective coating presenting a continuous refractive index gradient is theoretically better than its discrete counterpart because it can give rise to a perfect broadband tr…

Temperature of a nanoparticle above a substrate under radiative heating and cooling

Houssem Kallel, Rémi Carminati, Karl Joulain

Controlling the temperature in architectures involving nanoparticles and substrates is a key issue for applications involving micro and nanoscale heat transfer. We study the therma…

Radiative heat transfer in a parallelogram shaped cavity

V. Le Dez, H. Sadat

An exact analytical description of the internal radiative field inside an emitting-absorbing gray semi-transparent medium enclosed in a two-dimensional parallelogram cavity is prop…

Demodulation of spatial carrier images : performance analysis of several algorithms using a single image

Claudiu Badulescu, M. Bornert, J. C. Dupré +6

Optical full-field techniques have a great importance in modern experimental mechanics. Even if they are reasonably spread among the university laboratories, their diffusion in ind…

Tailoring the local density of states of non-radiative field at the surface of nanolayered materials

Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Karl Joulain, Jérémie Drevillon +1

The ability to artificially grow in a controllable manner at nanoscale, from modern deposition techniques, complex structural configurations made with metallic, polar and semicondu…

Effects of spatial dispersion in near-field radiative heat transfer between two parallel metallic surfaces

Pierre-Olivier Chapuis, Sebastian Volz, Carsten Henkel +2

We study the heat transfer between two parallel metallic semi-infinite media with a gap in the nanometer-scale range. We show that the near-field radiative heat flux saturates at d…

Electromagnetic field correlations near a surface with a nonlocal optical response

Carsten Henkel, Karl Joulain

The coherence length of the thermal electromagnetic field near a planar surface has a minimum value related to the nonlocal dielectric response of the material. We perform two mode…

Surface Electromagnetic Waves Thermally Excited: Radiative Heat Transfer, Coherence Properties and Casimir Forces Revisited in the Near Field

Karl Joulain, Jean-Philippe Mulet, François Marquier +2

We review in this article the influence of surface waves on the thermally excited electromagnetic field. We study in particular the field emitted at subwalength distances of materi…

Definition and measurement of the local density of electromagnetic states close to an interface

K. Joulain, R. Carminati, J. -P Mulet +1

We propose in this article an unambiguous definition of the local density of electromagnetic states (LDOS) in a vacuum near an interface in an equilibrium situation at temperature…
