Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation

Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...

High speed, complex wavefront shaping using the digital micro-mirror device

Demetri Psaltis

Digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) have been deployed in many optical applications. As compared to spatial light modulators (SLMs), they are characterized by their much faster refresh rates (full-frame refresh rates up to 32 kHz for binary patterns) compa ...

Performance and Micro-Vibrations in Magnetic Bearings for Space Actuators

Guzmán Borque Gallego

The development of new space missions with novel high-performance and very sensitive payloads for Earth observation or scientific missions has imposed considerably tougher requirements in terms of the satellite's pointing accuracy and stability, and thus o ...

Koehler integrator device and application thereof in a multi-focal confocal microscope

Suliana Manley, Dora Mahecic, Kyle Michael Douglass

A Koehler integrator device (10) comprises a collimating lens (11) being arranged for collimating a light field created by an incoherent or partially coherent light source, a pair of planar first and second micro-lens arrays (12, 13) being arranged for rel ...

COSMOGRAIL: XIX. Time delays in 18 strongly lensed quasars from 15 years of optical monitoring star

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Malte Tewes, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Rémy Elie Joseph, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Olga Tihhonova

We present the results of 15 years of monitoring lensed quasars, which was conducted by the COSMOGRAIL programme at the Leonhard Euler 1.2 m Swiss Telescope. The decade-long light curves of 23 lensed systems are presented for the first time. We complement ...

Moiré effects produced by superpositions of micro-lens arrays

Thomas Walger

Moiré effects result from the superimposition of repetitive structures. The beauty of these moirés comes from the fact that macroscopic shapes seem to appear from the superposition of layers containing microscopic patterns. In addition, the moirés are dyna ...

Closed-Form Solution to Disambiguate Defocus Blur in Single-Perspective Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Marjan Shahpaski

Depth-from-defocus techniques suffer an ambiguity problem where depth planes on opposite sides of the focal plane have identical defocus. We solve the ambiguity by relying on the wavelength-dependent relationship between defocus and depth. We conduct a rob ...

HDR Images for Glare Evaluation: Comparison Between DSLR Cameras, an Absolute Calibrated Luminance Camera and a Spot Luminance Meter

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Peter Hansen

User calibrated digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are being used in visual comfort and especially for glare evaluations as affordable alternatives to high-end luminance cameras calibrated by the manufacturer itself. While the typical way for a user ...

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 ...

A Practical Method for Measuring the Spatial Frequency Response of Light Field Cameras

Sabine Süsstrunk, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Damien Firmenich

The spatial frequency response (SFR) is one of the most important and unbiased image quality measures of a digital camera. It evaluates to which extent a lens/sensor combination can resolve scene details. In this paper, we propose a simple and practical me ...

Large Micromirror Array Based on a Scalable Technology for Astronomical Instrumentation

Michael David Canonica

Understanding the formation of galaxies and studying the expansion of the Universe, need the spectral characterization of faint astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies. From these spectra, the distance, the velocity and the chemical composition of t ...

Hybrid polymer microlens arrays with high numerical apertures fabricated using simple ink-jet printing technique

Edoardo Charbon, Jürgen Brugger, Dmitri Boiko, Vahid Fakhfouri, Joo Yeon Kim, Nils Benedict Brauer

Microlens arrays fabricated by a direct ink-jet printing of UV-curable hybrid polymer are reported. A periodic pattern of polymer drops was ink-jet printed on the surface-treated glass substrate and cured in the UV-light. Using this simple technique, we de ...

Controlling spectral response of photodetector for an image sensor

Edoardo Charbon, Cristiano Niclass

A method for controlling the spectral response of light sensitive semiconductor elements in an array (8) using an electric control signal (Vop) applied to said semiconductor elements. The light sensitive semiconductor elements could be a single photon aval ...

Improvement of the Contrast in Cancer Detection by Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy using a narrow spectral violet Excitation: A preliminary study

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht, Blaise Lovisa

Autofluorescence (AF) bronchoscopy is a useful tool for early cancer detection. However, the mechanisms involved in this diagnosis procedure are poorly understood. We present a clinical autofluorescence imaging study to assess the depth of the principal co ...

Stability and physical properties of alkylsilane and alkylphosphonate self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films on metal oxide substrates characterized at the micro- and nanoscale

Enamul Hoque

Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films have attracted immense attention for both fundamental and applied research. A SAM is composed of a large number of molecules with a head group that chemisorbs onto a substrate, a tail group that interacts with the outer ...
