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 ...
Illumination of nano- and micro-particles with a highly focused laser beam will exert a force on them that depends on different parameters, such as the particle size, refractive index and beam waist. In this paper rigorous diffraction theories are used to ...
We introduce a new concept for the fabrication of birefringent microlenses with high quality and give an overview of existing static birefringent microlens technology. It is shown that liquid crystal monomers and polymers can be used to fabricate high-qual ...
A volume hologram has two degenerate Bragg-phase-matching dimensions and provides the capability of volume holographic imaging. We demonstrate two volume holographic imaging architectures and investigate their imaging resolution, aberration, and sensitivit ...
Angle-dispersive radial X-ray diffraction measurements were conducted on alpha- and epsilon-Fe under nonhydrostatic stress conditions up to 30 GPa and 1000 K in laser heated diamond anvil cells. alpha-Fe (bee) is found to develop preferred orientation comp ...
An optically-active multi-layer dielectric structure comprises an optically active zone between two mirrors forming a Fabry-Perot microcavity. The optically active zone comprises an optically active material of wavelength lambda centred in a layer of high ...
We will present experimental and theoretical studies of optical fields with subwavelength structures, in particular phase singularities and coherent detection methods with nanometric resolution. An electromagnetic field is characterized by an amplitude, a ...
We use rigorous diffraction theory to analyze the force on elliptical cylinders made from silver as a function of the elongation. We find that, when the wires are illuminated at the plasmon wavelength and placed in a highly focused Gaussian beam, they are ...
In this thesis new imaging approaches for optical microscopy are proposed and studied. They are based on the use of dynamic structured illumination in combination with a demodulation detection concept employing CMOS image detectors. Two particular implemen ...
We report on a method called Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) for the numerical reconstruction of digital holograms taken with a microscope. It allows for simultaneous amplitude and quantitative phase contrast imaging. The reconstruction method compute ...
