Scanning near-field optical microscopy with new probes and feedback modes

Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...

Super-resolution optical imaging: A comparison

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Gergely Huszka

Overcoming the classical diffraction limit in optical microscopy is known to be achievable by a variety of far-field and near-field microscopy techniques. More recently, so-called micro-object-based optical super-resolution microscopy techniques have emerg ...

Full field vertical scanning in short coherence digital holographic microscope

Christian Depeursinge, Christophe Moser, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort

In Digital holography Microscopes (DHM) implemented in the so-called "off axis" configuration, the object and reference wave fronts are not co-planar but form an angle of a few degrees. This results into two main drawbacks. First, the contrast of the inter ...

Investigation of the Electromechanical Properties of Graphene

Mohamed Malik Benameur

This thesis studies the optical and electro-mechanical properties of novel atomically thin crystals. It deals with the carbon based material, graphene, and with layered transition metal dichalcogenides with the common formula MX2. The first part describes ...

Luminescent Lanthanide Helicates Self-Assembled from Ditopic Ligands Bearing Phosphonic Acid or Phosphoester Units

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Steve Comby, Cyntia De Piano

A series of hexadentate ditopic receptors incorporating benzimidazole moieties have been designed, which are fitted with phosphonic acid or phosphoethylester coordinating units. In addition, poly(oxyethylene) pendants have been introduced on the benzimidaz ...

Infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy investigates order and clusters in model membranes

Giorgio Margaritondo, Johanna Generosi

Due to its surface sensitivity and high spatial resolution, scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has a significant potential to study the lateral organization of membrane domains and clusters. Compared to other techniques, infrared near-field micr ...

Scanning near-field infrared microscopy and spectromicroscopy applied to nano-systems and cells

Dusan Vobornik

This thesis further explores the possibilities of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in both materials and life sciences. Two experimental SNOM setups were developed: one designed for infrared spectroscopy applications and the other for the imag ...

Photochimie dans le champ proche : application à la photoimmobilisation de biomolécules à l'échelle nanométrique

Claude Philipona

In view of future generations of biosensors, the immobilization of biomolecules onto selected materials with a well controlled topical addressability is of primary importance. Photoimmobilization is a technique allowing the immobilization of a biomolecule ...
