Design and Realization of Polymeric Waveguide/Microring Structures for Telecommunication Domain.

Polymer-based micro-optical components are very important for applications in optical communication. In this study, we theoretically investigated the coupling of polymeric waveguide and microring structures and experimentally demonstrated an efficient fabrication method to realize these structures on demand. First, the structures were designed and simulated using the FDTD method.

Effects of Supplemental Light Spectra on the Composition, Production and Antimicrobial Activity of L. Essential Oil.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of different supplemental light spectra and doses (duration and illuminance) on the essential oil of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivated in the net-house in Vietnam during four months. Ten samples of basil aerial parts were hydrodistilled to obtain essential oils which had the average yields from 0.

Microexternal cavity tapered lasers at 670 nm with 5 W peak power and nearly diffraction-limited beam quality.

Wavelength-stabilized compact laser systems at 670 nm on a micro-optical bench are presented. The resonator concept consists of a tapered semiconductor gain medium and a reflection Bragg grating as a wavelength selective resonator mirror. In pulse operation mode with 100 ns pulses, an optical peak power of 5 W with a spectral width below 150 pm was achieved.
