Pugnetti, S. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Fazio, R. (author)We analyze the properties of a mechanical resonator embedded into a quantum SQUID and analyze under which conditions it is possible to realize a resonant coupling between the SQUID and the resonator. We find, within the present technology, how it is possible to tune the system into the regime where the plasma frequency of the SQUID matches the...journal article 2010

Compact Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on self-collimation of light in a silicon photonic crystalNguyen, H.M. (author), Dundar, M.A. (author), Van der Heijden, R.W. (author), Van der Drift, E.W.J.M. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author), Rogge, S. (author), Caro, J. (author)We demonstrate a compact silicon photonic crystal Mach-Zehnder interferometer operating in the self-collimation regime. By tailoring the photonic band structure such as to produce self-collimated beams, it is possible to design beam splitters and mirrors and combine these to a 20 × 20 ?m2 format. With transmission spectroscopy we find a...journal article 2010

Chen, P. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author)The authors report the results of investigating two models for ion-beam-induced deposition (IBID). These models describe IBID in terms of the impact of secondary electrons and of sputtered atoms, respectively. The yields of deposition, sputtering, and secondary electron emission, as well as the energy spectra of the secondary electrons were...journal article 2009

(author)Helium ion microscopy is now a demonstrated practical technology that possesses the resolution and beam currents necessary to perform nanofabrication tasks, such as circuit edit applications. Due to helium’s electrical properties and sample interaction characteristics relative to gallium, it is likely that the properties and deposition...journal article 2009

Sidorkin, V.A. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author), Schmits, R. (author), Van der Drift, E. (author)A method for improving the aspect ratio of ultrahigh-resolution structures in negative electron-beam resist is provided for enhanced pattern-transfer capabilities. The essence of the proposed method is to form a protective “cap” on top of the resist structure by means of electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) in a self-aligned approach. This is...journal article 2009

(author)We demonstrate the phase locking of a 2.7 THz metal–metal waveguide quantum cascade laser (QCL) to an external microwave signal. The reference is the 15th harmonic, generated by a semiconductor superlattice nonlinear device, of a signal at 182 GHz, which itself is generated by a multiplier chain (x12) from a microwave synthesizer at ~15 GHz....journal article 2009

(author)We measured the single-photon detection efficiency of NbN superconducting single-photon detectors as a function of the polarization state of the incident light for different wavelengths in the range from 488 nm to 1550 nm. The polarization contrast varies from ?5% at 488 nm to ?30% at 1550 nm, in good agreement with numerical calculations. We...journal article 2009

Chen, P. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author)Ion-beam-induced deposition (IBID) is a powerful technique for prototyping three-dimensional nanostructures. To study its capability for this purpose, the authors investigate the proximity effect in IBID of nanopillars. In particular, the changes in shape and dimension of pillars are studied when a second pillar is grown near an existing pillar....journal article 2009

(author)We report polarization tomography experiments on metallic nanohole arrays with square and hexagonal symmetry. As a main result we find that a fully polarized input beam is partly depolarized after transmission through a nanohole array. This loss of polarization coherence is found to be anisotropic; i.e., it depends on the polarization state of...journal article 2005
