The accurate measurement of the arrival time of a hard X-ray free electron laser (FEL) pulse with respect to a laser is of utmost importance for pump-probe experiments proposed or carried out at FEL facilities around the world. This manuscript presents the ...
We introduce and demonstrate a new interferometric method called longitudinal-differential (LD) interferometry, which measures the spatially resolved phase difference of the scattered field by an object relative to the illumination. This method is combined ...
We investigate two-photon-induced fluorescence for organic chromophores next to elongated gold disks which support plasmonic resonances. By polyelectrolyte coating, the dye is placed in a defined concentration at a defined distance from the surface. A fluo ...
We show that the public experiment held in Venice by Tamburini et al and reported in 2012 New J. Phys. 14 033001 can be regarded as a particular implementation of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communications and, therefore, has no advantages over e ...

The combined effect of dislocation source strength tau(s), dislocation obstacle strength tau(obs), and obstacle spacing L(obs) on the yield stress of single crystal metals is investigated analytically and numerically. A continuum theory of dislocation pile ...
A revisited realization of the Young's double slit experiment is introduced to directly probe the photonic mode symmetry by photoluminescence experiments. We experimentally measure the far field angular emission pattern of quantum dots embedded in photonic ...
The spatial representation of a visual scene in the early visual system is well known. The optics of the eye map the three-dimensional environment onto two-dimensional images on the retina. These retinotopic representations are preserved in the early visua ...
This thesis explores the properties of the transmission of light through subwavelength slits in metal films. Theoretical and experimental studies on the transmission through slits in metals are presented. In addition, the potential use of these slits for d ...
The physical-chemical properties of polymer films can be modified by embedding inorganic materials (e. g. inorganic nanoparticles) into the polymer matrix. Depending both on the material properties (e. g. nanoparticles concentration) and on the fabrication ...
When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as a whole, a phenomenon called slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along the axis of mot ...
