Cui, M. (author), Zeitouny, M.G. (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author), Van den Berg, S.A. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author), Braat, J.J.M. (author)We experimentally demonstrate that a femtosecond frequency comb laser can be applied as a tool for longdistance measurement in air. Our method is based on the measurement of cross correlation between individual pulses in a Michelson interferometer. From the position of the correlation functions, distances of up to 50 m have been measured. We...journal article 2009

Vuelban, E.M. (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author), Braat, J.J.M. (author)We propose and demonstrate a novel liquid deformable mirror, based on electrocapillary actuation, for highorder wavefront correction. The device consists of a two-dimensional array of vertically oriented microchannels filled with two immiscible liquids, an aqueous electrolyte, and a viscous dielectric liquid, where the dielectric liquid...journal article 2006

Swinkels, B.L. (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author), Braat, J.J.M. (author)Absolute distance measurements can be performed with an interferometric method that uses only a single tunable laser. This method has one major drawback, because a small target movement of the order of one wavelength during a measurement will be interpreted as a movement of one synthetic wavelength. This effect is usually mitigated by adding a...journal article 2005

Koek, W.D. (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author), Braat, J.J.M. (author), Ooms, T.A. (author), Westerweel, J. (author)A theoretical analysis describing the dependence of the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) on the number of pixels and the number of particles is presented for in-line digital particle holography. The validity of the theory is verified by means of numerical simulation. Based on the theory we present a practical performance benchmark for digital...journal article 2005
