Glass multifocal microlens array through laser-induced topological transformation

Martin Thibaud Lentz, Yves Bellouard, Samuel Youcef Benketaf

We investigate the use of laser-induced topological transformation for manufacturing multifocal lens arrays with arbitrary focal ranges. Cylindrical preforms manufactured by femtosecond laser and chemical etching are topologically transformed into plano-co ...

Microscintillators for advanced proton beams characterization

Michele Caldara

This thesis investigates the development, characterization, and potential applications of a novel instrument designed to measure the transverse profile of accelerated beams with high resolution, sensitivity, and frame rate. The study explores various fabr ...

III-N blue-emitting epi-structures with high densities of dislocations: Fundamental mechanisms for efficiency improvement and applications

Pierre Christophe Lottigier

Since the dawn of humanity, human beings seeked to light their surroundings for their well-being, security and development. The efficiency of ancient lighting devices, e.g. oil lamps or candles, was in the order of 0.03-0.04% and jumped to 0.4-0.6% with th ...

Symmetry breaking of the angular transmittance by a metagrating

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

Metasurfaces have opened the way for gaining control over the frequency and the polarization responses of electromagnetic waves. However, it is still challenging to control their electromagnetic angular response. Here, the potential of diffractive surfaces ...

Heat transfer of uncoated and nanostructure coated commercially micro-enhanced refrigeration tubes under pool boiling conditions

John Richard Thome

The heat transfer performance of commercially produced micro-enhanced tubes with and without a nanocoating was investigated under pool boiling of saturated refrigerant. These multiscale enhancements were on the outside of 19 mm horizontal copper tubes heat ...

Tracking spatiotemporal localisation and interactions of the innate immune sensor STING

Sophie Marie Elisabeth Rivara

Innate immunity, the very first line of defence of our cells, relies on the detection of universal pathogen- or danger-associated signals to launch an inflammatory response. A crucial part of our innate immune system is based on the recognition of out-of-c ...

A general method for the development of multicolor biosensors with large dynamic ranges

Kai Johnsson

Fluorescent biosensors enable the study of cell physiology with spatiotemporal resolution; yet, most biosensors suffer from relatively low dynamic ranges. Here, we introduce a family of designed Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pairs with near-quan ...

High sensitivity, incoherent differential imaging

Chiara Bonati

Microscopic visualisation of optically transparent samples has been a topic of interest for several decades. Features such as density or chemical composition can influence the optical phase of transmitted light, and phase contrast can reveal these structur ...

Microfluidic study in a meter-long reactive path reveals how the medium’s structural heterogeneity shapes MICP-induced biocementation

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Ariadni Elmaloglou

Microbially induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP) is one of the major sustainable alternatives to the artificial cementation of granular media. MICP consists of injecting the soil with bacterial- and calcium-rich solutions sequentially to ...

Fluorescent D-Amino Acids for Super-resolution Microscopy of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Mischa André Meyer, Faustine Ambroisine Charline Ryckebusch, Suliana Manley, Luc Reymond, Chen Zhang, Juliette Griffie, Willi Leopold Stepp, Ophélie Rutschmann, Jiangtao Qiao

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) have previ-ously been developed to enable in situ highlighting of locations of bacterial cell wall growth. Most bacterial cells lie at the edge of the diffraction limit of visible light; thus, resolving the precise details ...

Statistical distortion of supervised learning predictions in optical microscopy induced by image compression

Aleksandra Radenovic, David Nguyen, Arielle Louise Planchette

The growth of data throughput in optical microscopy has triggered the extensive use of supervised learning (SL) models on compressed datasets for automated analysis. Investigating the effects of image compression on SL predictions is therefore pivotal to a ...

Magic-angle magnonic nanocavity in a magnetic moiré superlattice

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu

Moiré superlattices have recently been extensively studied in both electronic and photonic systems, e.g., magic-angle bilayer graphene showing superconductivity and twisted bilayer photonic crystals leading to magic-angle lasers. However, the moiré physics ...
