A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H-0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0, with three strong gravitational lens systems, We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and 11E0435-1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131-1231. For each lens, we com ...

The core of the massive cluster merger MACS J0417.5-1154 as seen by VLT/MUSE

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis

We present a multiwavelength analysis of the core of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0417.5-1154 (z = 0.441). Our analysis takes advantage of Very Large Telescope/Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer observations which allowthe spectroscopic confirmation of ...

Are Photonic Nanojets Achromatic?

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we study the evolution of the photonic nanojet (PNJ) phenomenon as the ratio of the sphere's diameter over the illumination wavelength changes, for microspheres with diameters from 2 mu m to 100 mu m. We measure the focal point position by usi ...

Improvements on the uniformity of large-area microlens arrays in Fused Silica

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Jeremy Béguelin

The uniformity of large microlens arrays in Fused Silica is governed by the production process. It comprises photolithographic patterning of a spin-coated layer of photoresist on a 200mm wafer with a molten resist reflow process and subsequent dry etching. ...

Sparse Lens Inversion Technique (SLIT): lens and source separability from linear inversion of the source reconstruction problem

Frédéric Courbin, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing offers a wealth of astrophysical information on the background source it affects, provided the lensed source can be reconstructed as if it was seen in the absence of lensing. In the present work, we illustrate how sparse optimi ...

Solving the Depth Ambiguity in Single-Perspective Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Marjan Shahpaski

Scene depth estimation is gaining in importance as more and more AR/VR and robot vision applications are developed. Conventional depth-from-defocus techniques can passively provide depth maps from a single image. This is especially advantageous for moving ...

Tuning the Incorporation of Magnesium into Calcite during Its Crystallization from Additive-Free Aqueous Solution

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du

Under ambient conditions, marine organisms are able to synthesize a variety of functional materials, ranging from eye lenses to protective shells through the meticulous control over magnesium incorporation into calcite during its crystallization. The mecha ...

AAM: An Assessment Metric of Axial Chromatic Aberration

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Frederike Dümbgen

Knowledge of lens specifications is important to identify the best lens for a given capture scenario and application. Lens manufacturers provide many specifications in their data sheets, and multiple initiatives for testing and comparing different lenses c ...

Design and validation of a foldable and photovoltaic wide-field epiretinal prosthesis

Diego Ghezzi, Kevin Sivula, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Paola Vagni, Laura Ferlauto, Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais, Michele Bevilacqua

Retinal prostheses have been developed to fight blindness in people affected by outer retinal layer dystrophies. To date, few hundred patients have received a retinal implant. Inspired by intraocular lenses, we have designed a foldable and photovoltaic wid ...
