Linear scattering theory of short-pulse reflectometry

Stephan Brunner, Stefano Coda, Oleg Krutkin

The linear scattering theory of short pulse reflectometry is presented. An expression for the scattering signal is obtained by applying the perturbation theory approach for solving the Helmholtz equation. Based on these analytical results, a method for mea ...

Frequency and time domains interactions in nanophotonics

Andrei Kiselev

In this thesis, we discuss the problems of scattering and optical manipulation related to nanosystems of different complexities. The multipolar decomposition method is used to represent scattering processes in nanosystems as a series of elementary excitati ...

A Full-Wave Reference Simulator for Computing Surface Reflectance

Mengqi Xia

Computing light reflection from rough surfaces is an important topic in computer graphics. Reflection models developed based on geometric optics fail to capture wave effects such as diffraction and interference, while existing models based on physical opti ...

Nonlinear Inverse Problems in Quantitative Phase Imaging

Thanh-An Michel Pham

The topic of this thesis is the development of new algorithmic reconstruction methods for quantitative phase imaging (QPI). In the past decade, advanced QPI has emerged as a valuable tool to study label-free biological samples and uncover their 3D structur ...

State-to-state surface scattering of methane studied by bolometric infrared laser tagging detection

Bo-Jung Chen

State-to-state molecule/surface scattering experiments prepare the incident molecules in a specific quantum state and measure the quantum state distribution of the scattered molecules. The comparison of state resolved experiments with theory can serve as s ...

Probing multi-particle unitarity with the Landau equations

Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia, Amit Sever, Alexander Zhiboedov

We consider the 2 -> 2 scattering amplitude of identical massive particles. We identify the Landau curves in the multi-particle region 16m(2)

Practical Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent

Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

Algorithms are everywhere. The recipe for the frangipane cake is an algorithm. If all the listed ingredients are available and the cook is sufficiently deft, after a finite number of small, well-defined steps a delicious dessert will exit the oven. Now, wh ...

Multipolar expansions for scattering and optical force calculations beyond the long wavelength approximation

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Marco Riccardi

We review three different approaches for the calculation of electromagnetic multipoles, namely, the Cartesian primitive multipoles, the Cartesian irreducible multipoles, and the spherical multipoles. We identify the latter as the best suited to describe th ...

Controlling Light in Scattering Materials for Volumetric Additive Manufacturing

Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Paul Delrot, Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff, Antoine Vincent Boniface

3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing of volumetric components and structures in many areas. Several fully volumetric light-based techniques have been recently developed thanks to the advent of photocurable resins, promising to reach unprecedent ...

Evidence for a spin acoustic surface plasmon from inelastic atom scattering

Davide Campi

Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can then decay into surface phonons v ...

Atom-surface van der Waals potentials of topological insulators and semimetals from scattering measurements

Davide Campi

The phenomenology of resonant scattering has been known since the earliest experiments upon scattering of atomic beams from surfaces and is a means of obtaining experimental information about the fundamentals of weak adsorption systems in the van der Waals ...

Low-energy stereodynamics of ion-forming reactions

Junwen Zou

In this thesis, an experimental study of low-temperature stereodynamics in the reactive scattering of Ne(3P2) + X collisions (X = Ar, Kr, Xe, CO and N2) is presented. The steric effect of Ne(3P2) in these reactions is observed experimentally using a contro ...

Single-Photon, Time-Gated, Phasor-Based Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging through Highly Scattering Medium

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Arin Can Ülkü

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for biochemical and cellular investigations, including in vivo applications. Fluorescence lifetime is an intrinsic characteristic of any fluorescent dye which, to a large ext ...

State-to-state methane-surface scattering as a probe of catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Jörn Werdecker, Bo-Jung Chen

Quantum state-resolved scattering experiments for methane molecules colliding with a catalytically active nickel surface are compared to scattering from a nickel surface passivated by a single layer of graphene. The vibrational state distribution of the sc ...

Angular Scattering Properties of Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

This article aims at studying the angular scattering properties of bianisotropic metasurfaces and clarifying the different roles played by tangential and normal polarization densities. Different types of metasurfaces are considered for this study and are c ...

Vibrationally inelastic scattering of HCl from Ag(111)

Jan Daniel Geweke

Using molecular beam cooled samples and quantum state-selective detection, we observe v = 0 -> 1 vibrational transitions when HCl (v = 0) collides with an Ag(111) surface and derive both the incidence energy and surface temperature dependence of the transi ...

Investigation of the low-energy stereodynamics in the Ne(3P2) + N2, CO reactions

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou

We report on an experimental investigation of the low-energy stereodynamics of the energy transfer reactions Ne(3P2) + X, producing Ne(1S) + X+ and [Ne–X]+ (X = N2 or CO). Collision energies in the range 0.2 K–700 K are obtained by using the merged beam te ...
