This strict definition implies that scientific or technical demonstrations are necessary, however too often too soon published, claimed and most importantly seen as success. The true innovation needs partners not only with market know how, but with market presence, i.e. industry. Therefore it is vital to create innovation in networks covering necessary scientific depth for sustainable innovations and – more important – early stage involvement and commitment of market relevant partners. The Fraunhofer Model is designed to meet the demands of this challenging process. The presentation will focus on the systematics of that model, however in parallel always display actual real world applications and cases, e.g. high quality Diode Lasers, 400W-average power fs-lasers, ablation technology by ps-lasers, EUV-Sources for NG-Lithography, Individual Production by Laser SLM, Metal Deposition for jet engine repair, Laser Polishing, Laser Sorting of scrap metals or material analysis by LIBS. In all cases the entanglement of Fraunhofer-ILT with its partners can be identified as necessary and sufficient condition for success. Biographical Note Professor Poprawe holds a M.

The technology of diffractive optical elements (volume Bragg gratings, VBGs) recorded in a photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass was developed at CREOL/ The College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida and licensed to OptiGrate Corporation. These elements enable dramatic improvement of parameters of different types of lasers demonstrated by a number of different research groups. The use of reflecting Bragg gratings as output couplers in external resonators for semiconductor diodes, bars and stacks provided efficient spectral locking with efficiency which usually exceeds 95%. Bragg mirrors enable spectral narrowing of solid state lasers down to couple picometers. Experiments with wide stripe semiconductor lasers have shown that the use of VBGs with angular selectivity comparable with diffraction limited divergence of emitter provides amplification for a single mode only. Effective transverse mode selection in solid state lasers is also demonstrated. Coherent radiation from two and three laser diodes placed at separated stages was observed by phase locking with narrow-band VBG. Chirped Bragg gratings stretch and compress short laser pulses. It was shown that stretching and compression could be performed with efficiency of about 95% for pulse widths down to 200 fs and average power exceeding 100 W. VBGs were used for spectral combining of beams of Yb-doped fiber lasers. Efficiency of five-channel combining of 93% with divergence close to diffraction limit and total power of 750 W were demonstrated.

Industrial Affiliates Day 2009 5 Creating the Future of Optics and Photonics Invited Presentations A Hybrid Diode-gas Laser Approach to High Power & Brightness Invited Presentations Power Scaling of Tm: fiber Lasers to the kW Level Dr. William F. Krupke WFK Lasers, LLC Pleasanton, CA 94588 bkrupke@comcast.net Dr. Peter F. Moulton Q-Peak, Inc. 135 South Road, Bedford, MA 01730 moulton@qpeak.com Abstract Abstract The development of high power semiconductor laser diode pump sources during the past decade enabled a great increase in the efficiency, power, and compactness of solid state lasers (DPSSLs). DPSSL output powers have now been scaled well into the multi-kW regime with excellent beam quality. However, in these lasers waste heat in the static solid state gain must be removed by thermal conduction, resulting in thermo-optical distortions that limit the high brightness power scaling these lasers in a single (spatially) coherent aperture. To overcome this limitation, several years ago the concept of the hybrid diode-pumped-alkali-laser (DPAL) was proposed to retain the attractive efficiency and power scaling properties of high power pump semiconductor laser diodes, while replacing the static solid state gain medium with a gaseous (vapor) gain medium, recovering the feature of convective transport of waste heat out of the laser resonator. In this talk the basic quasi-two level DPAL laser scheme and its physical characteristics will be reviewed, the present state of DPAL R&D will be summarized, and architectures for power scaling will be described. The power scaling of fiber lasers to the multi-kW level is one of the more notable advances in laser technology in the past 5 years. Nearly all of the scaling work has been concentrated on Yb-doped silica fibers, operating in the wavelength range around 1070 nm. The severe retinal hazard from lasers in this region has motivated the search for power-scalable fiber lasers at “eyesafer” wavelengths beyond 1400 nm. Tm-doped silica fiber lasers, providing output around 2050 nm, are one of the more promising technologies. The energy-level properties of the Tm:silica material allow efficient laser operation with pumping by conventional, 795-nm, high-power diode lasers. In this talk, we described efforts at Q-Peak to better characterize the Tm:silica fiber laser and scale power output to the kW level and beyond. Our work to date includes basic spectroscopy, laboratory demonstrations of efficient lasers at powers nearing 1 kW and technology development of “all-glass” systems. We will discuss these results along with our latest advances. Biographical Note Bill received the PhD degree in Physics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1966.

