The perturbation of the lower hybrid wave (LH) power spectrum by fluctuations of the plasma in the vicinity of the antenna is investigated by solving the full wave equation in a slab geometry using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The numerical model whose generalit ...
Precision glass molding is a more cost efficient process for the large volume manufacturing of highly complex optical surfaces than direct manufacturing. Glassy carbon (GC) molds are used for precision glass molding, because they can be operated at tempera ...
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 ...
By means of experiment and simulation, we achieve unprecedented insights into the formation of Talbot images to be observed in transmission for light diffracted at wavelength-scale amplitude gratings. Emphasis is put on disclosing the impact and the interp ...
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 ...
A technique that allows direct optical imaging of nanostructures and determines quantitatively geometric nanofeatures beyond the classical diffraction limit by using high-refractive index glass microspheres is introduced. The glass microsphere is put on th ...
Based on a modified Huygens-Fresnel principle valid in the near field, we analytically verify the exponential wave decay of evanescent waves. This field decay along the propagation direction can be considered as the result of interference between elementar ...
To preserve the speed advantage of Fourier Domain detection in Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM), extended depth of field is needed. With a narrow probing volume that extends over a long axial range, tissue could be measured in vivo and at cellular resolu ...

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 ...
