Piezoelectric MEMS Phase Modulator for Silicon Nitride Platform in the Visible Spectrum

Firehun T. Dullo, Paul C. Thrane, Nikhil Jayakumar +4

Active photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in the visible spectrum are essential for on-chip applications, requiring low-loss waveguides with broad transparency and efficient, low-…

Metasurface lens that is converging or diverging depending on transmission direction enables ultra-compact MEMS tunable reflective lens

Firehun Dullo, Jesil Jose, Gregory Bouquet +2

A conventional refractive lens surface can act as a positive (converging) or negative (diverging) lens, but the same surface cannot act as both. We show that a geometric phase meta…

Label-free incoherent super-resolution optical microscopy

Nikhil Jayakumar, Luis E. Villegas-Hernandez, Weisong Zhao +6

The photo-kinetics of fluorescent molecules have enabled the circumvention of far-field optical diffraction-limit. Despite its enormous potential, the necessity to label the sample…

MEMS-tunable dielectric metasurface lens using thin-film PZT for large displacements at low voltages

Christopher A. Dirdal, Paul C. V. Thrane, Firehun T. Dullo +3

Tunable focusing is a desired property in a wide range of optical imaging and sensing technologies but has tended to require bulky components which cannot be integrated on-chip and…

Label-free chip-based evanescent light scattering super-resolution and superior-contrast optical microscopy (cELS)

Nikhil Jayakumar, Firehun T Dullo, Vishesh Dubey +7

Chip-based Evanescent Light Scattering (cELS) utilizes the multiple modes of a high-index contrast optical waveguide for near-field illumination of unlabeled samples, thereby repos…

Roadmap on multimode light shaping

Marco Piccardo, Vincent Ginis, Andrew Forbes +35

Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously com…

Photonic-chip assisted correlative light and electron microscopy

Jean-Claude Tinguely, Anna Maria Steyer, Cristina Ionica Øie +6

Correlative light-electron microscopy (CLEM) unifies the versatility of light microscopy (LM) with the high resolution of electron microscopy (EM), allowing one to zoom into the co…
