A random-matrix theory is presented for the reflection of light by a disordered medium backed by a phase-conjugating mirror. Two regimes are distinguished, depending on the relative magnitude of the inverse dwell time of a photon in the…
We present a high-yield method for fabricating concave micromirror templates in silica using feedback-controlled CO2 laser ablation with precise in situ positioning. Real-time monitoring of the white-light emission generated during ablation…
Thermodynamical fluctuations of temperature in mirrors may produce surface fluctuations not only through thermal expansion in mirror body but also through thermal expansion in mirror coating. We analyze the last "surface" effect which can…
Curved reflective mirrors play an indispensable role in widely-employed Cassegrain-type optics, which consequently are inevitably bulky, and thus neither integratable nor well extendable. Through substituting geometric phase based…
High reflective coatings are used in many physics experiments. Despite the high quality of the opticalcoating, the performances of the mirrors is altered by the scattered light induced by micrometers sizedefects in the coating layers. The…
Copy detection pattern (CDP) is a novel solution for products' protection against counterfeiting, which gains its popularity in recent years. CDP attracts the anti-counterfeiting industry due to its numerous benefits in comparison to…
In this chapter we review the magnetic effects produced by proton irradiation on graphite, disordered carbon and fullerene films. The advantage of proton irradiation is twofold: it enables us to make an impurity analysis simultaneously to…
Texture in dense or porous ceramics can enhance their functional and structural properties. Current methods for texturation employ anisotropic particles as starting powders and processes that drive their orientation into specific…
Shatterproof polymer films are widely for windows used because they can be easily installed on existing glass windows to improve safety. Applying them to glass plates has been reported to not only prevent fragments from scattering but also…
We demonstrate laser-written concave hemispherical structures produced on the endfacets of optical fibers that serve as mirror substrates for tunable open-access microcavities. We achieve finesse values of up to 250, and a mostly constant…
Metalization of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) composites by the surface modification method to enhance their electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, erosion, and radiation protection, has a…
Periodic layered media can reflect strongly for all incident angles and polarizations in a given frequency range. Quarter-wave stacks at normal incidence are commonplace in the design of such omnidirectional reflectors. We discuss…
We review the theory of the Casimir effect using scattering techniques. After years of theoretical efforts, this formalism is now largely mastered so that the accuracy of theory-experiment comparisons is determined by the level of precision…
Focused laser beams allow controlling mechanical motion of objects and can serve as a tool for assembling complex micro and nano structures in space. While in a vast majority of cases small particles experience attractive gradient forces…
We present a new class of magnetically shaped deformable liquid mirrors made of a magnetic liquid (ferrofluid). Deformable liquid mirrors offer advantages with respect to deformable solid mirrors: large deformations, low costs and the…
Limited access to corrective eyewear remains a significant medical, societal, and economic challenge, even in the 21st century. More than 1 billion people suffer from uncorrected vision impairment, with the vast majority residing in…
The use of individual multimode optical fibers in endoscopy applications has the potential to provide highly miniaturized and noninvasive probes for microscopy and optical micromanipulation. A few different strategies have been proposed…
We report the design, nanofabrication, and characterization of high-quality polymer-based micromirror structures employing the 3D two-photon polymerization lithography technique. Compared to conventional microcavity approaches, our…
Carbon fibres (CF) represent a significant volume fraction of modern structural airframes. Embedded into polymer matrices, they provide significant strength and stiffness gains over unit weight as compared to other competing structural…
The quest to improve transparent conductors balances two key goals: increasing electrical conductivity and increasing optical transparency. To improve both simultaneously is hindered by the physical limitation that good metals with high…
