Parameter-free rendering of single-molecule localization microscopy data for parameter-free resolution estimation

Aleksandra Radenovic, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux, Kristin Stefanie Grussmayer

Localization microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that relies on the spatial and temporal separation of blinking fluorescent emitters. These blinking events can be individually localized with a precision significantly smaller than the classic ...

The Polarity Reversal of Lightning‐Generated Sky Wave

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Wenhao Hou

The polarity reversal of the lightning‐generated first sky wave as a function of the observation distance is studied using a novel approach combining the finite‐difference time domain (FDTD) method and the superposition principle of electromagnetic waves. ...

Transmission Microsphere-Assisted Dark-Field Microscopy

Giorgio Quaranta

Microsphere-assisted microscopy allows the limit of the diffraction of light to overcome while being non-invasive, full-field, label-free, and easy-to-implement. However, the observation of translucent samples remains difficult using a classical bright-fie ...

Experimental demonstration of ray-rotation sheets

Toralf Scharf

We have built microstructured sheets that rotate, on transmission, the direction of light rays by an arbitrary, but fixed, angle around the sheet normal. These ray-rotation sheets comprise two pairs of confocal lenticular arrays. In addition to rotating th ...

Scaling effect and its impact on wavelength-scale microlenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We revisit the scaling laws in micro-optical systems to highlight new phenomena arising beyond a conventional optical regime, especially when the size of the system approaches to the operational wavelength. Our goal is to visualize the impact of the scalin ...

An Alternative Method for Locating Faults in Transmission Line Networks Based on Time Reversal

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Mario Paolone, Reza Razzaghi, Zhaoyang Wang

We present an alternative method based on the time-reversal process to locate faults in transmission line networks. The proposed procedure considers different media for the forward and the backward propagation phases. Specifically, the transverse branch re ...

Super-Resolution Imaging of a Dielectric Microsphere Is Governed by the Waist of Its Photonic Nanojet

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hui Yang, Gergely Huszka

Dielectric microspheres with appropriate refractive index can image objects with super-resolution, that is, with a precision well beyond the classical diffraction limit. A microsphere is also known to generate upon illumination a photonic nanojet, which is ...

Towards an incoherent off-axis digital holographic microscope

Christian Depeursinge, Frédéric Montfort

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a system in which off-axis digital holographic microscopy is realized using a broadband illumination source. Single-shot holographic measurements are enabled, while the coherence noise is removed thanks to the broa ...

Radiation hardness of high-Q silicon nitride microresonators for space compatible integrated optics

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch

Integrated optics has distinct advantages for applications in space because it integrates many elements onto a monolithic, robust chip. As the development of different building blocks for integrated optics advances, it is of interest to answer the importan ...

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 ...

Comment on “Encoding many channels on the same frequency through radio vorticity: first experimental test”

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

We show that the public experiment held in Venice by Tamburini et al and reported in 2012 New J. Phys. 14 033001 can be regarded as a particular implementation of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communications and, therefore, has no advantages over e ...

Huygens-Fresnel diffraction and evanescent waves

Demetri Psaltis

Based on a modified Huygens-Fresnel principle valid in the near field, we analytically verify the exponential wave decay of evanescent waves. This field decay along the propagation direction can be considered as the result of interference between elementar ...
