High Finesse Cavity with Anapole-Assisted Resonant Subwavelength Particle Mirror

Z. Xi, H. P. Urbach

Strong light interaction with a subwavelength object has been a long pursuing goal with difficulties mainly arising from the diffraction limit. We propose a high finesse cavity wit…

Fisher-Information Efficient Metagratings for Transverse Displacement Metrology at the Measurement Independent Shot-Noise Limit

Zheng Xi, Sander Konijnenberg, H. P. Urbach

We derive the measurement independent precision bound for transverse displacement metrology using a classical source. Using tools from quantum estimation theory and metamaterial de…

On-chip interrogator based on Fourier Transform spectroscopy

Fellipe Grillo Peternella, Thomas Esselink, Bas Dorsman +5

In this paper, the design and the characterization of a novel interrogator based on integrated Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy is presented. To the best of our knowledge, this…

Spatial Mode Selective Waveguide with Hyperbolic Cladding

Y. Tang, Z. Xi, M. Xu +3

Hyperbolic Meta-Materials~(HMMs) are anisotropic materials with permittivity tensor that has both positive and negative eigenvalues. Here we report that by using a type II HMM as c…

Extended object reconstruction from image intensities blurred by unknown aberrations

Yifeng Shao, Niek Doelman, Silvania F. Pereira +1

We describe and experimentally validate an algorithm to reconstruct an unknown extended object from through-focus measured image intensities blurred by unknown aberrations. It is s…

Broadband active tuning of unidirectional scattering from nanoantenna using combined radially and azimuthally polarized beams

Zheng Xi, Lei Wei, A. J. L. Adam +1

We propose an approach to actively tune the scattering pattern of a Mie-type spherical antenna. The scheme is based on separate control over the induced electric dipole and induced…

Optimized 3D simulation method for modeling of out-of-plane radiation in silicon photonic integrated circuits

W. J. Westerveld, H. P. Urbach, M. Yousefi

We present an accurate and fast 3D simulation scheme for out-of-plane grating couplers, based on two dimensional rigorous (finite difference time domain) grating simulations, the e…

Image formation properties and inverse imaging problem in aperture based scanning near field optical microscopy

S. Schmidt, A. E. Klein, T. Paul +7

Aperture based scanning near field optical microscopes are important instruments to study light at the nanoscale and to understand the optical functionality of photonic nanostructu…

Electromagnetic Spin-Orbit Interactions via Scattering

L. T. Vuong, A. J. L. Adam, J. M. Brok +4

The longitudinal components of orthogonal-circularly polarized fields carry a phase singularity that changes sign depending on the polarization handedness. The addition of orbital…
