Optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) was used for the measurement of the local fiber Bragg grating (FBG) birefringence. The birefringence with resolution of 4 x 10(-6) was determined directly from oscillations in the OLCR amplitude with a spatial res ...
In this thesis work we avail ourselves of optical interferometric techniques for the study of the optical properties of nano-structured materials. As a first step, we set up a multiple heterodyne scanning probe optical microscope (MH-SPOM). This apparatus ...

A new far-infrared polarimeter diagnostic for the tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) is under construction at CRPP. It uses two FIR lasers at 432.5 mu m, optically pumped by a 120 W continuous wave CO2 laser. The two FIR cavities will be detuned such t ...
This paper describes a new model for predicting natural interior illumination in the urban context. A simplified radiosity algorithm is used to define the external luminous environment and this model structure is used to predict internal illumination from ...
Generation of optical delays with minor amplitude change are realized through the superposition of gain and loss profiles generated by stimulated Brillouin scattering. It results in synthesized spectral profiles identical to an ideal electromagnetically-in ...
We consider large sensor networks where the cost of collecting data from the network nodes to the data gathering sink is critical.~We propose several algorithms that use limited local communication and distributed signal processing to make communication mo ...
An integral approach to phase measurement is presented. First, the use of a high-resolution technique for the pixelwise detection of phase steps is proposed. Next, the robustness of the algorithm that is developed is improved by incorporation of a denoisin ...
A study of the optical properties of microfabricated, fully-metal-coated quartz probes collecting longitudinal and transverse optical fields is presented. The measurements are performed by raster scanning the focal plane of an objective, focusing azimuthal ...
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 ...
In this paper, the authors introduce multibit all-optical memory devices in nanostructured photonic-crystal circuits using only intrinsic nonresonant optical nonlinearities of semiconductors. Introduced devices can record incoming pulses at speeds of 10 Gb ...
