Tunable nanowire nonlinear optical probe

Aleksandra Radenovic

One crucial challenge for subwavelength optics has been the development of a tunable source of coherent laser radiation for use in the physical, information and biological sciences that is stable at room temperature and physiological conditions. Current ad ...

Theory of resonantly enhanced near-field imaging

Demetri Psaltis

We investigate the fundamental issues of power transfer and far-field retrieval of subwavelength information in resonantly enhanced near-field imaging systems. It is found that high-quality resonance of the imaging system, such as that provided by dielectr ...

Shot noise, refractive index tomography and aberrations estimation in digital holographic microscopy

Florian Charrière

The present thesis develops some specific aspects of digital holographic microscopy (DHM), namely the effect of shot noise on the phase image accuracy, the use of DHM in micro-tomography and in aberrations evaluation of a microscope objective (MO). DHM is ...

Single molecule detection at surfaces

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Kai Hassler

Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy based on an evanescent field excitation scheme leads to an alternative concept for single molecule detection with interesting experimental features. This concept is described and analyzed regarding the total fluorescen ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (TIR-FCS) with low background and high count-rate per molecule

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Kai Hassler, Ramachandra Rao

We designed a fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) system for measurements on surfaces. The system consists of an objective-type total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy setup, adapted to measure FCS. Here, the fluorescence exciting ...

Application of CMOS image sensors in optical sectioning and polarization microscopy

Jelena Mitic

In this thesis new imaging approaches for optical microscopy are proposed and studied. They are based on the use of dynamic structured illumination in combination with a demodulation detection concept employing CMOS image detectors. Two particular implemen ...

High light field confinement for Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy using a Solid Immersion Lens

Theo Lasser, Denis Martin, Ramachandra Rao

In this paper we present recent single molecule detection experiment using a solid immersion lens (SIL) for fluorescent correlation spectroscopy measurements. We compared the performance of the SIL in combination with an air objective (40×, numerical apert ...

Phase equilibria of the decagonal AlCoNi phase

The phase equilibria of the ternary Al-AlCo-AlNi system were investigated around the decagonal phase. Isopleths with 70, 71.5 and 72.5 at.% Al and with 10 and 13 at.% Ni are elaborated with the aid of differential thermoanalysis, magnetothermal analysis, o ...

Optical microscopy in the nano-world

Olivier Martin, Abdeljalil Sayah, Mirjam Pfeiffer, Marc Jobin

Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is an optical microscopy whose resolution is not bound to the diffraction limit. It provides chemical information based upon spectral, polarization and/or fluorescence contrast images. Details as small as 20 nm ...
