We show that numerical aperture is one of the parameters that strongly affect the full width at half maximum and signal to noise ratio of the Doppler spectrum. The profile and intensity of the enhanced backscattering of the laser beam from a diffusive rough aluminum disk surface is measured using a range of lenses with different focal lengths and the results are incorporated into the Monte Carlo model.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123198449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A thermal vibration test was developed for accurately determining the modulus of nanowhiskers.

QD photoluminescence (PL) enhancement is achieved by placing a suitably orientated QD in the near-field of a resonant metallic nano-antenna. Through the careful design of an optical Vee-antenna, two distinct visible resonances can be obtained, enabling the polarization dependant enhancement of two different QD sources, thus producing a polarization-to-colour transformation at the nano-scale. Possible future applications include an optical nano-scale demultiplexer device.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131864393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
