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 ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a catalogue of strong galaxy-galaxy lens candidates

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We spectroscopically detected 838 likely, 448 probable, and 265 possible strong lens candidates within approximate to 2million galaxy spectra contained within the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) from the sixteenth data release (DR1 ...

Structured light engineering using a photonic nanojet

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi, Daniel Necesal

In this Letter, we present the photonic nanojet as a phenomenon in a structured light generator system that is implemented to modify the source focal spot size and emission angle. The optical system comprises a microlens array that is illuminated by a focu ...

Lens aberration compensation in interference microscopy

Yves Bellouard, Jakub Drs

Emergence of products that feature functional surfaces with complex geometries, such as freeform optics in consumer electronics and augmented reality and virtual reality, requires high-accuracy non-contact surface measurement. However, large discrepancies ...

Optical characterization of high numerical aperture microlenses for quality assessment and fabrication process optimization

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Accurate characterization of high numerical aperture aspheric microlenses currently is a nonstandard procedure that remains an open challenge. Here, we present and discuss a characterization method based on interferometric and point spread function measure ...

Tolerancing the surface form of aspheric microlenses manufactured by wafer-level optics techniques

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Tolerancing is an important step toward the fabrication of high-quality and cost-effective lens surfaces. It is critical for wafer-level optics, when up to tens of thousands microlenses are fabricated in parallel and whose surfaces cannot be formed individ ...

Whose knowledge, whose values? An empirical analysis of power in transdisciplinary sustainability research

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Livia Bianca Fritz

The participation of practitioners in transdisciplinary sustainability research has been heralded as a promising tool for producing ‘robust’ knowledge and engendering societal transformations. Although transdisciplinary approaches have been advanced as an ...

Camera Calibration Models and Methods for Corridor Mapping with UAVs

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Camera calibration refers to the modeling of the relationship between the coordinates of object points and their projections on the image plane. This is usually done by parametric models that describe the physical properties of the lens systems and camera ...
