de Jong, M.H.J. (author), Li, J. (author), Gartner, C.M. (author), Norte, R.A. (author), Groeblacher, S. (author)Studying the interplay between multiple coupled mechanical resonators is a promising new direction in the field of optomechanics. Understanding the dynamics of the interaction can lead to rich new effects, such as enhanced coupling and multi-body physics. In particular, multi-resonator optomechanical systems allow for distinct dynamical...journal article 2022

(author), Pramanik, Manojit (author)In photoacoustic tomography (PAT) systems, the tangential resolution decreases due to the finite size of the transducer as the off-center distance increases. To address this problem, we propose a multi-angle detection approach in which the transducer used for data acquisition rotates around its center (with specific angles) as well as around...journal article 2022

(author), Versluis, Michel (author), Verweij, M.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)Ultrasound (US) contrast agents consist of microbubbles ranging from 1 to 10 μm in size. The acoustical response of individual microbubbles can be studied with high-frame-rate optics or an "acoustical camera"(AC). The AC measures the relative microbubble oscillation while the optical camera measures the absolute oscillation. In this article,...journal article 2022

(author), Koski, Jonne V. (author)We demonstrate the use of radio-frequency (rf) resonators to measure the capacitance of nanoscale semiconducting devices in field-effect transistor configurations. The rf resonator is attached to the gate or the lead of the device. Consequently, tuning the carrier density in the conducting channel of the device affects the resonance frequency...journal article 2022

de Jong, J. J. (author), Müller, A. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Dynamic balance eliminates the fluctuating reaction forces and moments induced by high-speed robots that would otherwise cause undesired base vibrations, noise and accuracy loss. Many balancing procedures, such as the addition of counter-rotating inertia wheels, increase the complexity and motor torques. There exist, however, a small set of...journal article 2021
