Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Fiber Positioner Production

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is under construction to measure the expansion history of the Universe using the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation technique. The spectra of 35 million galaxies and quasars over 14000 sq deg will be measured during ...

Effects of regional and local atmospheric dynamics on the aerosol and CCN load over Athens

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol and cloud condensate nuclei (CCN) measurements in the area of Athens during HyGRA-CD campaign (May–June 2014) identified a significant diversity in particle properties. In this study we select two distinct cases in terms of meteorology and air mass ...

Aberrations analysis of a Focused Plenoptic Camera

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

A Focused Plenoptic Camera in Galilean configuration is studied and its aberrations behavior is interpreted with the Nodal Aberration Theory (NAT). Sequential ray tracing is applied to individual optical channels constituted by the camera objective and ind ...

Fourier light scattering model for treating textures deeper than the wavelength

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Matthias Wolfgang Bräuninger

We apply a Fourier-scattering model to describe light scattering in solar cells with textured surfaces. For the size and inclination angle of typical micro-textures, scattering may occur into large angles. This makes the model prone to paraxial errors. We ...

Revisiting Newton’s rings with a plasmonic optical flat for high-accuracy surface inspection

Olivier Martin, Xiaolong Wang

Two parallel optical surfaces often exhibit colorful fringes along the lines of equal thickness because of the interference of light. This simple phenomenon allows one to observe subwavelength corrugations on a reflective surface by simply placing on it a ...

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 ...

Design of periodic nano- and macro-scale textures for high-performance thin-film multi-junction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

Surface textures in thin-film silicon multi-junction solar cells play an important role in gaining the photocurrent of the devices. In this paper, a design of the textures is carried out for the case of amorphous silicon/micro-crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/m ...

Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...

A 24 mm diameter fibre positioner for spectroscopic surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler

One of the big research topics in modern cosmology is the mystery of dark Energy. To unveil the secret, cosmologists want to measure precisely the evolution of large scale structures in the universe. One way of doing so is to measure the 3D location of a h ...
