We propose a polarization multiplexing structure based on multilayer reflective polarized
volume holographic gratings (PVGs) to improve the field of view and brightness of the …

Optical sensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the attenuated total
reflection (ATR) configuration in layered media have attracted considerable attention over …

The determination of optical constants (ie, real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive
index (nc) and thickness (d)) of ultrathin films is often required in photonics. It may be done …

Surface enhanced absorption is a plasmonic effect parenting to surface enhanced
fluorescence and Raman scattering, and it was clearly reported to occur in the infrared …

We employ two approaches to tune the properties of concurrently inscribed volume
polarization and surface relief gratings in nanocomposite thin films containing the …

Anisotropic small structures found throughout living nature have unique functionalities as
seen by Gecko lizards. Here, we present a simple yet programmable method for fabricating …

Materials containing photoactive molecules are of great importance in applications in
switching, data storage, holography, integrated optics, nonlinear optics, actuation, and light …

In this work, we study the imaging characteristics of an optical see-through display based on
a holographic waveguide. To fabricate this device, two transmission holograms are recorded …
