Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation

Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...

Searching for Strong Gravitational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we revie ...

LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

The ellipticity parameterization for an NFW profile: An overlooked angular structure in strong lens modeling

Frédéric Courbin

Galaxy-scale gravitational lenses are often modeled with two-component mass profiles where one component represents the stellar mass and the second is a Navarro Frenk White (NFW) profile representing the dark matter. Outside of the spherical case, the NFW ...

MaxwellNet: Physics-driven deep neural network training based on Maxwell's equations

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim

Maxwell's equations govern light propagation and its interaction with matter. Therefore, the solution of Maxwell's equations using computational electromagnetic simulations plays a critical role in understanding light-matter interaction and designing optic ...

SLITRONOMY: Towards a fully wavelet-based strong lensing inversion technique

Frédéric Courbin, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Austin Chandler Peel, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing provides a wealth of astrophysical information on the baryonic and dark matter content of galaxies. It also serves as a valuable cosmological probe by allowing us to measure the Hubble constant independently of other methods. T ...

Measuring accretion disk sizes of lensed quasars with microlensing time delay in multi-band light curves

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

Time-delay cosmography in strongly lensed quasars offers an independent way of measuring the Hubble constant, H-0. However, it has been proposed that the combination of microlensing and source-size effects, also known as microlensing time delay, can potent ...

Fixed-wing micro UAV open data with digicam and raw INS/GNSS

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Kenneth Joseph Paul

We have recently released in the open domain data originating from a series of flights conducted with a fixed-wing micro UAV carrying high-quality small camera and navigation sensors. This data was previously used in several peer-reviewed publications. How ...

Time-delay Cosmography with Strongly Lensed Quasars

Martin Raoul Robert Millon

The LCDM model has emerged as the concordance model of cosmology for its ability to explain a variety of observations, ranging from the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. However, with the ev ...

Koehler integrator device and application thereof in a multi-focal confocal microscope

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Dora Mahecic

A Koehler integrator device (10) comprises a collimating lens (11) being arranged for collimating a light field created by an incoherent or partially coherent light source, a pair of planar first and second micro-lens arrays (12, 13) being arranged for rel ...
