(author), Jung-Kubiak, Cecile (author), Chattopadhyay, Goutam (author)The development of a low focal number and low-mass lens antenna is presented that enables terahertz spectroscopy applications on ultracompact platforms. The antenna operates efficiently over a 20% fractional bandwidth, from 450 to 550 GHz, with a gain of 50 dBi at 500 GHz. The antenna consists of a hyperbolic silicon lens that is placed in a...journal article 2023

(author), Coronado, Eugenio (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)Nanomechanical spectroscopy (NMS) is a recently developed approach to determine optical absorption spectra of nanoscale materials via mechanical measurements. It is based on measuring changes in the resonance frequency of a membrane resonator vs. the photon energy of incoming light. This method is a direct measurement of absorption, which has...journal article 2023

Yasin, Saima (author), Shakeel, A. (author), Ahmad, Muqarrab (author), Ahmad, Aqeel (author), Iqbal, Tanveer (author)Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer having excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Exposure of this polymer to aliphatic and aromatic solvents can lead to degradation or swelling of the polymeric material.

(author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)We show the first experimental results which prove that superconducting NbTiN coplanar–waveguide resonators can achieve a loaded Q factor in excess of 800 in the 350 GHz band. These resonators can be used as narrow band pass filters for on-chip filter bank spectrometers for astronomy. Moreover, the low-loss coplanar waveguide technology provides...journal article 2016

Endo, A. (author)Since the birth of astrophysics, astronomers have been using free-space optics to analyze light falling on Earth. In the future however, thanks to the advances in photonics and nanoscience/nanotechnology, much of the manipulation of light might be carried out using not optics but confined waveguides, or circuits, on a chip. This new generation...journal article 2015

Ayerden, N.P. (author), Ghaderi, M. (author), De Graaf, G. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author)A set-up for optical gas composition measurement based on absorption spectroscopy is composed of a white light source, a gas cell and a spectrometer. The Fabry-Perot optical filter is suitable for miniaturization of this system, as it is composed of only two reflectors with a transparent layer in-between. Varying the width of this optical...journal article 2014

Broeken, J. (author), Rieger, B. (author), Stallinga, S. (author)We propose a method for simultaneously measuring the position and emission color of single fluorescent emitters based on the use of a large pitch diffraction grating in the emission light path. The grating produces satellite spots adjacent to the main spot; the relative distance between the spots is a measure for the emission wavelength. We...journal article 2014

Jansen, K. (author), Wu, M. (author), Van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), Van Soest, G. (author)Spectroscopic intravascular photoacoustic imaging (sIVPA) has shown promise to detect and distinguish lipids in atherosclerotic plaques. sIVPA generally utilizes one of the two high absorption bands in the lipid absorption spectrum at 1.2 ?m and 1.7 ?m. Specific absorption signatures of various lipid compounds within the bands in either...journal article 2014

(author), De Kleijn, D.P.V. (author), Van Soest, G. (author)The natural history of atherosclerosis is marked by changes in the lipid biochemistry in the diseased arterial wall. As lesions become more vulnerable, different cholesterol species accumulate in the plaque. Understanding unstable atherosclerosis as a pharmacological and interventional therapeutic target requires chemically specific imaging of...journal article 2014

Ramakrishnan, G. (author), Kumar, N. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author), Tanaka, D. (author), Kajikawa, K. (author)Emission of terahertz radiation is observed when surface plasmons are excited on a thin film of gold, in the Kretschmann geometry. When a hemicyanine-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer of thickness 1.2 nm is deposited on the gold film, stronger terahertz emission is observed. Our experimental results confirm that enhanced terahertz...journal article 2012

Percolation-enhanced generation of terahertz pulses by optical rectification on ultrathin gold filmsRamakrishnan, G. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author)Emission of pulses of electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz range is observed when ultrathin gold films on glass are illuminated with femtosecond near-IR laser pulses. A distinct maximum is observed in the emitted terahertz amplitude from films of average thickness just above the percolation threshold. Our measurements suggest that the...journal article 2011

Ramakrishnan, G. (author), Chakkittakandy, R. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author)Generation of subpicosecond terahertz pulses is observed when graphite surfaces are illuminated with femtosecond near-infrared laser pulses. The nonlinear optical generation of THz pulses from graphite is unexpected since, in principle, the material possesses a centre of inversion symmetry. Experiments with highly oriented pyrolytic graphite...journal article 2009

Chakkittakandy, R. (author), Corver, J.A.W.M. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author)We describe a simple terahertz (THz) time domain spectrometer with a bandwidth extending up to 7.5 THz. We show that by keeping the generation and detection crystals close to each other a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be achieved without using lock-in detection and dry nitrogen flushing. The observed spectra show very good agreement with...journal article 2008
