Eco-morphodynamic carbon pumping by the largest rivers in the Neotropics

Paolo Perona

The eco-morphodynamic activity of large tropical rivers in South and Central America is analyzed to quantify the carbon flux from riparian vegetation to inland waters. We carried out a multi-temporal analysis of satellite data for all the largest rivers in ...

Nuove ecologie alpine: industrializzazione e costruzione della città-territorio

Roberto Sega

This research study offers a reflection on the Alpine urban condition through the observation of the spaces of production. Departing from the premise that the tourist economy cannot be the only possible horizon for Alpine development, this thesis reflects ...

Tunable insertion of multiple lines into a Kerr frequency comb using electro-optical modulators

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Yan Yan

We experimentally insert a flexible number of electro-optical (EO) comb lines into a Kerr frequency comb via EO modulation and demonstrate the use of combined Kerr and EO combs as light sources in coherent communications. The number of EO lines inserted in ...

Imaging blood cells through scattering biological tissue using speckle scanning microscopy

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Ye Pu, Xin Yang

We demonstrate imaging of blood cells enclosed in chicken skin tissue using speckle scanning microscopy (SSM). Clear images of multiple cells were obtained with subcellular resolution and good image fidelity, provided that the object dimension was smaller ...

Bandwidth and repetition rate programmable Nyquist sinc-shaped pulse train source based on intensity modulators and four-wave mixing

Camille Sophie Brès, Mohammad Amin Shoaie, Armand Vedadi-Comte, Steevy Joyce Cordette

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical Nyquist sinc-shaped pulse train source based on intensity modulation and four-wave mixing. The proposed scheme allows for the tunability of the bandwidth and the full flexibility of the repetition ra ...

Monte Carlo simulation of the field back-scattered from rough surfaces

Christian Depeursinge, Stéphane Chamot

A novel approach for the simulation of the field back-scattered from a rough surface is presented. It takes into account polarization and multiple scattering events on the surface, as well as diffraction effects. The validity and usefulness of this simulat ...

Inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman microscopy

Ho Ling Li, Demetri Psaltis

We demonstrate a simple approach for inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, in which a layer of uniform nonlinear medium is placed in front of a specimen to be imaged. The reference wave created by four-wave mixing in t ...

Imaging through turbid layers by scanning the phase conjugated second harmonic radiation from a nanoparticle

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Ye Pu, Grégoire Pierre Jean Laporte

We demonstrate imaging through a turbid layer by using digital phase conjugation of the second harmonic field radiated from a beacon nanoparticle. We show that the phase-conjugated focus can be displaced from its initial position by illuminating the same r ...

Stochastic Optimization of Sailing Trajectories in an America's Cup Race

The main objective of the thesis is the study and the determination of an optimal navigation strategy, for a sailboat in an America's Cup race, by methods of stochastic optimization. Such methods are appropriate because the sailing team expects the wind to ...

Light-controlled reconfigurable fiber bragg gratings written in attenuation fiber

René Salathé, Hans Georg Limberger, Dragan Coric

A novel type of light controlled fiber Bragg gratings written in attenuation fiber is demonstrated. The spectral reconfiguration can be controlled by the pump power, the pumping configuration, the grating position and the fiber attenuation. © Optical Socie ...

Speckle statistics in optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Markus Laubscher, Kai Hassler

The two previously reported calculations of the amplitude distribution of speckles in optical coherence tomography, each based on a different mathematical formulation, yield different results. We show that a modification of an initial assumption in one of ...
