System and method for projecting images through scattering media

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Babak Rahmani

The invention discloses a system (1) and method to guide light through a scattering medium (4) and project images on a screen (5) placed after the medium (4). Many of the shortcomings of previous approaches for guiding light through scattering medium (4) h ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Stefano Alberti, Timothy Goodman, Oulfa Chellaï, Ivo Furno, Fabio Riva, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Emanuele Poli

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Light Scattering Enhancement at the Absorption Edge in Dewetting Droplets of Cyanine Dyes

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

Diffraction properties of thin films of dewetted cyanine dye droplets are investigated and related to the complex refractive index. Strong changes in the index of refraction are often found near the absorption edge of organic dyes. Within a small window of ...

Looking for dark matter trails in colliding galaxy clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey

If dark matter interacts, even weakly, via non-gravitational forces, simulations predict that it will be preferentially scattered towards the trailing edge of the halo during collisions between galaxy clusters. This will temporarily create a non-symmetric ...

Optimal detection bandwidth for phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

The spectrum of the temporal traces obtained from a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer is theoretically and experimentally analysed, demonstrating its dependence on the incident optical pulse shape. Numerical simulations and theoretical resu ...

Coherent Rayleigh time domain reflectometry : novel applications for optical fibre sensing

Xin Lu

Owing to the advantages of the optical fibre, such as lightweight, small size, low cost and immunity to electromagnetic interferences, the fibre sensors have been applied in diverse fields and the scientific research on fibre sensing keeps improving to mee ...

Engineering of light confinement in strongly scattering disordered media

Laurent Balet, Massimo Gurioli

Disordered photonic materials can diffuse and localize light through random multiple scattering, offering opportunities to study mesoscopic phenomena, control light-matter interactions, and provide new strategies for photonic applications. Light transport ...

Optical microscopy for imaging through scattering media

Xin Yang

Optical microscopy has been widely used in the life sciences and biological research for several decades. It possesses many advantages over x-ray radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging, in terms of being low cos ...

Increasing the imaging capabilities of multimode fibers by exploiting the properties of highly scattering media

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Salma Farahi

We present a design that exploits the focusing properties of scattering media to increase the resolution and the working distance of multimode fiber (MMF)-based imaging devices. Placing a highly scattering medium in front of the distal tip of the MMF enabl ...

Imaging through turbid layers by scanning the phase conjugated second harmonic radiation from a nanoparticle

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Grégoire Pierre Jean Laporte

We demonstrate imaging through a turbid layer by using digital phase conjugation of the second harmonic field radiated from a beacon nanoparticle. We show that the phase-conjugated focus can be displaced from its initial position by illuminating the same r ...
