Gottmer, Leila (author)
In this thesis, an efficient optimization method is described for synthesizing lens antennas fabricated in low permittivity plastic materials to achieve wide scanning performances. The method is based on an antenna in reception representation. The optimized parameters are the location and orientation of the antenna feeder, lens angular region...

This communication proposes a broadband and efficient integrated focal plane array solution based on a near-field focused connected array of slots. The focused aperture provides: 1) broadband and highly efficient illumination of the quasi-optical system and 2) scanning capabilities within a focusing system. The connected array antenna in turn...

We report a high accuracy pointing technique for quasi-optical hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixers in focal-plane arrays designed to operate at 1.4, 1.9, and 4.7 THz. The high accuracy pointing is achieved by prealignment of a HEB chip to a lens, measuring the angular error of each mixer in an array assembly, and then realignment of the chip...

This article focuses on the angular dependency of the light sensitivity of a commercially available CMOS camera with a global shutter (storage node (SG) in the charge domain) and shared pixel architecture. The angular dependency is characterized as a function of both the wavelength and the angle of incidence of the incoming light. The...

A black hole is an object in space where the pull of its gravity is so strong<br/>that no light can escape. This notion gives rise to the phenomenon called<br/>gravitational lensing which is the effect where light is being bent by a massive<br/>object, in our case a black hole. With these two concepts in mind we are<br/>able to formulate the...

Semiconductor (SC)-based bulk absorbers operating in the (sub-) THz range are discussed. The conductivities of the bulk media are described by the Drude model for electron gas where the electron density is controlled. The Drude model predicts the existence of two frequencies of interest: one associated with the scattering time of the electrons...

In this study, we demonstrate a 12x36 mm motorized capsule for OCT imaging of the esophagus. The capsule produces unobstructed images by using a distal reflector design, thus avoiding shadow caused by the motor wires. The motor synchronous control enables three working modes: circumferential imaging, angular sector imaging and accurate beam...

This Bachelor thesis is on Covariant Emergent Gravity (CEG): a covariant formulation by Sabine Hossenfelder of the ideas of Erik Verlinde on gravity as an emergent force. In this work, the ideas of Erik Verlinde are presented as well as the field equations of CEG. The aim of this thesis is to find experimentally verifiable results for CEG. From...

The calculation of field-of-view luminance based metrics for visual discomfort from glare evaluation in real scenes via HDR (High Dynamic Range) luminance capture does generally require the use of wide view fisheye lenses. This paper presents an easy to implement and low-cost method to estimate a fisheye lens’ total field-of view and projection...

The optical performance of a wideband double bowtie slot antenna, implemented in 28nm CMOS technology, is evaluated. The antenna serves as a verification antenna for an uncooled single-pixel radiometer operating from 200 GHz to 600 GHz. The performance is evaluated in terms of radiometric pattern that is derived from the measured radiation...

A highly miniaturized, single-chip, large scanning range MOEMS scanner is demonstrated. This intrinsically-aligned, monolithically integrated device uses small angular displacement to provide a linear scanning range of 2000 μm in the lateral and 1000 μm in the vertical direction, at a working distance of 2 cm, with an average operating power...

Strabismus, or “crossed eyes”, is a condition in which the eyes do not line up in the same direction when focusing on an object. The DAISY is a device that is designed to measure Strabismus on young children, this has to be done quickly in order to not lose the attention of the child. In order to calibrate the main measuring principle, the...

DESHIMA (Deep Spectroscopic High-redshift Mapper) is an instrument aiming at efficiently making spectroscopic redshift measurements of sub-mm wave galaxies (SMGs), thereby providing about the formation and the evolution of stars and galaxies. The aim of this work is to provide a preliminary study into the design of a wideband leaky lens antenna...

The design and performance analysis are presented for a passive uncooled radiometer pixel suitable for integration in 28 nm CMOS technology. In the configuration a single wideband antenna, operating from 200 GHz to 600 GHz, is connected to a pn-junction diode. Including the antenna-detector impedance mismatch, the detector shows an average NEP...

This contribution presents the design and sub-mm wave measurements of a wideband dual polarized leaky lens antenna coupled to kinetic inductance detector (KIDs) to be specifically used for tightly spaced focal plane arrays. The antenna is planar and composed by two crossed slots, fed by two orthogonal coplanar waveguide (CPW) lines. In...

The increased usage of liquid lenses motivates us to investigate surface waves on the liquid's surface. During fast focal switching, the surface waves decrease the imaging quality. We propose a model that describes the surface modes appearing on a liquid lens and predicts the resonance frequencies. The effects of those surface modes on a...

In this paper a rigorous electromagnetic characterization of the setup for measuring the THz power radiated by pulsed photoconductive antenna is discussed. Such characterization is expressed in terms of efficiencies which quantify how much power is lost in the coupling between the various components involved in the measurement setup. The...

Passive imaging cameras at sub-millimeter wave-lengths are currently entering a new era with the development of large format arrays of direct detectors. Several of these arrays are being developed with bare absorbing meshes without any antenna coupling (lens or horn) structures. This paper uses a spectral electromagnetic model to analyze the...

The aim of the European project CONSORTIS is the development of a walk-by imaging system for concealed object detections working at submillimetre-wave frequencies. This imager will allow to image a full body at two frequency bands with high sensitivity (&lt;;1K) and large frame rate (10Hz). The imager relies on a large focal plane array with...

Designing is a multi-dimensional phenomenon and is difficult to describe through one disciplinary research lens only. This paper uses a framework within which multiple theories of designing could be informed of their role and explanatory power. The Product space and Social Space framework describes the scope of designing activities and it allows...
