Polarization-sensitive optics diffraction tomography

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Amirhossein Saba Shirvan, Ahmed Ayoub

Polarization of light has been widely used as a contrast mechanism in two-dimensional (2D) microscopy and also in some three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities. In this paper, we report the 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index (RI) tensor ...

Long-distance distributed pressure sensing based on frequency-scanned phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang

In this paper, a long-distance distributed pressure sensing system based on a special fiber and using frequency-scanned phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry is proposed. The fiber shows high pressure sensitivity (159 MHz/bar) and low loss (3 d ...

Reciprocal Metasurfaces for On-axis Reflective Optical Computing

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Karim Achouri, Ali Momeni

Analog computing has emerged as a promising candidate for real-time and parallel continuous data processing. This paper presents a reciprocal way for realizing asymmetric optical transfer functions (OTFs) in the reflection side of the on-axis processing ch ...

A cryogenic electro-optic interconnect for superconducting devices

Tobias Kippenberg, Amir Youssefi, Anton Lukashchuk, Nathan Rafaël Bernier, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

A major challenge to the scalability of cryogenic computing platforms is the heat load associated with the growing number of electrical cable connections between the superconducting circuitry and the room-temperature environment. Compared with electrical c ...

Interplay of anomalous strain relaxation and minimization of polarization changes at nitride semiconductor heterointerfaces

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Yi Wang

We present a methodology to quantify polarization and electron affinity changes at interfaces by combining scanning tunneling spectroscopy, off-axis electron holography in transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and self-consistent calculations of the elec ...

Absolute Structure from Scanning Electron Microscopy

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

The absence of centrosymmetry in chiral and polar crystal structures is the reason for many technical relevant physical properties like optical birefringence or ferroelectricity. Other chirality related properties that are actually intensively investigated ...
