Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric imaging technique that can provide depth resolved cross-sectional views of biological tissue. OCT employs light with low temporal and yet high spatial coherence. The sample is illuminated point by po ...
In this dissertation, we have developed the necessary basis for the characterization of the RF output of a gyrotron. The characterization includes the phase reconstruction and Gaussian beam mode decomposition. In order to analyze the phase reconstruction i ...
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 ...
This paper proposes a CMOS based process for Vertical Slit Field Effect Transistors. The central part of the device, namely, the vertical slit, is defined by using electron beam lithography and silicon dry etching. In order to verify the validity and the r ...
The integrated intensity of the diffracted beams present on microdiffraction precession patterns can be used to infer the 'ideal' symmetry, i.e. the symmetry which takes into account both the position and the intensity of the diffracted beams on a diffract ...
The progress in novel light sources, detectors, materials and technology enable new opportunities and challenges for diffractive optics and nanoscale photonics. Important are also analysis tools, such as near-field imaging (SNOM). Only structures that can ...
The diffraction patterns of fixed fluorophores are characteristic of the orientation of the molecules' underlying dipole. Fluorescence localization microscopy techniques such as PALM and STORM achieve super-resolution by sequentially imaging sparse subsets ...

There are many methods and instruments available for powder characterization and they are more or less well suited to powders in different size ranges. This report presents in more detail the relatively recent Centrifugal Particle Sizer (CPS) and its poten ...
High resolution amplitude and phase of light fields emerging from a 2-μm-period amplitude grating are measured for different wavelengths. The amplitude gratings lead to highly periodic patterns caused by the Talbot effect. Such patterns reach periodicities ...
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) resolves fluorescent features that are closer than the far-field optical diffraction limit by applying a spatially modulated light field keeping all but one of these features dark consecutively. For estimating the effic ...
