Search for deviations from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a gas at an interface
Petko Todorov, João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Isabelle Maurin +2
The isotropic Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) velocity distribution is the accepted standard for a gas at thermal equilibrium, with the Doppler width considered to deliver a very precise m…
Optics of an opal modeled with a stratified effective index and the effect of the interface
Isabelle Maurin, Elias Moufarej, Athanasios Laliotis +1
Reflection and transmission for an artificial opal are described through a model of stratified medium based upon a one-dimensional variation of an effective index. The model is not…
Resonant infiltration of an opal: reflection lineshape and contribution from in-depth regions
Isabelle Maurin, Daniel Bloch
We analyze the resonant variation of the optical reflection on an infiltrated artificial opal made of transparent nanospheres. The resonant infiltration is considered as a perturba…
Infiltrating a thin or single layer opal with an atomic vapour: sub-doppler signals and crystal optics
Elias Moufarej, Isabelle Maurin, Ilya Zabkov +4
Artificial thin glass opals can be infiltrated with a resonant alkali-metal vapour, providing novel types of hybrid systems. The reflection at the interface between the substrate a…
The optical interface of a photonic crystal: Modeling an opal with a stratified effective index
Isabelle Maurin, Elias Moufarej, Athanasios Laliotis +1
An artificial opal is a compact arrangement of transparent spheres, and is an archetype of a three-dimensional photonic crystal. Here, we describe the optics of an opal using a fle…
Casimir-Polder forces in the presence of thermally excited surface modes
Athanasios Laliotis, Thierry Passerat de Silans, Isabelle Maurin +2
The temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction addresses fundamental issues for understanding vacuum and thermal fluctuations. It is highly sensitive to surface waves…
