Phase calibration of a basic bright-field microscope for 3D metrology of transparent samples at the nanoscale

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Bingying Zhao

Optical retrieval of the structure of transparent objects at the nano-scale requires adapted methods capable of probing their interaction with suitable light. Scattering events, for instance, depend on the content and the arrangement of the medium encounte ...

Learning approaches to high-fidelity optical diffraction tomography

Joowon Lim

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) provides us 3D refractive index (RI) distributions of transparent samples. Since RI values differ across different materials, they serve as endogenous contrasts. It, therefore, enables us to image without pre-processing ...

Leveraging wafer-level manufacturing process limitations to increase large scale fused silica microlens array uniformity

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Jeremy Béguelin

The wafer-level production of Fused Silica microlens arrays is limited by systematic process non-uniformities. The common molten resist-reflow process with subsequent dry-etching allows for manufacturing of microlens arrays on 200 mm wafers. A thorough pro ...

Aberrations 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 ...

Multi-material micro-electromechanical fibers with bendable functional domains

Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Marco Volpi

The integration of increasingly complex functionalities within thermally drawn multi-material fibers is heralding a novel path towards advanced soft electronics and smart fabrics. Fibers capable of electronic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric or energy harves ...

Observation device with optical compensation

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, David Vincent Bonzon, David Forchelet, Steve Béguin

The invention concerns an observation device such as cell culture wells comprising an optical element such as a lens or a filter, or even combinations thereof, for compensating an optical effect induced on a sample contained in the observation device and i ...

Landmark Detection for Fusion of Fundus and MRI Toward a Patient-Specific Multimodal Eye Model

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Carlos Ciller

Ophthalmologists typically acquire different image modalities to diagnose eye pathologies. They comprise, e.g., Fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Yet, these images are often complem ...

Upconversion Particle as a Local Luminescent Brownian Probe: A Photonic Force Microscopy Study

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Flavio Maurizio Mor, Sylvia Jeney

Near-infrared (NIR) light sensitive lanthanide-doped NaYF4 upconversion particles (UCPs) are gaining increasing attention as local probes in biomedical applications. Here, we implemented a photonic force microscope (PFM) to manipulate and study the optical ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation on the misalignment tolerance of a micron-sized solid immersion lens tolerance of a micron-sized solid immersion lens

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We report an experimental and theoretical study on the alignment error tolerance of a 2 µm-size solid immersion lens (SIL) illuminated by different types of focused spots. Tightly confined focal spots are of great interest for improving the performance of ...

Multiple Phase Anomalies in Bessel Beam

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

The non-diverging feature of the Bessel-kind beam leads to multiple phase anomalies along the optical axis in contrary to the focused Gaussian beam. Here, we analyze the phase distributions using in a longitudinal-differential phase mode of a high-resoluti ...
