Frequency doubling with a free-running long-pulse Nd:YAG laser and LBO or KTP nonlinear crystals yields conversion efficiency of up to 17.5% and 162 W peak power in the second harmonic. This efficiency is obtained for a TEM00 beam with rectangular temporal ...
Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is a high speed imaging technique with high axial resolution in the micro-meter-scale range combined with a high sensitivity allowing to probe 3D volumes of weakly back- scattering biological tissues in-v ...
Abstract—In this paper, a model is proposed to analyze the influence of timing imperfections on ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) time-hopping spread-spectrum (TH-SS) signaling schemes, where N pulses are coherently added to increase the received signal-tonoise r ...
We present an experimental and theoretical study of sum-frequency generation of two infrared photons and one visible photon in a lithium iodate crystal. The sum-frequency light can be generated directly in a third-order process as well as in two subsequent ...
The sensitivity of RF CMOS receivers using a direct conversion or a low-IF architecture is strongly affected by flicker noise. This paper gives theoretical guidelines to predict the flicker noise in Gilbert-cell mixers. The conversion gain, the equivalent ...
Mixing liquids at the micro-scale is difficult because the low Reynolds numbers in microchannels and in microreactors prohibit the use of conventional mixing techniques based on mechanical actuators and induce turbulence. Static mixers can be used to solve ...
Industrial laser precision machining is predominately based on pulsed Nd:YAG lasers operated at a wavelength of 1.06 µm in a free running pulse regime. The objective of this thesis work has been to investigate second and third harmonic generation for such ...
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique with high axial resolution in the micro-meter-scale range combined with a high sensitivity allowing for example to probe weakly back-scattering structures beneath the surface of biological tissues ...
The inventive method for measuring the optical properties of transparent and/or diffusive objects (18), especially their reflection profile, uses two coupled interferometers. Said coupled interferometers are operated with two beams of different coherence l ...
We present a new framework for processing point-sampled objects using spectral methods. By establishing a concept of local frequencies on geometry, we introduce a versatile spectral representation that provides a rich repository of signal processing algori ...
