Quantum radio astronomy: Data encodings and quantum image processing

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Stefano Corda

We explore applications of quantum computing for radio interferometry and astronomy using recent developments in quantum image processing. We evaluate the suitability of different quantum image representations using a toy quantum computing image reconstruc ...

Probing unconventional performance of fiber resonators: light storage, generation and manipulation

Ivan Cardea

This thesis aims at investigating the performance of figure-9 (figure-of-nine) optical fiber resonators as a practical solution for light storage, light generation and manipulation. The first part of the thesis focuses on a theoretical and experimental stu ...

High-resolution interference microscopy of binary phase diffractive optical elements

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work, we apply the high-resolution interference microscopy technique to investigate the intensity and phase of light transmitted through a binary phase element. Using a combination of simulation and experimental results, we identify specific featur ...

Phase resolved characterization of nanoscale features in optical microstructures

Michail Symeonidis

In this study, we apply interferometric microscopy to study the phase, alongside the intensity, of the light field transmitted through a wide variety of samples. Additionally, we conduct those interferometric measurements at different wavelengths within th ...

Phase Anomalies in Micro-Optics

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We present a comprehensive review on the latest research activities that explore the Gouy phase and indicate the recent experimental progresses for its observations in studies that rely on a longitudinal-differential interferometer. The latter is a far-fie ...

The two-dimensional array of 2048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy

Nico de Rooij, Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell

In multi-object spectrometers, field selectors, which are located in the focal plane of the telescopes, are required for the selection of astronomical objects, such as stars or faint galaxies. We present a two-dimensional micromirror array as a field selec ...

Phase anomalies in Talbot light carpets of selfimages

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

An interesting feature of light fields is a phase anomaly, which occurs on the optical axis when light is converging as in a focal spot. Since in Talbot images the light is periodically confined in both transverse and axial directions, it remains an open q ...

Axial phase measurements of light interacting with microstructures

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We present an experimental method to study field structures of highly confined light after interaction with microstructures. A high-resolution interference microscope (HRIM) allows us to measure the three-dimensional (3D) amplitude and phase distributions ...

Spread spectrum for interferometric and magnetic resonance imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Rolf Gruetter, Pierre Vandergheynst, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Yves Wiaux, Gilles Puy

We consider images probed through incomplete and noisy Fourier coverages, both in the context of radio interferometry (RI) and of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We show that the quality of signal reconstruction can be signiﬁcantly enhanced by the introd ...

Governing the speed of a light signal in optical fibers : Brillouin slow and fast light

Sang Hoon Chin

Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin ...
