We develop a single-layer waveguide surface grating structure to vertically couple near infrared (NIR) light at ~1.55 um wavelength from a large area (~100 um length scale) Si waveguide on a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrates to free-space for high-power laser applications. Our design approach is based on the optimization of local emission angles and the out-coupling intensities. Simulation results show that a focal spot with a 1/e2 width of 3.82 um can be achieved at the desired focal position, with 33% (-4.81 dB) simulated source to free-space focusing efficiency, while initial measurements show an efficiency of 22% (-6.58 dB).

MAGIX is a planned experiment that will be implemented at the upcoming accelerator MESA in Mainz. Due to its location in the energy-recovering lane of the accelerator beam-currents up to 1mA with a maximum energy of 105 MeV will be available for prec
ision experiments. MAGIX itself consists of a jet-target and two magnetic spectrometers. Inside the spectrometers GEM-based detectors will be used in the focal plane for track reconstruction. The design goals for the detector modules are a spatial resolution of 50 um, a size of 1.20 m x 0.3 m and a minimal material budget. To accomplish these goals we started developing several GEM-prototypes to study different behaviors and techniques to optimize the final detector design. The GEM foils used are provided by CERN and are trained, stretched and framed in our laboratory. The readout is done with an SRS based system. In this contribution the requirements, achievements and the ongoing developments are presented.
Inverse design of large-area metasurfaces can potentially exploit the full parameter space that such devices offer and achieve highly efficient multifunctional flat optical elements. However, since practically useful flat optics elements are large in
the linear dimension, an accurate simulation of their scattering properties is challenging. Here, we demonstrate a method to compute accurate simulations and gradients of large-area metasurfaces. Our approach relies on two key ingredients - a simulation distribution strategy that allows a linear reduction in the simulation time with number of compute (GPU) nodes and an efficient single-node computation using the Transition-matrix (T-matrix) method. We demonstrate ability to perform a distributed simulation of large-area, while accurately accounting for scatterer-scatterer interactions significantly beyond the locally periodic approximation, and efficiently compute gradients with respect to the metasurface design parameters. This scalable and accurate metasurface simulation method opens the door to gradient-based optimization of full large-area metasurfaces.
Neutron scattering techniques offer a unique combination of structural and the dynamic information of atomic and molecular systems over a wide range of distances and times. The increasing complexity in science investigations driven by technological a
dvances is reflected in the studies of neutron scattering science, which enforces a diversification and an improvement of experimental tools, from the instrument design to the detector performance. It calls as well for more advanced data analysis and modelling. The improvements in resolution, count rate and signal-to-background ratio, achievable with the new instrumentations, also drive the research of alternative technologies to replace the 3He-based detector technology unable to fulfil the requirement of increasing performance. Two solution have been studied: a boron-10-based gaseous detector, the Multi-Blade and a solid-state Si-Gd detector. Both solution are suitable alternatives for neutron detection, able to meet the demands of high performance. It has been shown not only the technical characteristic of the devices, but how the science can profit from the better performance of these new detector technologies in real experimental condition.
Two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides embedded in optical microcavities in the strong exciton-photon coupling regime may lead to promising applications in spin and valley addressable polaritonic logic gates and circuits. One
significant obstacle for their realization is the inherent lack of scalability associated with the mechanical exfoliation commonly used for fabrication of two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures. Chemical vapor deposition offers an alternative scalable fabrication method for both monolayer semiconductors and other two-dimensional materials, such as hexagonal boron nitride. Observation of the strong light-matter coupling in chemical vapor grown transition metal dichalcogenides has been demonstrated so far in a handful of experiments with monolayer molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide. Here we instead demonstrate the strong exciton-photon coupling in microcavities comprising large area transition metal dichalcogenide / hexagonal boron nitride heterostructures made from chemical vapor deposition grown molybdenum diselenide and tungsten diselenide encapsulated on one or both sides in continuous few-layer boron nitride films also grown by chemical vapor deposition. These transition metal dichalcogenide / hexagonal boron nitride heterostructures show high optical quality comparable with mechanically exfoliated samples, allowing operation in the strong coupling regime in a wide range of temperatures down to 4 Kelvin in tunable and monolithic microcavities, and demonstrating the possibility to successfully develop large area transition metal dichalcogenide based polariton devices.
We optimize multilayered anti-reflective coatings for photovoltaic devices, using modern evolutionary algorithms. We apply a rigorous methodology to show that a given structure, which is particularly regular, emerge spontaneously in a very systematic
al way for a very broad range of conditions. The very regularity of the structure allows for a thorough physical analysis of how the designs operate. This allows to understand that the central part is a photonic crystal utilized as a buffer for light, and that the external layers have the purpose of reducing the impedance mismatch between the outer media and the Bloch mode supported by the photonic crystal. This shows how optimization can suggest new design rules and be considered as a source of inspiration. Finally, we fabricate these structures with easily deployable techniques.
