In this thesis, we describe a method for the numerical reconstruction of the complete wavefront properties from a single digital hologram: the amplitude, the phase and the polarization state. For this purpose, we present the principle of digital holographi ...
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. The clouding of the human eye lens is called "Grauer Star" in German. In the industrialized countries this process of increased blindness is corrected by the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its ...
We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...
Graded-Index (GRIN) lenses with a diameter of 125 μm are presented. This diameter enables the assembly of the GRIN lenses onto an optical micro-system using the same passive alignment grooves as used for the light carrying optical fibers. In contrast to re ...
PURPOSE. To present a novel and minimally invasive approach to intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring based on a sensing contact lens. METHODS. The key element of this measurement method is a soft contact lens with an embedded microfabricated strain gauge a ...
A new noninvasive approach for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement allowing continuous monitoring over prolonged periods, regardless of patient's position and activities. The key element of this measurement method is a soft contact lens (1) including at ...
In recent years, the development of soft and stretchable electronics and sensors has seen the wide use of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a convenient soft substrate on which such circuits are fabricated. When coupled with compliant electrodes, silicone mem ...
Transplantation of donor cornea is widely performed with a high success rate to treat patients with impaired corneal transparency. However the limited number of donors has led scientists to search for new technologies and treatments, including stem cell th ...
This paper describes a novel robotic assembly station, named Sixtiff, which has been conceived and realized at the Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. This station was developed in order td actively assemble micro-optical devices ...
