Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars
Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...
EPFL2023Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky
Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Rémy Elie Joseph, Johan Richard
Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a stellar explosion in a distant galaxy and observing it through a nearly perfe ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Structured light generation by refractive-diffractive micro optical array illuminators
Structured light generation having broad applications in different optical fields, is the topic of this thesis. Our structured light generation strategy is based on applying periodic microoptical elements at the refraction-diffraction limit, under a focuse ...
EPFL2021Deep Gaussian denoiser epistemic uncertainty and decoupled dual-attention fusion
Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Xiaoyu Lin, Xiaoqi Ma
Following the performance breakthrough of denoising networks, improvements have come chiefly through novel architecture designs and increased depth. While novel denoising networks were designed for real images coming from different distributions, or for sp ...
2021La phénoménotechnique questionnée par la médiation. L'exemple du showroom du Larsim.
The purpose of this article is to present a space of mediation developed by the astrophysicist Vincent Minier and the philosopher Vincent Bontems at the Commissariat à l’Énergie atomique et aux Énergies renouvelables. This room, called “showroom”, promotes ...
Presses universitaires du Midi2020Turning a normal microscope into a super-resolution instrument using a scanning microlens array
We report dielectric microsphere array-based optical super-resolution microscopy. A dielectric microsphere that is placed on a sample is known to generate a virtual image with resolution better than the optical diffraction limit. However, a limitation of s ...
2018Sparse Linear Inversion for Strong Gravitational Lenses Reconstruction, Component Separation from Morphological Component Analysis with Multiple Discrimination Criteria
Strong gravitational is a natural phenomenon that produces distorted images of distant galaxies due to massive galaxies or clusters, called deflectors or lenses, lying along the line of sight. Due to the mass of the deflector, and as a result of general re ...
EPFL2018A high sensitivity, low noise and high spatial resolution multi-band infrared reflectography camera for the study of paintings and works on paper
Background: Infrared reflectography (IRR) remains an important method to visualize underdrawing and compositional changes in paintings. Older IRR camera systems are being replaced with near-infrared cameras consisting of room temperature infrared detector ...
Biomed Central Ltd2017Super-Resolution Imaging of a Dielectric Microsphere Is Governed by the Waist of Its Photonic Nanojet
Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hui Yang, Gergely Huszka
Dielectric microspheres with appropriate refractive index can image objects with super-resolution, that is, with a precision well beyond the classical diffraction limit. A microsphere is also known to generate upon illumination a photonic nanojet, which is ...
American Chemical Society2016Determination of sub-diffraction-limited organelles and biomolecules using microsphere lenses in combination with fluorescence microscopy
Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Norman Lionel Moullan, Hui Yang
We propose the use of a high-refractive index glass microsphere in combination with a conventional fluorescence microscope for imaging sub-cellular organelles and biomolecules. The microsphere is placed on a sample that is immersed in water, collects the n ...
