Compensation of thermal refraction effect in high-Q toroidal microresonator by polydimethylsiloxane coating
We experimentally and theoretically characterize the thermal refraction effect in a silica microtoroid and demonstrate that such effect can be reduced or even eliminated by applying a thin layer of po...

We have shown that a two-layer dielectric structure can give excellent beaming and enhanced transmission simultaneously of a Gaussian source. The front surface of the layer of dielectric rods supports surface states and the rear grading layer couples the surface states to radiation modes. By repeating periodically this two-layer structure, one can obtain excellent beaming and enhanced transmission for very long distances. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
