Son, Dongjin (author)In this work, a SPAD-based LiDAR system is studied. In particular, the system employs a direct time-of-flight (dToF) method to reconstruct a target-reflected pulses using histogram, from which the distance to the target is estimated. More particularly, a time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method has been used to record the flight...master thesis 2022

Brookman, Jasper (author)Conventional semiconductor diodes dissipate energy in the form of heat when current passes through them. This is unwanted in, for example, cryogenic environments. Using a superconducting diode could mitigate this problem. These have been made by using special materials or combining multiple different circuit elements. We provide a systematic...bachelor thesis 2022

Benkner, Simon (author), Herzog, Alexander (author), Klir, Stefan (author), van Driel, W.D. (author), Khanh, Tran Quoc (author)The unique radiative, photometric and colorimetric characteristic of a light-emitting diode is derived from its spectral power distribution. Modeling such characteristics with respect to the forward current, temperature or operating time has been subject of various studies. Deriving a simple analytical model, however, is not trivial due to the...journal article 2022

Cao, Yixing (author), Chen, Wei (author), Du, Yunjia (author), Qi, Gaojin (author), Santos, Thebano (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)YAG: Ce3+ phosphor/silicone composites are widely used in solid-state lighting as a light converter to achieve white lighting. However, because of high thermal resistance and low thermal stability, the luminous performance of YAG: Ce3+ phosphor/silicone composite deteriorates rapidly when excited by high-power-density blue-laser. To explore...journal article 2022

van Heumen, Saskia (author)Lymphedema is the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the intersitium (i.e., dermal backflow (DBF)), causing swelling. It is a commonly seen due to iatrogenic damage to the lymphatics after surgical and radiotherapeutic treatment of cancer. An important microsurgical treatment is lymphovenous bypass (LVB) surgery, during which a lymphatic...master thesis 2021

Houwink, Quint (author)Optical microscopes are fundamentally limited to a resolution of several hundreds of nanometers by the diffraction of light. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) circumvents this limit by sparsely exciting fluorescent molecules at different time instances. Single molecules can subsequently be localized with improved precision over the...master thesis 2021
