An MAE is a composite material consisting of μm-sized ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a soft elastomer (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane) matrix. In the act of rebounding, the ball hits an MAE surface and bounces back. The MAE samples contained 75 wt.\% of iron. This composite material is known to respond to an applied magnetic field with increased stiffness (due to the magnetorheological effect) and plasticity. To adjust the rebound properties, the top layer of the MAE material was additionally modified by micromachining lamellar structures with different dimensions on the 100 μm scale via laser ablation. Due to the resulting high aspect ratio, these surface structures were sensitive to the magnetic field direction. The lamellas could stand up straight or lay down flat. The rebound behavior was evaluated by using a custom build apparatus that facilitates dropping of the balls in a precise and repeatable manner. A ball was dropped from different heights. The ball trajectory was captured with a high-speed camera to investigate the rebound properties. The recorded video was processed using a custom software written in Python. The experimental procedure and data processing algorithms are presented in detail. The results for the samples with different geometrical dimensions are provided as examples. It is made evident that the magnetic field influences the rebound properties of small non-magnetic balls impinging microstructured MAE surfaces. The change in surface topography is an effective way to control the ball rebound. The fabrication flexibility in geometrical dimensions of surface microstructures opens a convenient way to tune the desired response to magnetic fields.

Due to the magnetic-field-induced plasticity effect, the grating persists on the MAE surface for at least 90 h if the magnetic field remains present. When the magnetic field is removed, the diffraction efficiency vanishes in a few minutes. The described effect is much more pronounced in MAE samples with larger content of iron filler (80 wt\%) than in the samples with lower content of iron filler (70 wt\%).

We propose a new approach to constructing the finite difference schemes of the BPM at the boundary of the computational window. These schemes are independent of the computed fields and allow for a similar treatment of both interior and boundary points. The new approach can be further improved by correcting the field values at the boundary points according to Hadley's method. The algorithm is easy to implement for both two- and three-dimensional structures. The new method considerably reduces computation times because the propagation matrices remain constant in longitudinally invariant sections, thus avoiding repeated LU-decompositions. The basic idea-establishing the finite difference scheme such that locally exact, approximate, or plausible solutions are recovered-may be of interest for other efforts to solve partial differential equations by the finite difference method.}, language = {en} } @article{ShamoninChamonineLohmeyerHertel, author = {Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Lohmeyer, Manfred and Hertel, Peter}, title = {Analysis of power-dependent switching between radiatively coupled planar waveguides}, series = {Journal of Lightwave Technology}, volume = {15}, journal = {Journal of Lightwave Technology}, number = {6}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, doi = {10.1109/50.588671}, pages = {983 -- 989}, abstract = {Effective coupling between two remote optical waveguides without branching sections can be achieved in a three-guide system with multimode central waveguide. We investigate the nonlinear power switching of c.w. laser radiation by such radiatively coupled waveguides. It is shown that effective all-optical switches with spatially well separated input/output channels can be realized although the influence of multimode interference on the switching characteristics becomes more pronounced for increasing thickness of the central guide. Different coupling regimes are specified, and the changes in switching characteristics during the transformation from one regime to another is studied. Numerical calculations for the critical power are compared with an approximate analytical expression. It is also shown that, at a moderate input power, a small number of modes determines the switching behavior.}, language = {en} } @article{LohmeyerShamoninChamonineBahlmannetal., author = {Lohmeyer, Manfred and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Bahlmann, N. and Hertel, Peter and Dotsch, H.}, title = {Radiatively Coupled Waveguide Concept for an Integrated Magneto-Optic Circulator}, series = {MRS Online Proceedings Library}, journal = {MRS Online Proceedings Library}, number = {517}, issn = {1946-4274}, doi = {10.1557/PROC-517-519}, pages = {519 -- 524}, abstract = {Three-guide couplers with multimode central waveguides allow for remote coupling between optical channels.