Faculty Supervisor is underlined. All listed contributors are affiliated with The College of Optics & Photonics, unless otherwise noted. POSTER I Abstract The implementation of silicon photonics requires the development of a compact silicon-compatible light source. One of the possible routes for its realization is to use the emission from optical centers incorporated into silicon-based matrices and sensitized with dopants. It has long been thought that silicon nanocrystals can be used as efficient and dominant sensitizers of erbium in silicon-doped SiO2. In the current presentation it will be shown that the indirect excitation of erbium in this material does not require the presence of silicon nanocrystals. This conclusion clarifies a number of previously unexplained results and opens new opportunities in the field of silicon photonics. Biographical Note Oleksandr Savchyn received his M.S. in Optics from CREOL in 2007 and his Specialist degree (B.S. & M.S.) in Physics from the Lviv ‘Ivan Franko’ National University (Lviv, Ukraine) in 2002.

Padilha,1 Scott Webster1, David J. Hagan,1,2 Eric W. Van Stryland,1,2 and Edward H. Sargent3 1 CREOL: The College of Optics and Photonics, Univ. of Central Florida, 4000 Central Florida Blvd, Orlando, FL, 32826 2 Physics Department, Univ. of Central Florida, 4000 Central Florida Blvd, Orlando, FL, 32826 3 The Edward S Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Univ. of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5S3G4 gnootz@creol.ucf.edu Abstract Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), semiconductor particles with sizes small enough for effects due to quantum confinement of the electronic wave functions to be observed, have been investigated for several decades, but only recently have high-quality lead-salt QDs with narrow size distribution successfully been synthesized. Understanding the electronic structure and carrier dynamics is of fundamental importance for future applications of these mane made and highly customizable materials. In this work we investigate the carrier dynamics in PbS and PbSe QD’s, measured by femtosecond white-light-continuum transient-absorption, and two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra, measured by two-photon fluorescence and Z-scan. We identify different relaxation processes and measure their time constants. The buildup time of the 1S state population when electrons are excited to the 1P level in PbS QDs is measured and found to increase with increasing QD size. For the interband transition from the 1S level into the ground state Auger recombination is determined to be the dominant relaxation process in QDs when more than one exciton is generated. We show that symmetry breaking in QDs relaxes the selection rules for one and two-photon transitions. This is evident from linear absorption measurement where features in the one photon spectra appear where theoretical calculations predict two-photon allowed transitions. Similarly, features in the 2PA spectra are seen where one-photon transitions are measured and predicted.

Belfield, Belfield@mail.ucf.edu, 407-823-1028 Abstract A fluorescence readout, WORM optical data storage system has been previously reported by this group where protonation of a 2PA fluorene dyes in solution with 2PA photoacid generator (PAGs) were performed by both one and two-photon excitation of photosensitive polymer films. Commercially available photoacid generators (PAGs) were used in this work. We evaluate the versatility of this data storage system by modifying all of its three components. PAG photoacid efficiency, fluorescent dye versatility and polymer substrates were the elements that were modified. One of the 2PA WORM ODS systems proved to be resilient to overexposure. Furthermore, the inherent nonlinearity of 2PA components enabled a crosstalk free system in which the 3D character of the ODS was demonstrated. The advantages of two-photon writing and readout were clearly evidenced, affording a substantial storage density capacity (up to ca. 1011 bytes/cm3). J. W. Cleary*,1 R. E. Peale,1 W.

