ON WAVEFRONT ABERRATIONS IN ASYMMETRIC AND MULTIPLE APERTURE OPTICAL SYSTEMS
The present work deals with monochromatic wavefront aberrations in optical systems without symmetries. The treatment begins with a class of systems characterized by misaligned spherical surfaces whose behavior is analyzed using the wavefront aberration exp ...
EPFL2021A Correlation-Based Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique to Locate Indoor Transient Radiation Sources
Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Qi Li
To overcome the multipath interference in locating transient electromagnetic (EM) radiation sources in an indoor environment, we propose a criterion that calculates the correlation between back-propagated signals from observation points, to be used in EM t ...
2021Lower Hybrid Current Drive in High Aspect Ratio Tokamaks
A multi-machine study has been carried out to investigate the impact of a strongly bounded wave propagation domain on the Lower Hybrid current drive, a condition which occurs principally in high aspect ratio tokamaks. In this regime, the condition of kinet ...
SPRINGER2020Scalar analytical expressions for the field dependence of Zernike polynomials in asymmetric optical systems with circular symmetric surfaces
Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso
In this paper we derive scalar analytical expressions describing the full field dependence of Zernike polynomials in optical systems without symmetries. We consider the general case of optical systems constituted by arbitrarily tilted and decentered circul ...
2020EU DEMO EC equatorial launcher pre-conceptual performance studies
Minh Quang Tran, Emanuele Poli
The preliminary conceptual design for the Electron Cyclotron (EC) system of the future European DEMOnstration fusion power plant is ongoing in the EUROfusion Consortium. This represents one of the key aspects in order to assess the performances and the int ...
2020Extraordinary wave dynamics in time-Floquet acoustic systems
Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Theodoros Koutserimpas
We discuss our recent research advances about wave control and manipulation using periodic temporalmodulation of a system’s properties. By using the unique properties of time-Floquet systems, we constructacoustic metamaterials with extreme effective proper ...
2019Microfabrication of curved sidewall grooves using scanning nanosecond excimer laser ablation
Patrik Willi Hoffmann, André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Georgios Violakis, Jing Gong
Novel glazing with embedded micro-mirrors can significantly reduce the energy consumption due to cooling and lighting in buildings. Especially promising are large arrays of periodic micro compound-parabolic-concentrators (CPCs) with angular-selected transm ...
SPIE2018Aberrations analysis of a Focused Plenoptic Camera
Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso
A Focused Plenoptic Camera in Galilean configuration is studied and its aberrations behavior is interpreted with the Nodal Aberration Theory (NAT). Sequential ray tracing is applied to individual optical channels constituted by the camera objective and ind ...
