Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Fundamental aspects of linear slow light systems

Luc Thévenaz

In a linear slow light system the delaying process is necessarily inducing distortion for fundamental reasons, strictly bounding the maximum delay-bandwidth product to unity. Slowing the light does not directly enhance light-matter interaction, but is a co ...

Fundamentals of Optics and Radiometry for Color Reproduction

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert, Patrick Emmel

Visual appearance of objects comes from the interpretation by the human visual system of a light signal issued from the objects. Describing or predicting appearance is therefore a question of light and requires notions about light propagation and measureme ...

Nano-optics gets practical

Hatice Altug

The advent of nanotechnology has allowed scientists to study light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. A considerable amount of fundamental knowledge has accumulated in the past two decades and the field of nano-optics may now in fact be on the cusp of d ...

Solid-gap wine-glass mode disks VB-FET resonators applied to biomass sensing

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Mariazel de la Candelas Maqueda López, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale

The working principle of an electromechanical resonator for mass sensing applications is based on monitoring the characteristic resonance frequency downshift due to the particles attachment on the surface of the device. Solid-Gap Vibrating-Body Field Effec ...

Visualizing Perceptual Dynamics in Architecture

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

When it comes to value how magnificent buildings are experienced, most designers believe that sunlight is essential. Although architecture is a technical discipline, it lacks a consensus about what quantity and what quality of light are required to make a ...
