Item Open Access Tailored nanocomposites for 3D printed micro-optics(2020) Weber, Ksenia; Werdehausen, Daniel; König, Peter; Thiele, Simon; Schmid, Michael; Decker, Manuel; Oliveira, Peter William de; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, HaraldItem Open Access Mass-producible micro-optical elements by injection compression molding and focused ion beam structured titanium molding tools(2020) Ristok, Simon; Roeder, Marcel; Thiele, Simon; Hentschel, Mario; Guenther, Thomas; Zimmermann, André; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, HaraldItem Open Access Vibrational quenching of weakly bound cold molecular ions immersed in their parent gas(2020) Jachymski, Krzysztof; Meinert, FlorianHybrid ion–atom systems provide an excellent platform for studies of state-resolved quantum chemistry at low temperatures, where quantum effects may be prevalent. Here we study theoretically the process of vibrational relaxation of an initially weakly bound molecular ion due to collisions with the background gas atoms. We show that this inelastic process is governed by the universal long-range part of the interaction potential, which allows for using simplified model potentials applicable to multiple atomic species. The product distribution after the collision can be estimated by making use of the distorted wave Born approximation. We find that the inelastic collisions lead predominantly to small changes in the binding energy of the molecular ion.Item Open Access Generation of terahertz radiation via the transverse thermoelectric effect(2023) Yordanov, Petar; Priessnitz, Tim; Kim, Min‐Jae; Cristiani, Georg; Logvenov, Gennady; Keimer, Bernhard; Kaiser, StefanTerahertz (THz) radiation is a powerful tool with widespread applications ranging from imaging, sensing, and broadband communications to spectroscopy and nonlinear control of materials. Future progress in THz technology depends on the development of efficient, structurally simple THz emitters that can be implemented in advanced miniaturized devices. Here, it is shown how the natural electronic anisotropy of layered conducting transition metal oxides enables the generation of intense terahertz radiation via the transverse thermoelectric effect. In thin films grown on off‐cut substrates, femtosecond laser pulses generate ultrafast out‐of‐plane temperature gradients, which in turn launch in‐plane thermoelectric currents, thus allowing efficient emission of the resulting THz field out of the film structure. This scheme is demonstrated in experiments on thin films of the layered metals PdCoO2 and La1.84Sr0.16CuO4, and model calculations that elucidate the influence of the material parameters on the intensity and spectral characteristics of the emitted THz field are presented. Due to its simplicity, the method opens up a promising avenue for the development of highly versatile THz sources and integrable emitter elements.Item Open Access Effects of high-power laser radiation on polymers for 3D printing micro-optics(2023) Klein, Sebastian; Ruchka, Pavel; Klumpp, Thomas; Bartels, Nils; Steinle, Tobias; Giessen, HaraldItem Open Access Tailored optical functionality by combining electron‐beam and focused gold‐ion beam lithography for solid and inverse coupled plasmonic nanostructures(2020) Hentschel, Mario; Karst, Julian; Giessen, HaraldPlasmonics is a field uniquely driven by advances in micro‐ and nanofabrication. Many design ideas pose significant challenges in their experimental realization and test the limits of modern fabrication techniques. Here, the combination of electron‐beam and gold ion‐beam lithography is introduced as an alternative and highly versatile route for the fabrication of complex and high fidelity plasmonic nanostructures. The capability of this strategy is demonstrated on a selection of planar as well as 3D nanostructures. Large area and extremely accurate structures are presented with little to no defects and errors. These structures exhibit exceptional quality in shape fidelity and alignment precision. The combination of the two techniques makes full use of their complementary capabilities for the realization of complex plasmonic structures with superior optical properties and functionalities as well as ultra‐distinct spectral features which will find wide application in plasmonics, nanooptics, metasurfaces, plasmonic sensing, and similar areas.Item Open Access Towards fiber-coupled plasmonic perfect absorber superconducting nanowire photodetectors for the near- and mid-infrared(2023) Mennle, Sandra; Karl, Philipp; Ubl, Monika; Ruchka, Pavel; Weber, Ksenia; Hentschel, Mario; Flad, Philipp; Giessen, HaraldItem Open Access Stitching-free 3D printing of millimeter-sized highly transparent spherical and aspherical optical components(2020) Ristok, Simon; Thiele, Simon; Toulouse, Andrea; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, HaraldItem Open Access 3D direct laser writing of highly absorptive photoresist for miniature optical apertures(2022) Schmid, Michael D.; Toulouse, Andrea; Thiele, Simon; Mangold, Simon; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, HaraldThe importance of 3D direct laser writing as an enabling technology increased rapidly in recent years. Complex micro-optics and optical devices with various functionalities are now feasible. Different possibilities to increase the optical performance are demonstrated, for example, multi-lens objectives, a combination of different photoresists, or diffractive optical elements. It is still challenging to create fitting apertures for these micro optics. In this work, a novel and simple way to create 3D-printed opaque structures with a highly absorptive photoresist is introduced, which can be used to fabricate microscopic apertures increasing the contrast of 3D-printed micro optics and enabling new optical designs. Both hybrid printing by combining clear and opaque resists, as well as printing transparent optical elements and their surrounding opaque apertures solely from a single black resist by using different printing thicknesses are demonstrated.Item Open Access 3D stimulated Raman spectral imaging of water dynamics associated with pectin-glycocalyceal entanglement(2023) Floess, Moritz; Steinle, Tobias; Werner, Florian; Wang, Yunshan; Wagner, Willi Linus; Steinle, Verena; Liu, Betty; Zheng, Yifan; Chen, Zi; Ackermann, Maximilian; Mentzer, Steven J.; Giessen, Harald