Soref2 1 University of Central Florida, 4000 Central Florida Blvd, Orlando, FL 32816 2 Air Force Research Labs / RYHC, 80 Scott Dr, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731 Point of contact: Justin Cleary, jcleary@physics.ucf.edu, 407-823-3076 Abstract Experimental investigation of the coupling of free space radiation to surface plasmons by silver or Pd2Si gratings was performed for different grating profiles at CO2 laser wavelengths. Comparison of the results with the theory of Hessel and Oliner 1965 and of Wheeler, Arakawa, and Ritchie 1976 suggests that the former gives the more accurate description in the long-wave IR. For that theory, the comparison gives an empirical non-linear relation between the physical depth of the grating grooves and the surface-impedance modulation amplitude. The Hessel-Oliner theory predicts stronger photonplasmon coupling for the higher impedance silicide, suggesting that these conductors may be preferable for silicon-based IR plasmonic devices. Shifts and broadening of the surface Plasmon resonances with increasing grating height are also reported and found to be weaker than similar effects observed previously at visible wavelengths. POSTER V POSTER III Broadband Wide-angle Reflective Polarization Converter Using Liquid Crystal Films Yan Li and Thomas X. Wu, Shin-Tson Wu *For information, contact: yanli@creol.ucf.edu, 407-823-6800; swu@creol.ucf.edu, 407-823-4763 Abstract We propose a broadband wide-incident-angle reflective polarization converter for light recycling inside a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. The polarization converter consists of a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal film, a uniaxial A-film and a reflector. The device configuration is optimized using genetic algorithm. As a result, our design can convert light from TM to TE polarization (or TE to TM) at a maximum 99.7%, minimum 91.3%, and average 96.7% conversion efficiency for the whole visible spectrum and incident angle from 0 to 60 degrees. Such a broadband reflective polarization converter is particularly useful in enhancing the light efficiency of LCD and reducing power consumption. 12 Industrial Affiliates Day 2009 Cubic Oxide Alloys for Deep-UV Applications J. W. Mares*, R. C. Boutwell, A. Schuerer, M. Falanga, and W. V. Schoenfeld *For information, contact: Jmares@creol.ucf.edu, 407-257-2123 Abstract In this work, the epitaxial growth and characterization of lattice-matched NinMg1-nO thin films on MgO bulk crystal is presented. Radio frequency oxygen plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy was exploited to produce films of varying nickel concentrations as measured by Rutherford Backscattering. Optical characterization was carried out using standard transmission spectrophotometry and indicates well behaved shifts in film bandgaps over the range Eg = 3.45eV to 4.75eV with decreasing Nickel. Atomic force microscopy revealed good surface morphological quality with root-mean square roughness ranging from 0.7 Å to approximately 25 Å. These results will be used in device development for deep-UV applications.

It relies on the nonlinear absorption process that occurs when a laser beam is tightly focused into the material and the intensity of the focused beam exeeds the threshold intensity of photo-structural modification. This method has been widely employed to various areas of photonic device fabrication such as active and passive waveguides, couplers, gratings, and diffractive optical elements (DOEs). DOEs are very attractive elements to replace bulky refractive optics to reduce device size for compactness. However, conventional fabrication methods such as lithography and holography cannot produce volumetric 3D structures because most glasses and polymers are opaque to the VUV illumination light source. Fabrication of volumetric 3D diffractive optical elements using femtosecond laser direct writing is attractive not only to enable 3D processes but also to bring many more advantages such as its simple production scheme, ease of changing patterns, clean production process etc. LPL has been heavily working on the fabrication of volumetric DOEs via femtosecond laser direct writing. We present DOE fabrication technique using laser direct writing as well as the characterization of laser-written DOEs by various techniques such as refractive index change measurement and diffraction efficiency measurement. We also propose new integration schemes of DOEs with other photonic devices that would impact on the fabrication of integrated photonic devices. POSTER VII E-beam Assisted Fabrication of an Aluminium Sub-wavelength Mesh for High Efficiency UV Photodetectors Clarisse Mazuir* and Winston V. Schoenfeld For information contact: e-mail: cmazuir@creol.ucf.edu Abstract Using e-beam lithography on a single layer of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) we designed a relatively thick subwavelength aluminum mesh on top of sapphire. The 100 nm thick mesh consisted of two perpendicularly oriented sets of 100 nm wide parallel metal lines with a center to center distance as low as 260 nm. This metallic structures were predicted to enhance transmission of light into UV sensitive GaN based photodetectors for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations. Due to the large proximity effect during e-beam exposure and the small spacing between metallic lines the use of an adhesion promoting layer appeared necessary to avoid premature peeling of the photoresist. Using a monoatomic layer of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as an adhesion promoter between the sapphire and the PMMA, a 500 nm thick photoresist layer could be exposed and developed with excellent control over the features sizes. Line spacing distances from 500 nm down to 160 nm were achieved. An oxide plasma etch was found to be necessary for a better metal lines adhesion during the lift-off process. Thermal evaporation of aluminum was performed and compared with e-beam evaporation. An additional ultrasonic bath in the resist stripper was found necessary to ease the lift-off process. 14 Industrial Affiliates Day 2009 Christopher G.

