Continuously tuning the refractive indices by restructuring materials on the 20-1000 atoms scale: improving anti-reflection coating designs
Jacob Poole, Aidong Yan, Paul Ohodnicki +1
We demonstrate the capability of block-copolymer templating to tune the refractive indices of functional oxides over a broad range by structuring materials on the 20-1000 atoms sca…
Probing the Hydrogen Enhanced Near-Field Emission of ITO without a Vacuum-Gap
Jacob L. Poole, Yang Yu, Paul R. Ohodnicki
Thermal fluctuations of charged particles, fluctuations akin to Brownian motion, can excite optical surface-states leading to the concept of the thermal near-field, which is a high…
Near-Field Thermal Energy Conversion by Tunneling to a Waveguide
Jacob L. Poole, Paul R. Ohodnicki
Energy is a vital resource and hence there is a continuous strive to improve upon existing technologies and to find new ones that address that basic need. The conversion of thermal…
Sub-cm Resolution Distributed Fiber Optic Hydrogen Sensing with Nano-Engineered TiO2
Zsolt Poole, Paul Ohodnicki, Aidong Yan +2
The 3D nano-structuring on the <10nm scale allows the refractive index of functional sensory materials(n>2) to be reduced and matched with the cladding of optical fiber(n~1.46) for…
The optical applications of 3D sub-wavelength block-copolymer nanostructured functional materials
Zsolt Poole, Aidong Yan, Paul Ohodnicki +1
A method to engineer the refractive indices of functional materials (TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, SiO2), by nanostructuring in the deep sub-wavelength regime (<20nm), is presented. Block-copol…
