Selective multi-gas detection is often based on spectroscopic methods in the infrared region. The resulting setup consists of a spectrometer and the probing setup where often the spectrometer makes the sensing device large and heavy and does not allow easy ...
The main topic of this thesis is the fabrication and characterization of structures smaller than the wavelength of light, for operation in the visible or near infrared spectral range. In the first part of this thesis, the fabrication of periodic structures ...
The mid-infrared part of the optical spectrum is of high interest in a wide range of applications such as environmental gas monitoring, contaminant detection in the chemical, food or pharmaceutical industry, medical diagnosis, or defense and security. Rele ...
Atmospheric aerosols are one of the least understood components of the climate system and incur adverse health effects on susceptible populations. Organic aerosols can make up as much as 80% of atmospheric aerosols (Lim and Turpin
Retrieving the water-leaving reflectance from airborne hyperspectral data implies to deal with three steps. Firstly, the radiance recorded by an airborne sensor comes from several sources: the real radiance of the object, the atmospheric scattering, sky an ...
We present a large robust sample of 1503 reliable and unconfused 70 mu m selected sources from the multiwavelength data set of the Cosmic Evolution Survey. Using the Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry, we estimate the total infrared (IR) luminosity, L-IR (8- ...
The infrared absorption spectra of jennite, tobermorite 14 angstrom, anomalous tobermorite 11 angstrom, and normal tobermorite 11 angstrom are simulated within a density-functional-theory scheme. The atomic coordinates and the cell parameters are optimized ...
The research proposal describes the spectroscopic technique to study the intermediate state of protonated peptides formed after the UV excitation. It was shown previously that with the assistance of the CO2 laser the side chain loss fragmentation was enhan ...
Laser frequency combs are coherent light sources that emit a broad spectrum of discrete, evenly spaced narrow lines whose absolute frequency can be measured to within the accuracy of an atomic clock. Their development in the near-infrared and visible domai ...
We present a method to automatically detect shadows in a fast and accurate manner by employing the inherent sensitivity of digital camera sensors to the near-infrared (NIR) part of the spectrum. Shadows are generally found in the dark parts of an image, be ...