Previous studies have shown that atmosphere can be ionized along with plasma constituents resulting in a skewed interpretation of the data. This study makes a comparison of single shot LIBS emission of the molecular species from plasmas produced from organic thin film residues on a silicon substrate. It is important to understand the influence of the surrounding atmosphere on the spectrum of material that is largely comprised of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, and identify how the entrainment with air skews the results of the discrimination. The spectra were produced by either a 5 ns duration, 1064 nm/ 266 nm Nd:YAG laser, or a 40 2 (B2Σ – X Σ) in both air and aragon atmospheres. Principle component analysis (PCA), considered to be an fs, 800 nm Ti:Sapphire laser exploratory technique, was used in order to gain a better understanding of the selected variables. The variables of interest 2 2 were based on the atomic carbon and oxygen peaks as well as the diatomic species CN violet bands (B Σ – X Σ) and the 3 3 C2 Swan bands (d Πg – a Πu). PCA was used to identify similarities between the organic analytes via the emission spectra, and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves were then generated to measure the performance of the analysis and the influence of the atmosphere on the spectral signatures for the different laser regimes.

Melino2, Toufic G. Jabbour2, and Stephen M. Kuebler1,2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, 2CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics For information contact: kuebler@mail.ucf.edu, 407-823-3720 Abstract Multi-photon direct laser writing (DLW) is a powerful and versatile method for creating truly three-dimensional micro and nano-scale structures and devices. SU-8 is a negative tone photoresist designed for patterning at 365 nm, but exhibits sufficient multi-photon absorption at 800 nm which can be used for DLW. Being able to fabricate photonic structures into materials such as silicon is of particular interest for future applications in integrated photonics and optoelectronics, but complicates the DLW process further because the material is opaque near 800 nm. Here we demonstrate how DLW can be used to prepare photonic structures directly onto silicon substrates, and how sample preparation and exposure conditions, such as resin bake time and focus depth, affects feature size and structure fidelity.

It relies on the nonlinear absorption process that occurs when a laser beam is tightly focused into the material and the intensity of the focused beam exeeds the threshold intensity of photo-structural modification. This method has been widely employed to various areas of photonic device fabrication such as active and passive waveguides, couplers, gratings, and diffractive optical elements (DOEs). DOEs are very attractive elements to replace bulky refractive optics to reduce device size for compactness. However, conventional fabrication methods such as lithography and holography cannot produce volumetric 3D structures because most glasses and polymers are opaque to the VUV illumination light source. Fabrication of volumetric 3D diffractive optical elements using femtosecond laser direct writing is attractive not only to enable 3D processes but also to bring many more advantages such as its simple production scheme, ease of changing patterns, clean production process etc. LPL has been heavily working on the fabrication of volumetric DOEs via femtosecond laser direct writing.

