Subwavelength engineering and utilizing phase-change materials with large contrast in their optical properties have become powerful design tools for integrated silicon photonics. Reversible phase-transition of phase-change materials such as…

We present an experimental study on our first generation of custom-developed arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) on silica platform for spectroscopic applications in near-infrared astronomy. We provide a comprehensive description of the…

SPICA is a mid to far infra-red space mission to explore the processes that form galaxies, stars and planets. SPICA/SAFARI is the far infrared spectrometer that provides near-background limited observations between 34 and 230 micrometers.…

HIRMES is a far-infrared spectrometer that was chosen as the third generation instrument for NASA's SOFIA airborne observatory. HIRMES promises background limited performance in four modes that cover the wavelength range between 25 and 122…

The Mid-Infrared Instrument MIRI on-board the James Webb Space Telescope uses three Si:As impurity band conduction detector arrays. MIRI medium resolution spectroscopic measurements (R$\sim$3500-1500) in the 5~$\mu m$ to 28~$\mu m$…

Thin film systems are often analysed by using sputter depth profiling. First the sample gets eroded by inert gas ion impact during sputter depth profiling. Then the elemental composition of the freshly unveiled surface is determined by…

Scattering experiments can be leveraged to extract the effective properties of a heterogeneous metamaterial slab based on multi-point measurements in surrounding media. In this technique, two measurements are made in the ambient media on…

This paper introduces the Infra-Red, In Situ (IRIS) inspection method, which uses short-wave IR (SWIR) light to non-destructively "see through" the backside of chips and image them with lightly modified conventional digital CMOS cameras.…

The Zero Contrast Grating (ZCG) is a promising candidate for moded and dispersive mid-infrared (MIR) photonics for its broadband transmittance and reflectance greater than 99.9%. The optimal grating design including refractive index and…

This paper studies the theory and applications of the diffraction of electromagnetic waves by space-time periodic (STP) diffraction gratings. We show that, in contrast with conventional spatially periodic grating, a STP diffraction grating…

The spectrometer SPI on INTEGRAL allows for the first time simultaneous imaging of diffuse and point-like emission in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray regime. To fully exploit the capabilities of the instrument, we implemented the MREM…

One of the important advantages of optical metasurfaces over conventional diffractive optical elements is their capability to efficiently deflect light by large angles. However, metasurfaces are conventionally designed using approaches that…

We report on the design of an all-mirror wavefront-division interferometer capable of spectroscopic studies across multiple spectral ranges$\unicode{x2013}$from the plasma frequencies of metals to terahertz wavelengths and beyond. The…

Ultrafast laser inscription (ULI) is a rapidly maturing technique which uses focused ultrashort laser pulses to locally modify the refractive index of dielectric materials in three-dimensions (3D). Recently, ULI has been applied to the…

X-ray grating interferometry is an excellent technique for X-ray phase contrast imaging and X-ray wavefront sensing with applications in materials science, biology and medical diagnosis. Among other requirements, the method depends on the…

The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a 1x1 degree infrared survey telescope under development at MIT and Caltech, and slated for commissioning at Palomar Observatory in 2021. WINTER is a seeing-limited infrared time-domain…

We report the performance of a silicon wafer beamsplitter for use for low $\Delta\nu>0.3 cm^{-1}$ resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy at far infrared frequencies. We characterize the Si beamsplitter by comparing throughput spectra…

The STIS echelle gratings can be used with a variety of different central wavelength settings. "Secondary" wavelength settings, designed to cover select absorption or emission lines, have not been calibrated as precisely as their primary…

The HIgh-Resolution Mid-infrarEd Spectrometer (HIRMES) is the 3rd Generation Instrument for the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), currently in development at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and due for…

We present results of performance modelling for METIS, the Mid-infrared European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) Imager and Spectrograph. Designed by a consortium of NOVA (Netherlands), UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UK), MPIA Heidelberg…
