Fitting oscillator models to variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) data can lead to non-unique, unphysical results. We demonstrate using temperature-dependent trends to prevent overfitting and ensure model physicality. As a case…
The Ohara glass S-FTM16 is of considerable interest for near-infrared optical designs because it transmits well through the K band and because negative S-FTM16 elements can be used to accurately achromatize positive calcium fluoride…
Unveiling point defects concentration in transition metal oxide thin films is essential to understand and eventually control their functional properties, employed in an increasing number of applications and devices. Despite this…
A novel, to the best of our knowledge, ultralow-temperature luminescence thermometry strategy is proposed, based on a measurement of relative intensities of hyperfine components in the spectra of Ho$^{3+}$ ions doped into a crystal. A…
To measure low-temperature thermal fields, we have developed a single-element cooled thermal imaging camera for a spectral range of 8{\div}14 {\mu}m with an internal shutter for radiometric calibration. To improve the accuracy of measuring…
Understanding the temperature dependence of the optical properties of thin metal films is critical for designing practical devices for high temperature applications in a variety of research areas, including plasmonics and near-field…
When focusing an image, depth of field, aperture and distance from the camera to the object, must be taking into account, both, in visible and in infrared spectrum. Our experiments reveal that in addition, the focusing problem in thermal…
The lithium niobate single crystal is a well-known optical material that has been employed in a wide range of photonic applications. To realize further applications of the crystal, the birefringence properties need to be determined over a…
Low-cost thermal cameras are inaccurate (usually $\pm 3^\circ C$) and have space-variant nonuniformity across their detector. Both inaccuracy and nonuniformity are dependent on the ambient temperature of the camera. The goal of this work…
We describe an optical method to directly measure position-dependent thermal diffusivity of reflective single crystal samples across a broad range of temperatures for condensed matter physics research. Two laser beams are used, one as a…
In this paper, an opto-thermal analysis of a moderately heated lightweighted solar telescope mirror is carried out using 3D finite element analysis (FEA). A physically realistic heat transfer model is developed to account for the radiative…
Linear dielectric thermodynamics are formally developed to explore the isothermal and adiabatic temperature - pressure dependence of dielectric constants. The refractive index of optical materials is widely measured in the literature: it is…
In this paper, small-angle X-ray scattering measurements are used to determine the different compressibility contributions, as well as the isothermal compressibility, in thermal equilibrium in silica glasses having different thermal…
We have studied the temperature dependence of spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra of an electrically insulating, nearly stoichiometric YTiO_3 single crystal with ferromagnetic Curie temperature T_C = 30 K. The optical response exhibits a…
We present a detailed experimental study of a three-dimensional lin$\perp$lin bright optical lattice. Measurements of the atomic temperature and spatial diffusion coefficients are reported for different angles between the lattice beams,…
In this work recently produced and commercially available glazed ceramic object with metallic lustre decoration was studied by using a spectroscopic ellipsometer with rotating compensator. The thickness and metal content of the surface…
A far-infrared system measures the full complex Faraday angle, rotation as well as ellipticity, with an unprecedented accuracy of 10\,$\mu$rad/T. The system operates on several far-infrared laser lines in the spectral range from 0.3 to 6…
We propose a method for measuring the temperature of strongly correlated phases of ultracold atom gases confined in spin-dependent optical lattices. In this technique, a small number of "impurity" atoms--trapped in a state that does not…
We propose a method for measuring the temperature of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice potential from the intensity of the scattered light in the far-field diffraction pattern. We consider a single-component gas in a tightly-confined…
Calcium fluoride (fluorspar, CaF2 ) is of consummate importance for the manufacturing of optical components. In many cases, its wide transmission band eliminates the need for antireflective coatings. It is thus of interest to study its…