POSTER XI Gate Voltage Tunable Plasmon Resonances in Two Dimensional Electron Gas in InGaAs/InP HEMT Himanshu Saxena*,1 R. E. Peale,1 and W. R. Buchwald2 1 Department of Physics, University of Central Florida, Orlando FL 32816 2 Air Force Research Lab, Sensors Directorate, Hanscom AFB MA 01731 Contact: hsaxena.ucf@gmail.com, 407-823-3076 Abstract We report voltage-tunable plasmon resonances in the two dimensional electron gas (2-deg) of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) fabricated from the InGaAs/InP materials system. The device was fabricated from a commercial HEMT wafer by depositing source and drain contacts using standard photolithography process and a semi-transparent gate contact that consisted of a 0.5 µm period transmission grating formed by electron-beam lithography. Narrow-band resonant absorption of THz radiation was observed in transmission in the frequency range 10 – 50 cm-1. The resonance frequency depends on the gate voltage-tuned sheet-charge density of the 2deg. The observed separation of resonance fundamental from its harmonics and their shift with gate bias follows theory, although the absolute frequencies are lower by about a factor of 2-3. 16 Industrial Affiliates Day 2009 Authors: Amitabh Ghoshal*, Pieter G. Kik * aghoshal@creol.ucf.edu, Phone: 407-823-6899 Abstract Surface plasmon excitation using a periodic array of metal nanoparticles near a metal film is studied via full-field simulations and experiments. Illumination of a nanoparticle array induces resonant electron oscillations in the nanoparticles. The resulting local electromagnetic field oscillations excite propagating surface plasmons in the nearby metal film. Simulations (using Finite Integration Technique) of an infinite array show the separate contributions of the particle resonances and the grating resonances towards excitation of surface plasmons. Tuning of the two resonances to match reveals strong inter-coupling and resulting anticrossing of the two resonances, and a reduced surface plasmon excitation strength at the predicted crossing of resonances.Electron-beam lithography was used to fabricate finite metal nanoparticle arrays above a metal film. Geometry dependent reflection measurements reveal the existence of several optical resonances. Strong coupling of the in-plane nanoparticle plasmon resonance and propagating plasmons is evident from clear anticrossing behavior. Reflection measurements at high numerical aperture demonstrate the excitation of surface plasmons via out-of plane particle polarization. The thus excited plasmons do not exhibit anticrossing in the considered frequency range. The results are explained in terms of the known surface plasmon dispersion relation and the anisotropic frequency dependent nanoparticle polarizability. These findings are important for applications utilizing surface-coupled nanoparticle plasmon resonances. POSTER XIII Guided Mode Resonance Filters as Stable Line-narrowing Feedback Elements for Thulium Fiber Lasers Robert A.

Townes Laser Institute, CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, 4000 Central Florida Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32816, USA 2. The Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 9201 University City Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA Corresponding Author: rasims@creol.ucf.edu Abstract Guided Mode Resonance Filters (GMRF) were used as external feedback elements for thulium fiber lasers in order to spectrally narrow and stabilize their output. GMRFs were fabricated with a diffractive array of holes etched into a top layer of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Deposition (PECVD) grown SiO2 on top of a PECVD grown waveguide layer of SixNy. Using this grating waveguide structure, externally propagating waves are coupled into the waveguide by phase matching diffracted orders with allowable modes of the waveguide. Due to index modulation on the surface of the waveguide, guided modes become leaky and recombine with the incident wave creating a resonance. Spectral reflectivity was characterized by placing GMRFs in the beam path of an amplified spontaneous emission source showing 0.4-1.0 nm FWHM with 30-50% reflectivity depending on properties of individual filters. Laser spectral output was stabilized at ~1985 nm with ~30 pm linewidths at ~20 W pump powers. Slope efficiency of a GMRF stabilized laser was 44% with a maximum of 5.8 W CW output.

OptoSigma Corporation 2001 Deere Ave. Santa Ana, CA 92705 949-851-5881 www.optosigma.com 24 Industrial Affiliates Day 2009 A Special Thank You to: Gary and Connie Washam It’s no surprise why Florida has become a top destination for high-tech industry and in particular for the photonics industry. In 1971, thanks to what Walt Disney termed “Imagineering,” Central Florida took its place on the high-tech map. Since then, with the growth of the hightech industry throughout the state, spawned by space programs at Cape Canaveral and establishment in 1987 of CREOL, the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers at the University of Central Florida, “the mouse” has taken on a whole new meaning. Inspired by Disney’s initial vision, the imagination and genius of the world’s leading research scientists and engineers have made Florida the hub for a wide range of industrial companies and venture capitalists from around the world and in nearly all application areas from energy to medicine to aerospace. On the Earth’s grid, Florida is a 3-D landmark for the photonics industry. CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, the Florida Photonics Cluster, several vigorous university incubators and regional economic development organizations, and a dynamic grouping of cutting-edge companies form a photonics hub focused on advancing Florida’s photonics industry. Business Friendly Climate Florida’s low taxes and smart growth policies have placed it among the top 5 “Best States for Starting a Business,” according to Fortune Small Business. Florida continues to rank among the top states for best tax climates for business, with no state income tax, low corporate taxes, a low unemployment insurance tax rate, and sales tax exemptions for certain business transactions. Excellent Quality of Life Florida continues its reign as one of the most desirable places to live in the US, second only to California in 2007 in a Harris Poll.
