Abstract

Polarization dependence of the exciton-plasmon-photon conversion in silver nanowire-quantum dots structure was investigated using a scanning confocal microscope system. We found that the fluorescence enhancement of the CdSe nanocrystals was correlated with the angle between the excitation light polarization and the silver nanowire direction. The polarization of the emission was also related with the nanowire direction. It was in majority in the direction parallel with nanowire.

Probing the Broken Spatial Symmetry of a Stratified Medium with Structured Light

We study theoretically near-symmetric resonant stratified media to show how a tiny broken spatial symmetry can effectively be probed by structured light with or without orbital angular momentum. This is achieved by examining both the in-plane and out of plane Goos-Hanchen and Imbert Fedorov shifts, respectively, in the reflected light, magnified by resonant enhancement and when needed with weak value amplification. We show that non-reciprocity in reflection for illumination from opposite ends can result in different shifts, even to the extent of shifts with opposite signs for tiny imbalance resulting from the broken symmetry. Our methodology is applicable to any general stratified medium with homogeneous and isotropic constituent layers being responsive to any entity that may cause such symmetry breaking - including temperature, refractive index, displacement etc. in the near symmetric case. This may have possible use for sensing applications.

Environmental qualification and performance of a CubeSat-scale dual optical frequency comb payload for space applications

We report the environmental qualification and performance of CombSat, a dual optical frequency comb payload designed for deployment on a 12U CubeSat in low Earth orbit. The payload integrates two self-referenced, 200 MHz hybrid fiber-waveguide frequency combs, a narrow-linewidth optical reference, a heterodyne beat detection unit, and FPGA-based control electronics in a total mass of 8.3 kg and volume of 5.7 L, and nominal power consumption of 21W. We describe the mechanical, thermal, and radiation-tolerant design features of the system and present the results of random vibration, storage temperature cycling, and thermal-vacuum testing conducted in accordance with NASA's General Environmental Verification Standard. We show that key comb performance metrics including oscillator and amplifier output power, frep, fCEO, and fopt signal-to-noise ratios, and integrated phase noise, remain within specification after environmental exposure, and we discuss observed failure modes and design modifications that improved robustness. These results demonstrate that compact, low power, fully stabilized, autonomous dual-comb systems can be engineered and qualified for spaceflight on CubeSat platforms, providing a path forward for future low-cost comb-based space applications.

On imaging capabilities of the Imaging and Medical beamline at the Australian Synchrotron

Several propagation-based and analyser-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging experiments with over 100 m between the imaged objects and the detector were carried out at the Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL) of the Australian Synchrotron. These experiments were aimed at characterization of possible phase-contrast imaging setups at IMBL. Effects of the beam divergence, polychromaticity and X-ray source size on the contrast and spatial resolution of images were evaluated quantitatively in different imaging scenarios. The results of this work will be used for improving the existing and developing new imaging capabilities at the beamline. Applications to X-ray phase-contrast tomography of biomedical samples, particularly for medical breast cancer imaging, are briefly discussed.
