Growth Of Organic Semiconductor Thin Films with Multi-Micron Domain Size and Fabrication of Organic Transistors Using a Stencil Nanosieve

Jürgen Brugger, Valentin Flauraud, Shenqi Xie

To grow small molecule semiconductor thin films with domain size larger than modern-day device sizes, we evaporate the material through a dense array of small apertures, called a stencil nanosieve. The aperture size of 0.5 μm results in low nucleation dens ...

Light fields behind microstructures: study of the Babinet-principle in the Fresnel regime

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

The Babinet’s principle is a general theorem that holds for electromagnetic waves and is often applied to diffraction of light. Diffraction pattern of a body and that of the complement body are compared and the sum of both radiation patterns must be the sa ...

Three-dimensional microfabrication through a multimode optical fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Nicolino Stasio, Edgar Emilio Morales Delgado

3D printing based on additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing technique that allows the fabrication of arbitrary macroscopic and microscopic objects. Many 3D printing systems require large optical elements or nozzles in proximity to the built st ...

Microfluidic and Electrokinetic Manipulation of Single Cells

Samuel Kilchenmann

Traditional cell assays report on the average results of a cell population. However, a wide range of new tools are being developed for a fundamental understanding of single cell's functionality. Nonetheless, the current tools are either limited in their th ...

Coherent imaging from bacteria to multicellular organisms

Séverine Coquoz

Structural and functional imaging of cells, tissues and organisms is crucial for understanding biomedical processes. Fluorescence microscopy is an established tool and has contributed to many discoveries in the life sciences. This technique provides molecu ...

A Point-Spread-Function-Aware Filtered Backprojection Algorithm for Focal-Plane-Scanning Optical Projection Tomography

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling

Traditional optical projection tomography requires the use of low numerical aperture objectives in order to achieve a large depth of field and approximate parallel projection geometry. However, low NA objectives suffer from poor resolution, resulting in bl ...

Refraction limit of miniaturized optical systems: a ball-lens example

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Myun Sik Kim, Roland Andreas Bitterli

We study experimentally and theoretically the electromagnetic field in amplitude and phase behind ball-lenses across a wide range of diameters, ranging from a millimeter scale down to a micrometer. Based on the observation, we study the transition between ...

Precision glass molding of high-resolution diffractive optical elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Karin Prater

The demand of high resolution diffractive optical elements (DOE) is growing. Smaller critical dimensions allow higher deflection angles and can fulfill more demanding requirements, which can only be met by using electron-beam lithography. Replication techn ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in retinal imaging using the scattering properties of the sclera

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Dino Carpentras

In-vivo imaging of the eye's fundus is widely used to study eye's health. State of the art Adaptive Optics devices can resolve features up to a lateral resolution of 1.5 um. This resolution is still above what is needed to observe subcellular structures su ...

Organic-inorganic-hybrid-polymer microlens arrays with tailored optical characteristics and multi-focal properties

Jürgen Brugger, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Loïc Jacot-Descombes

Plano-convex microlens arrays of organic-inorganic polymers with tailored optical properties are presented. The fine-tuning of each microlens within an array is achieved by confining inkjet printed drops of the polymeric ink onto pre-patterned substrates. ...
