We present experimental results for combined mode-multiplexed and wavelength multiplexed transmission over conventional graded-index multimode fibers. We use mode-selective photonic lanterns as mode couplers to precisely excite a subset of the modes of the multimode fiber and additionally to compensate for the differential group delay between the excited modes. Spatial mode filters are added to...

Lithium niobate crystals were grown in 3D through localized heating by femtosecond laser irradiation deep inside 35Li2O-35Nb2O5-30SiO2 glass. Laser scanning speed and power density were systematically varied to control the crystal growth process and determine the optimal conditions for the formation of single crystal lines. EBSD measurements showed that, in principle, single crystals can be gro...

Recently, a great deal of interest has been re-emerged on the possibility to manipulate surface waves, in particular, towards the THz and optical regime. Both concepts of Transformation Optics (TO) and metamaterials have been regarded as one of key enablers for such applications in applied electromagnetics. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time a dielectric surface wav...

We report novel design considerations for graded separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) cavities of oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Using a self-consistent effective-index method, we have analyzed ungraded, linearly and exponentially graded SCH cavities of an 850-nm VCSEL. An ungraded SCH gives the best optical-confinement factor, while linear and exponentia...

‎let $g$ be a group with identity $e.$ let $r$ be a $g$-graded‎ ‎commutative ring and $m$ a graded $r$-module‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we‎ ‎introduce several results concerning graded classical prime‎ ‎submodules‎. ‎for example‎, ‎we give a characterization of graded‎ ‎classical prime submodules‎. ‎also‎, ‎the relations between graded‎ ‎classical prime and graded prime submodules of $m$ are studied‎.‎

let  be a graded ring and  be a graded -module. we define a topology on graded prime spectrum  of the graded -module  which is analogous to that for , and investigate several properties of the topology.

We control the chain conformation of a semiconducting polymer by encapsulating it within the aligned nanopores of a silica host. The confinement leads to polarized, low-threshold amplified spontaneous emission from the polymer chains. The polymer enters the porous silica film from only one face and the filling of the pores is therefore graded. As a result, the profile of the index of refraction...

The optical response of graded index spherical particles is studied using an effective medium approach, where the homogenization of the graded particle is achieved by using a static effective dielectric function available in the literature. Full wave calculation using the standard Mie theory for this "homogenized system" shows that for a plasmonic particle, such an approximation can lead to hig...

Rigid endoscopes like graded-index (GRIN) lenses are known tools in biological imaging, but it is conceptually difficult to miniaturize them. In this letter, we demonstrate an ultra-thin rigid endoscope with a diameter of only 125 μm. In addition, we identify a domain where two-photon endoscopic imaging with fs-pulse excitation is possible. We validate the ultra-thin rigid endoscope consisting ...
