We experimentally show the spectrally averaged nonlinear refractive index and absorption coefficient for liquid water, water vapor, {\alpha}-pinene, and Si using a full-phase analysis in the terahertz regime through a standard time-domain…
PASCO scientific 012-05187C Precision Interferometer is used in Michelson mode to investigate wavelengths and refractive indices. From varying the distance of the movable mirror in the Michelson setup the wavelength of the HeNe laser beam…
We report on tuning the optical whispering gallery modes in a poly dimethyl siloxane-based (PDMS) microsphere resonator by more than a THz. The PDMS microsphere system consists of a solid spherical resonator directly formed with double…
We demonstrate ultrasound detection with 500-$\mu\mathrm{{m}}$-diameter photonic-crystal slab (PCS) sensors fabricated from CMOS-compatible technology. An ultrasound signal impinging a PCS sensor causes a local modulation of the refractive…
We present an experimental observation on particles adsorbed to a whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical resonator produced from a glass sphere of about 100 micro meter in radius. For spherical adsorbates of radius about 100 nm, we find a…
In this paper, we report a capillary-based M-Z interferometer that could be used for precise detection of variations in refractive indices of gaseous samples. This sensing mechanism is quite straightforward. Cladding and core modes of a…
We theoretically demonstrate a high-sensitivity, graphene-plasmon based refractive index sensor working in the mid-infrared at room temperature. The bulk figure of merit of our sensor reaches values above $10$, but the key aspect of our…
For the investigation of two-component aerosols one needs to know the refractive indices of the two aerosol components. One problem is that they depend on temparature and pressure, so one needs for their determination a robust measurement…
In this paper, we report on theoretical investigation of the effect of refractive index of immersion oil on the position of optimal depth and optical trap quality in optical tweezers. Using simple numerical calculation presented here, one…
Portable and cost-effective gas sensors are gaining demand for a number of environmental, biomedical and industrial applications, yet current devices are confined into specialized labs and cannot be extended to general use. Here, we…
Dynamically tunable terahertz (THz) photonics requires low-loss dielectric platforms with practical, continuous control of refractive index. Here we present a mechanically reconfigurable THz photonic material platform: a monolithic,…
Optical fibres constitute an exceptional sensing platform. However, standard fibres present an inherent sensing challenge: they confine light by design to an inner core. Consequently, nearly all distributed fibre sensors are restricted to…
The previous research proves that the random laser emission reflects not only the scattering properties but also the absorption properties. The random laser is therefore considered a potential tool for optical properties sensing. Although…
In this Letter we present a Fresnel lens fabricated on the end of an optical fiber. The lens is fabricated using nanoimprint lithography of a functional high refractive index material, which is suitable for mass production. The main…
We present a metamaterial-based terahertz (THz) sensor for thickness measurements of subwavelength-thin materials and refractometry of liquids and liquid mixtures. The sensor operates in reflection geometry and exploits the frequency shift…
We have developed a white light interferometric microscope (WLIM), which can spatially resolve the change in the complex index of refraction and apply it to study reversible photodegradation of 1,4-Diamino-9,10-anthraquinone doped into…
Photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based plasmonic sensors have gained considerable attention because of their highly sensitive performance and broad range of sensing regimes. In this work, a relatively simple ultra-sensitive PCF-based surface…
Two methods of refractometry in reflected light from optical surface of samples are considered and studied experimentally. Methods are grounded on results of Fresnel theory of concerning light reflectivity at near normal incidence and…
In this work, we discuss the way in which electric and magnetic dipole resonances arising in the optical scattering spectrum of non-absorbing dielectric nanospheres can be accurately approximated by means of simple explicit expressions that…
We describe here how to apply the three dimensional imaging technique of refrecative index matched scanning to hydrogel spheres. Hydrogels are water based materials with a low refractive index, which allows for index matching with…
