Recently developed, highly effective technologies enabling slow light propagation as a tunable feature in photonic devices, are reviewed. Several applications in ICT are also demonstrated. Controlling the group velocity of light offers a broadband solution ...
We report on the full amplitude and phase characterization of high-intensity few-cycle laser pulses generated in a single-stage hollow core fiber system with subsequent compression by ultrabroadband chirped mirrors. We use a spatially-encoded arrangement ( ...
Dynamic diffraction gratings can be microfabricated with precision and offer extremely sensitive displacement measurements and light intensity modulation. The effect of pure translation of the moving part of the grating on diffracted order intensities is w ...
Highly confined light fields demonstrate peculiar phase features, e.g., Gouy phase anomaly. Longitudinal-differential phase measurements by a high-resolution interference microscope are applied to investigate phase evolutions of confined light fields for p ...
RATIONALE Similar to other mass spectrometric technologies based on ion trapping in a spatially restricted area, the performance of Orbitrap Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) is affected by the interaction between the trapped ion clouds. One of th ...
A mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure for estimating the storage and loss properties in sandwich structures with a soft core is developed The proposed method uses at the experimental level a precise measurement setup with an electro-dynam ...
The present invention discloses a method to improve the image resolution of a microscope. This improvement is based on the mathematical processing of the complex field computed from the measurements with a microscope of the wave emitted or scattered by the ...
We show that elastic waves can be excited at a fracture inside a transparent sample by focusing laser light directly onto this fracture. The associated displacement field, measured by a laser interferometer, has pronounced waves that are diffracted at the ...
As the focus of environmental policy and management shifts from cleaner production at the process level towards greener products as a whole, stakeholders ask for transparency throughout the entire value chain. This article assesses the comprehensiveness an ...
We present a technique for frequency-resolved wavefront characterization of high harmonics based on lateral shearing interferometry. Tilted replicas of the driving laser pulse are produced by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, producing separate focii in the t ...
