TL;DR: In this paper, the amplification and subsequent recompression of optical chirped pulses were demonstrated using a system which produces 1.06 μm laser pulses with pulse widths of 2 ps and energies at the millijoule level.
Abstract: We have demonstrated the amplification and subsequent recompression of optical chirped pulses. A system which produces 1.06 μm laser pulses with pulse widths of 2 ps and energies at the millijoule level is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmon excitation in pairs of identical Au nanoparticles by optical transmission spectroscopy was studied and it was shown that with decreasing interparticle distance the surface plasm resonance shifts to longer wavelengths for a polarization direction parallel to the long particle pair axis whereas a blueshift is found for the orthogonal polarization.
Abstract: We study surface plasmon excitation in pairs of identical Au nanoparticles by optical transmission spectroscopy. The samples produced by electron beam lithography consist of 2D particle arrangements with varying interparticle distance. With decreasing interparticle distance the surface plasmon resonance shifts to longer wavelengths for a polarization direction parallel to the long particle pair axis whereas a blueshift is found for the orthogonal polarization. These experimental findings can be explained by a dipolar interaction mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe methods for creating large numbers of high-quality optical traps in arbitrary three-dimensional configurations and for dynamically reconfiguring them under computer control, allowing for mixed arrays of traps based on different modes of light, including optical vortices, axial line traps, optical bottles and optical rotators.
Abstract: Optical trapping is an increasingly important technique for controlling and probing matter at length scales ranging from nanometers to millimeters. This paper describes methods for creating large numbers of high-quality optical traps in arbitrary three-dimensional configurations and for dynamically reconfiguring them under computer control. In addition to forming conventional optical tweezers, these methods also can sculpt the wavefront of each trap individually, allowing for mixed arrays of traps based on different modes of light, including optical vortices, axial line traps, optical bottles and optical rotators. The ability to establish large numbers of individually structured optical traps and to move them independently in three dimensions promises exciting new opportunities for research, engineering, diagnostics, and manufacturing at mesoscopic lengthscales.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spiral phaseplate can convert a TEM00 laser beam into a helical wavefront beam with a phase singularity at its axis, and the diffractive-optical effect of the spiral phase plate is implemented by index matching a macroscopic structure in an optical immersion.
Abstract: We demonstrate experimentally that a spiral phaseplate can convert a TEM00 laser beam into a helical-wavefront beam with a phase singularity at its axis. The diffractive-optical effect of the spiral phaseplate is implemented by index matching a macroscopic structure in an optical immersion. We discuss the optical properties of a helical wavefront beam produced this way by means of a mode analysis and by Fraunhofer diffraction calculations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffraction tomography theorem is adapted to one-dimensional length measurement and the resulting spectral interferometry technique is described and the first length measurements using this technique on a model eye and on a human eye in vivo are presented.
