LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Frédéric Courbin

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

Structured light engineering using a photonic nanojet

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

In this Letter, we present the photonic nanojet as a phenomenon in a structured light generator system that is implemented to modify the source focal spot size and emission angle. The optical system comprises a microlens array that is illuminated by a focu ...

Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries

Enrico Felcini

Hadron therapy refers to a medical treatment that uses hadron beams (i.e. protons and ions) to deliver localized energy that suppresses cancerous cells, sparing the neighbouring healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. The major technical components of a h ...

Large field of view multi-camera endoscopic apparatus with omni-directional illumination

Yusuf Leblebici, Ömer Cogal

A multi-camera hemispherical very wide field of view imaging apparatus with omnidirectional illumination capability comprises a cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), a hemispherical mechanical frame (2) arranged on one end of the cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), ...

Single crystal diamond gain mirrors for high performance vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers

Niels Quack, Alexandru Mereuta, Andrei Caliman, Pascal Gallo, Grigore Suruceanu, Gergely Huszka, Mehdi Naamoun

We report on the design, fabrication and optical performance of gain mirrors in single crystal diamond substrates for vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELs). VECSELs have gained attention recently due to their potential for high emissio ...

A Compact Laser-Steering End-Effector for Transoral Robotic Surgery

Simon Antoni Bothner

Laryngeal cancer treatments, while curative, often lead to voice impairment. Minimally invasive surgical methods that facilitate greater preservation of healthy tissue have recently emerged, but they are still limited in important ways. In this work, we de ...

Raman imaging through multimode sapphire fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Georgia Konstantinou, Sunan Deng

We report on a sapphire fiber Raman imaging probe's use for challenging applications where access is severely restricted. Small-dimension Raman probes have been developed previously for various clinical applications because they show great capability for d ...

Aberrations of the point spread function of a multimode fiber due to partial mode excitation

Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux

We investigate the point spread function of a multimode fiber. The distortion of the focal spot created on the fiber output facet is studied for a variety of the parameters. We develop a theoretical model of wavefront shaping through a multimode fiber and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two-photon fluorescence imaging through multicore fiber with digital phase conjugation

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Nicolino Stasio

We present near diffraction limited two photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging through a lensless, multi-core fiber (MCF) endoscope utilizing digital phase conjugation. The ultra-small size of MCFs make them desirable tools for imaging deep into the body. TPF i ...

Joint Acquisition of Color and Near-Infrared Images on a Single Sensor

Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

In the past few years, fusing NIR and color images has been explored in general computational photography and computer vision tasks, where traditionally only color images are used. The additional information provided by the differences of light and scene r ...

Generation of 0.9-mJ THz pulses in DSTMS pumped by a Cr:Mg2SiO4 laser

Christoph Peter Hauri

We report on high-field terahertz transients with 0.9-mJ pulse energy produced in a 400 mm(2) partitioned organic crystal by optical rectification of a 30-mJ laser pulse centered at 1.25 mu m wavelength. The phase-locked single-cycle terahertz pulses cover ...

A microfluidic flow-cell for the study of the ultrafast dynamics of biological systems

Majed Chergui, Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet

The study of biochemical dynamics by ultrafast spectroscopic methods is often restricted by the limited amount of liquid sample available, while the high repetition rate of light sources can induce photodamage. In order to overcome these limitations, we de ...
