In situ monitoring of femtosecond laser-induced modifications in dielectrics

Over the last decades, the progress made in the generation of laser pulses shorter than a picosecond (10^-12 s) has allowed us to reach extreme optical power intensities exceeding 10^15 W cm^-2. This tremendous power has triggered an abundance of original ...

Third-harmonic generation monitoring of femtosecond-laser-induced in-volume functional modifications

Christian Enz, Yves Bellouard, Assim Boukhayma, Andrea Kraxner, Olivier Bernard

During the last two decades, ultrafast in-volume laser-based processing of transparent materials has emerged as a key 3D-printing method for manufacturing a variety of complex integrated photonic devices and micro-parts. Yet, identifying suitable laser pro ...

High-efficiency non-ablative UV laser nano-scale processing of fused silica by stable filamentation

Yves Bellouard, Olivier Bernard, Benedikt Hermann, Luca Muscarella

Over the last decades, three-dimensional micro-manufacturing of fused silica via near-infrared ultrafast laser exposure combined with an etching step has become an established technique for producing complex three-dimensional components. Here, we explore t ...

A sparse reconstruction framework for Fourier-based plane wave imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Olivier Bernard

Ultrafast imaging based on plane-wave (PW) insonification is an active area of research due to its capability of reaching high frame rates. Among PW imaging methods, Fourier-based approaches have demonstrated to be competitive compared to traditional delay ...

Sparse regularization methods in ultrafast ultrasound imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Olivier Bernard

Ultrafast ultrasound (US) imaging based on plane wave (PW) insonification is a widely used modality nowadays. Two main types of approaches have been proposed for image reconstruction either based on classical delay-and-sum (DAS) or on Fourier reconstructio ...

A compressed beamforming framework for ultrafast ultrasound imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Olivier Bernard

Classical beamforming methods, based on Delay- And-Sum (DAS) require an extensive number of samples and delay calculations to obtain high-quality images. Compressed Beamforming (CB) proposes an alternative to DAS, based on compressed sensing, which aims at ...

A sparse regularization approach for ultrafast ultrasound imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Olivier Bernard

Ultrafast imaging based on plane-wave (PW) in- sonification is an active area of research due to its capability of reaching high frame rates. Several approaches have been proposed either based on either of Fourier-domain reconstruction or on delay-and-sum ...

Extension of ultrasound Fourier slice Imaging theory to sectorial acquisition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Olivier Bernard

Ultrasound image reconstruction from the echoes received by an ultrasound probe after the transmission of diverging waves is an active area of research because of its capacity to insonify at ultra-high frame rate with large regions of interest using small ...

Variational B-Spline Level-Set: A Linear Filtering Approach for Fast Deformable Model Evolution

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, Olivier Bernard

In the field of image segmentation, most level-set-based active-contour approaches take advantage of a discrete representation of the associated implicit function. We present in this paper a different formulation where the implicit function is modeled as a ...
