Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation

Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...

LenslessPiCam: A Hardware and Software Platform for Lensless Computational Imaging with a Raspberry Pi

Martin Vetterli, Eric Bezzam, Sepand Kashani, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Lensless imaging seeks to replace/remove the lens in a conventional imaging system. The earliest cameras were in fact lensless, relying on long exposure times to form images on the other end of a small aperture in a darkened room/container (camera obscura) ...

High speed, complex wavefront shaping using the digital micro-mirror device

Demetri Psaltis, Ahmed Ayoub

Digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) have been deployed in many optical applications. As compared to spatial light modulators (SLMs), they are characterized by their much faster refresh rates (full-frame refresh rates up to 32 kHz for binary patterns) compa ...

Performance and Micro-Vibrations in Magnetic Bearings for Space Actuators

Guzmán Borque Gallego

The development of new space missions with novel high-performance and very sensitive payloads for Earth observation or scientific missions has imposed considerably tougher requirements in terms of the satellite's pointing accuracy and stability, and thus o ...

Koehler integrator device and application thereof in a multi-focal confocal microscope

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Dora Mahecic

A Koehler integrator device (10) comprises a collimating lens (11) being arranged for collimating a light field created by an incoherent or partially coherent light source, a pair of planar first and second micro-lens arrays (12, 13) being arranged for rel ...

COSMOGRAIL: XIX. Time delays in 18 strongly lensed quasars from 15 years of optical monitoring star

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Malte Tewes, Vivien François Bonvin, Rémy Elie Joseph, Olga Tihhonova

We present the results of 15 years of monitoring lensed quasars, which was conducted by the COSMOGRAIL programme at the Leonhard Euler 1.2 m Swiss Telescope. The decade-long light curves of 23 lensed systems are presented for the first time. We complement ...

Moiré effects produced by superpositions of micro-lens arrays

Thomas Walger

Moiré effects result from the superimposition of repetitive structures. The beauty of these moirés comes from the fact that macroscopic shapes seem to appear from the superposition of layers containing microscopic patterns. In addition, the moirés are dyna ...

Field characterization of the negatively buoyant inflow of the Rhône River into Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Koen Blanckaert

River inflows have a major influence on lake and reservoir water quality through their input of momentum, heat, oxygen, sediment, nutrients and contaminants. The fate of these components is controlled by the hydrodynamic processes at the interface between ...

Inverse design and demonstration of high-performance wide-angle diffractive optical elements

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements are ultra-thin optical components required for constructing very compact optical 3D sensors. However, the required wide-angle diffractive 2D fan-out gratings have been elusive due to design challenges. Here, we introduce a new ...

Closed-Form Solution to Disambiguate Defocus Blur in Single-Perspective Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Marjan Shahpaski

Depth-from-defocus techniques suffer an ambiguity problem where depth planes on opposite sides of the focal plane have identical defocus. We solve the ambiguity by relying on the wavelength-dependent relationship between defocus and depth. We conduct a rob ...
