Tunable liquid microlens actuated by infrared light-responsive hydrogel
We report on liquid-based tunable microlenses actuated by infrared (IR) light. Multiple micropost structures, made of IR light-responsive hydrogel with entrapped gold nanoparticles, are photopatterned...

We demonstrate more than two orders of magnitude in enhancement of conversion of an ultrafast probe pulse to the third harmonic that is time delayed with respect to a pump pulse. The enhancement is observed in various atomic and molecular gases over a range of pressures. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
