In this study the use of optical waveguide-based particle detection is examined using finite element method (FEM) based simulations. The simulation model assumes a silicon nitride strip waveguide and is built up in 3D using the Comsol Multiphysics platform. The waveguide geometry parameters were varied to identify suitable geometries for single-mode wave guidance of the fundamental quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. The geometries with their according effective wave indices are reported. Furthermore, the intensity and phase changes of the single-mode wave introduced by the presence of a particle are analyzed und the underlying physical effects are discussed for spherical particles of radii from 50 to 500 nm. The results show non-linear and non-monotonic behavior and give substantial input to understand basic particle interaction with waveguide structures. Furthermore, they provide helpful knowledge for designing waveguide-based particle detectors.","PeriodicalId":325279,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Applications of Optics and Photonics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126006250","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}

However, the luminescence quantum yield of biexciton states is relatively low due to the fast Auger non-radiative process. Plasmonic nanoparticles can significantly accelerate the radiative rate of QDs. In this study we demonstrate the distance-controlled enhancement of the biexciton emission of single CdSe/ZnS/CdS/ZnS QDs due to their coupling with gold nanorods. We explain this enhancement as the distancedependent trade-off between the energy transfer and the Purcell effect. Our findings constitute a reliable approach to managing the efficiency of multiphoton emission over a wide span of distances.","PeriodicalId":325279,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Applications of Optics and Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129069477","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}

One of the pioneering technology in detecting exoplanets is the technique of radial velocity (RV), that can be affected by uncorrected atmospheric dispersion. The current highest precision spectrographs are expected to deliver a precision of 10 cm/s (e.g., ESPRESSO). To minimize the atmospheric dispersion effect, an Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) can be employed. ADC designs are based on sky dispersion models that nonetheless give different results; these can reach a few tens of milli-arcseconds (mas) in the sky (a difference up to 40 mas); a value close to the current requirements (20 mas in the case of ESPRESSO). In this paper we describe tests done with ESPRESSO and HARPS to understand the influence of atmospheric dispersion and its correction on RV precision. We also present a comparison of different sky models, using EFOSC2 data (between 600nm and 700nm), that will be used to improve on the design of ADCs.","PeriodicalId":325279,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Applications of Optics and Photonics","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126986814","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}

Previously, off-the-shelf GaN LDs have been reported with a view on free space and underwater communications. However, there are applications where the ability to select a single emitted wavelength is highly desirable, namely in atomic clocks or in filtered free-space communications systems. To accomplish this, Distributed Feedback (DFB) geometries are utilised. Due to the complexity of overgrowth steps for buried gratings in III-Nitride material systems, GaN DFBs have a grating etched into the sidewall to ensure single mode operation, with wavelengths ranging from 405nm to 435nm achieved. The main motivation in developing these devices is for the cooling of strontium ions (Sr+ ) in atomic clock applications, but their feasibility for optical communications have also been investigated. Data transmission rates exceeding 1 Gbit/s have been observed in unfiltered systems, and work is currently ongoing to examine their viability for filtered communications. Ultimately, transmission through Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is desired, to ensure that data is communicated more coherently and efficiently. We present results on the characterisation of GaN DFBs, and demonstrate their capability for use in filtered optical communications systems.","PeriodicalId":325279,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Applications of Optics and Photonics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127808788","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}
