    Electromagnetic or acoustic metamaterials can be described in terms of equivalent effective, in general anisotropic, media and several techniques exist to determine the effective permeability and permittivity (or effective mass density and bulk modulus in the context of acoustics). Among these techniques, retrieval methods use the measured reflection and transmission coefficients (or scattering coefficients) for waves incident on a metamaterial slab containing few unit cells. Until now, anisotropic effective slabs have been considered in the literature but they are limited to the case where one of the axes of anisotropy is aligned with the slab interface. We propose an extension to arbitrary orientations of the principal axes of anisotropy and oblique incidence. The retrieval method is illustrated in the electromagnetic case for layered media, and in the acoustic case for array of tilted elliptical particles.

    AlGaN-based vertical type high power ultraviolet-C light emitting diodes (UV-C LEDs), which have a Ga-face n-contact structure, were fabricated on a LED epilayer transferred to a carrier wafer through a laser lift-off (LLO) process. A significant light extraction enhancement of the vertical chip by using a highly reflective ITO/Al p-type electrode is demonstrated, along with surface roughening. A GaN-free LED epi structure is employed to prevent light absorption in the UV-C wavelength region. The vertical chip with the ITO/Al reflector and n-AlGaN surface roughening exhibited a high light output power of 104.4mW with a peak wavelength of 277.6nm at an injection current of 350mA. Comparing the device characteristics of the vertical chip and the flip chip showed that the light output power of the vertical chip was 1.31 times higher than that of the flip chip at 350mA. In particular, with the high power vertical type UV-C LED, a maximum light output power of 630mW could be achieved at a current of 3.5A, and this is mainly attributed to efficient heat dissipation through a metal substrate and the resulting relatively lower junction temperature of the vertical chip.

    Refractive-index (RI)-based sensing is a major optical sensing modality that can be implemented in various spectral ranges. While it has been widely used for sensing of biochemical liquids, RI-based gas sensing, particularly small-molecule gases, is challenging due to the extremely small RI change induced by gas concentration variations. We propose a RI-based ultracompact fiber-optic differential gas sensor that employs metal-organic-framework (MOF)-based dual Fabry-Perot (FP) nanocavities. A MOF is used as the FP cavity material to enhance the sensitivity as well as the selectivity to particular gas molecules. The differential sensing scheme leverages the opposite change in the cavity-length-dependent reflection of the two FP cavities, which further enhances the sensitivity compared with single FP cavity based sensing. For proof-of-concept, a fiber-optic CO2 sensor with ZIF-8-based dual FP nanocavities was fabricated. The effective footprint of the sensor was as small as 157 µm2 and the sensor showed an enhanced sensitivity of 48.5 mV/CO2Vol%, a dynamic range of 0-100 CO2Vol%, and a resolution of 0.019 CO2Vol% with 1 Hz low-pass filtering. Although the current sensor was only demonstrated for CO2 sensing, the proposed sensor concept can be used for sensing of a variety of gases when different kinds of MOFs are utilized.

    We report the characteristics of low-loss chalcogenide waveguides for sensing in the mid-infrared (MIR). The waveguides consisted of a Ge₁₁.₅As₂₄Se₆₄.₅ rib waveguide core with a 10nm fluoropolymer coating on a Ge₁₁.₅As₂₄S₆₄.₅ bottom cladding and were fabricated by thermal evaporation, photolithography and ICP plasma etching. Over most of the functional group band from 1500 to 4000 cm⁻¹ the losses were < 1 dB/cm with a minimum of 0.3 dB/cm at 2000 cm⁻¹. The basic capabilities of these waveguides for spectroscopy were demonstrated by measuring the absorption spectrum of soluble Prussian blue in Dimethyl Sulphoxide.
