Subwavelength imaging using a solid-immersion diffractive optical processor

Demetri Psaltis, Carlo Gigli, Niyazi Ulas Dinç, Yang Li

Phase imaging is widely used in biomedical imaging, sensing, and material characterization, among other fields. However, direct imaging of phase objects with subwavelength resolution remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate subwavelength imaging of phase ...

van der Waals Materials for Overcoming Fundamental Limitations in Photonic Integrated Circuitry

Arslan Mazitov

With the advance of on-chip nanophotonics, there is a high demand for high-refractive-index and low-loss materials. Currently, this technology is dominated by silicon, but van der Waals (vdW) materials with a high refractive index can offer a very advanced ...

Assessment of the hydromorphological effectiveness of sediment augmentation measures downstream of dams

Giovanni De Cesare

This article presents assessment methods for the hydromorphological effectiveness of sediment augmentation measures downstream of dams. First, we describe different ways of quantifying hydromorphological effectiveness based on typical objectives of sedimen ...

Glass-in-glass infiltration for 3D micro-optical composite components

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Bellouard, Jérôme Faist, Gözden Torun, Enrico Casamenti, Luciano Borasi, Mathieu Bertrand

Chalcogenide glass exhibits a wide transmission window in the infrared range, a high refractive index, and nonlinear optical properties; however, due to its poor mechanical properties and low chemical and environmental stability, producing three-dimensiona ...

Correction of spherical surface measurements by confocal microscopy

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Refractive microlenses are nowadays widely used in optical systems. Characterizing their surface is essential to ensure their quality and to optimize their fabrication process. This is realized by optical surface profilers thanks to their vertical resoluti ...

Optical characterization of high numerical aperture microlenses for quality assessment and fabrication process optimization

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Accurate characterization of high numerical aperture aspheric microlenses currently is a nonstandard procedure that remains an open challenge. Here, we present and discuss a characterization method based on interferometric and point spread function measure ...

Scanning PIV of turbulent flows over and through rough porous beds using refractive index matching

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

This paper presents image velocimetry measurements on turbulent flows adjacent to a permeable bed made of randomly packed glass particles. For measuring flow velocities inside the bed, the refractive index of the glass particles was matched with that of th ...

Improving 3D MA-TIRF Reconstruction with Deconvolution and Background Estimation

Emmanuel Emilien Louis Soubies, Sébastien Schaub

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF) produces 2D images of the fluorescent activity integrated over a very thin layer adjacent to the glass coverslip. By varying the illumination angle (multi-angle TIRF), a stack of 2D images is acquire ...

Reconstruction of image sequences from ungated and scanning-aberrated laser scanning microscopy images of the beating heart

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Olivia Mariani

Fluorescence laser-scanning microscopy is a well-established imaging technique in biology, available in many imaging facilities to investigate structures within live animal embryos such as zebrafish. Laser scanning microscopes (LSM) are limited when used t ...

Dielectric-sphere-based microsystem for optical super-resolution imaging

Gergely Huszka

Well-established imaging techniques proved that features below the diffraction limit can be observed optically using so-called super-resolution microscopies, which overcome Abbe's resolution limit. In traditional far-field microscopy, the introduction of f ...
