Abstract: The disclosure relates to wavelength-controlled directivity of all-dielectric optical nanoantennas. One example embodiment is an optical nanoantenna for directionally scattering light in a visible or a near-infrared spectral range. The optical nanoantenna includes a substrate. The optical nanoantenna also includes an antenna structure disposed on the substrate. The antenna structure includes a dielectric material having a refractive index that is higher than a refractive index of the substrate and a refractive index of a surrounding medium. The antenna structure includes a structure having two distinct end portions. The antenna structure is asymmetric with respect to at least one mirror reflection in a plane that is orthogonal to a plane of the substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a light coupler, a photonic integrated circuit, and a method for manufacturing a light coupler. The light coupler is for optically coupling to an integrated waveguide and for out-coupling a light signal propagating in the integrated waveguide into free space. The light coupler includes a plurality of microstructures. The plurality of microstructures is adapted in shape and position to compensate decay of the light signal when propagating in the light coupler. The plurality of microstructures is also adapted in shape and position to provide a power distribution of the light signal when coupled into free space such that the power distribution corresponds to a predetermined target power distribution. Each of the microstructures forms an optical scattering center. The microstructures are positioned on the light coupler in accordance with a non-uniform number density distribution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for cell recognition. At least one embodiment relates to a method for recognizing cell. The method includes receiving an image of the cell. The method also includes performing edge detection on the image of the cell. Further, the method includes detecting ridges within the image of the cell. In addition, the method includes quantifying an internal complexity of the cell by gauging a contrast of the ridges with an average of a Laplacian on the detected ridges.

Abstract: A sensing system comprises at least one fluidic channel (104) for providing at least one analyte (105) into at least one region of interest; at least one radiation transport system (501), for providing excitation radiation (103) for exciting analytes traversing the at least one region of interest; and a radiation collection system (301) for collecting any radiation signal emitted from the at least one region of interest. The at least one radiation transport system is adapted for providing excitation radiation comprising a plurality of excitation radiation intensity peaks (101, 102), whereby the distance between the excitation radiation intensity peaks is known. The sensing system comprises means (302, 303) for measurement of the speed of the at least one analyte within the fluidic channel (104), the means for measurement of speed comprising timing means (303) for obtaining the time between maxima in radiation signals emitted by the at least one analyte.

Abstract: A plasmonic structure comprises a substrate and an electro conductor provided in or on the substrate. The electro conductor comprises a first part configured to provide a first series of plasmon resonance modes (for incident radiation of a first wavelength) and a second part configured to provide a second series of plasmon resonance modes (for incident radiation of a second wavelength). The first and second parts are functionally connected in a linkage region, wherein the electro conductor is shaped such as to form a capacitive gap. The electro conductor is further configured to direct radiation incident on the plasmonic structure of the first wavelength predominantly toward a first direction and to direct radiation incident on the plasmonic structure of the second wavelength predominantly toward a second direction, in which the first direction and the second direction are separated by an angle of at least 60°.
