Graphene is a promising building block material for developing novel photonic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we report a comprehensive experimental study of chemical-vapor deposited (CVD) monolayer graphene’s optical properties on three different substrates for ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges (from 240 to 1000 nm). Importantly, our ellipsometric measurements are free from the assumptions of additional nanometer-thick layers of water or other media. This issue is critical for practical applications since otherwise, these additional layers must be included in the design models of various graphene photonic, plasmonic, and optoelectronic devices. We observe a slight difference (not exceeding 5%) in the optical constants of graphene on different substrates. Further, the optical constants reported here are very close to those of graphite, which hints on their applicability to multilayer graphene structures. This work provides reliable data on monolayer graphene’s optical properties, which should be useful for modeling and designing photonic devices with graphene.

The optical properties of silicon dioxide hollow particles with different size were investigated in UV/visible/near-IR region, as well as X-ray photoelectron spectra were analyzed. Synthesis of SiO2 hollow particles was carried out using a template method. It was established that hollow particle reflectance lower than bulk microparticles. Absorptance in the red and near infrared spectral ranges increases with decreasing size of hollow particles, but in the UV-region conversely. This is due to different absorption centers.

Integrated optical phased arrays can be used for beam shaping and steering with a small footprint, lightweight, high mechanical stability, low price, and high-yield, benefiting from the mature CMOS-compatible fabrication. This paper reviews the development of integrated optical phased arrays in recent years. The principles, building blocks, and configurations of integrated optical phased arrays for beam forming and steering are presented. Various material platforms can be used to build integrated optical phased arrays, e.g., silicon photonics platforms, III/V platforms, and III–V/silicon hybrid platforms. Integrated optical phased arrays can be implemented in the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectral ranges. The main performance parameters, such as field of view, beamwidth, sidelobe suppression, modulation speed, power consumption, scalability, and so on, are discussed in detail. Some of the typical applications of integrated optical phased arrays, such as free-space communication, light detection and ranging, imaging, and biological sensing, are shown, with future perspectives provided at the end.

AbstractThe electronic and optical properties of gold fullerenes are studied in the framework of the Hubbard model. The expressions of the Fourier transforms of anticommutator Green functions have been obtained for gold fullerenes Au_16 and Au_20, the poles of which determine the energy spectrum of the system under consideration. The calculations are performed for the thermodynamic means that characterize jumps of electrons from a nanosystem site to a neighboring site, the correlation functions demonstrating the possibility of existing two d electrons with oppositely oriented spin projections on the same site of the fullerenes consisting of gold atoms. The optical absorption spectra are presented. The optical absorption peaks of ions $${\text{Au}}_{{20}}^{ - }$$ and $${\text{Au}}_{{16}}^{ - }$$ correspond to a near-infrared spectral region, where the light absorption by blood or a soft tissue is vanishingly small; thus, these ions can be used as a new class of contrast improvements and phototherapeutic means for diagnostics and treatment of cancer.

AbstractThree-dimensional opal-silicon composites with both direct (a variable extent of filling of opal voids with silicon) and inverted structures have been synthesized. A structural analysis of these fabricated systems is performed. Reflectance spectra from the (111) surface of the composites are measured within the spectral range 400-900 nm. Observed spectral features are interpreted as a manifestation of the [111] direction photonic band gap that is tunable in position and width in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges.

The calcium terbium aluminate (CaTbAlO4) single crystal was grown by Czochralski method successfully for the first time.The structure of the crystal was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.The transmission spectrum of the crystal was measured at room temperature at the wavelength of 400-1500nm.The specific Faraday rotation of the single crystal was surveyed at room temperature at the wavelength 532nm, 633nm, and 1064nm respectively.The Verdet constants of the CaTbAlO4 crystal are calculated and the results show that the Verdet constants of CaTbAlO4 are around 110% higher than that of TGG in the visible and near-infrared spectral region.Therefore,crystal CaTbAlO4 can be promising material for the fabrication of magneto-optical devices in the visible region.

In this work, we propose a high-resolution optical system for Earth remote sensing, operating at 200-3300-nm wavelengths and providing a 4º field of view. Parameters of the system's structural elements are calculated and presented. Dot charts of the spots of confusion for the center, intermediate zones, and the edge of the field are considered. Over most of the operating wavelengths, the optical system is shown to be diffraction-limited, which provides attaining the highest possible spatial resolution. This system is considered as a tool for monitoring of the Earth's surface and collection of information in the ultra-violet, visible and near infrared spectral ranges (200-3300 nanometers).
