Konijnenberg, A.P. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)This book treats optics at the level of students in the later stage of their bachelor or the beginning of their master. It is assumed that the student is familiar with Maxwell’s equations. Although the book takes account of the fact that optics is part of electromagnetism, special emphasis is put on the usefulness of approximate models of optics...book 2024

Heemels, A.N.M. (author), de Koning, B. (author), Möller, M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author)We propose a method for optimizing the geometry of a freeform lens to redirect the light emitted from an extended source into a desired irradiance distribution. We utilize a gradient-based optimization approach with MITSUBA 3, an algorithmic differentiable non-sequential ray tracer that allows us to obtain the gradients of the freeform...journal article 2024

Rates, Alfredo (author), Lagendijk, Ad (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), IJzerman, Wilbert L. (author), Vos, Willem L. (author)Wavefront shaping is a technique to study and control light transport inside scattering media. Wavefront shaping is considered to be applicable to any complex material, yet in most previous studies, the only sample geometries that are studied are slabs or wave-guides. In this paper, we study how macroscopic changes in the sample shape affect...journal article 2023

Zhu, Z. (author), Zhang, Yu Quan (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Min, Changjun (author), Urbach, Paul (author), Yuan, Xiaocong (author)Stable optical trapping of gold nanoparticles is essential and desirable because of its wide applications in nanotechnology. While several factors have been proposed to affect optical trapping stability, the sample's volume fraction during optical trapping has often been neglected. To address this, by utilizing the effective medium theory, we...journal article 2023

Ji, W. (author), Chang, J. (author), Xu, He Xiu (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Groeblacher, S. (author), Urbach, Paul (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author)As a two-dimensional planar material with low depth profile, a metasurface can generate non-classical phase distributions for the transmitted and reflected electromagnetic waves at its interface. Thus, it offers more flexibility to control the wave front. A traditional metasurface design process mainly adopts the forward prediction algorithm,...review 2023

Heemels, A.N.M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)When redistributing the light emitted by a source into a prescribed irradiance distribution, it is not guaranteed that, given the source and optical constraints, the desired irradiance distribution can be achieved.We analyze the problem by assuming an optical black box that is shift-invariant, meaning that a change in source position does not...journal article 2023

de Koning, B. (author), Heemels, A.N.M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Möller, M. (author)Algorithmic differentiable ray tracing is a new paradigm that allows one to solve the forward problem of how light propagates through an optical system while obtaining gradients of the simulation results with respect to parameters specifying the optical system. Specifically, the use of algorithmically differentiable non-sequential ray tracing...journal article 2023

(author), Min, Changjun (author), Urbach, Paul (author), Yuan, Xiaocong (author)Nonlinear responses of nanoparticles induce enlightening phenomena in optical tweezers. With the gradual increase in optical intensity, effects from saturable absorption (SA) and reverse SA (RSA) arise in sequence and thereby modulate the nonlinear properties of materials. In current nonlinear optical traps, however, the underlying physical...journal article 2023

Siemons, M. E. (author), Hagenaar, M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Kohlhaas, R. (author)Recently a spectrometer concept has been invented which uses compressive sensing in combination with photonic crystal filters. Here we present an adaption of this concept in push-broom configuration for earth observation. This implementation allows for a compact design, while maintaining a high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise...conference paper 2023

(author)Imaging and transport light through scattering opaque media is a hot topic pursued in multiple fields, ranging from nanotechnology to life sciences. A promising technique to do this is wavefront shaping (WFS), where the light propagation through a scattering medium is controlled by interference [1] [2]. Recently, the potential of WFS was even...conference paper 2021

(author)Optical trapping of (sub)micron-sized particles is broadly employed in nanoscience and engineering. The materials commonly employed for these particles, however, have physical properties that limit the transfer of linear or angular momentum (or both). This reduces the magnitude of forces and torques, and the spatiotemporal resolution,...journal article 2019
