Bohlin, G.A. (author)We develop simultaneous ultrafast CARS thermometry and species detection as a unique tool to investigate combustion modes with reduced emissions of NOx, particulates, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) has been developed over the last 4 decades for various gas-phase-, plasma-, flame- and combustion...abstract 2018

Konijnenberg, A.P. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)This book treats optics at the level of students in the later stage of their bachelor or the beginning of their master. It is assumed that the student is familiar with Maxwell’s equations. Although the book takes account of the fact that optics is part of electromagnetism, special emphasis is put on the usefulness of approximate models of optics...book 2021

Maddalena, L. (author), Pozzi, Paolo (author), Ceffa, Nicolò G. (author), Hoeven, Bas van der (author), Carroll, E.C.M. (author)Light-sheet microscopy is a powerful method for imaging small translucent samples in vivo, owing to its unique combination of fast imaging speeds, large field of view, and low phototoxicity. This chapter briefly reviews state-of-the-art technology for variations of light-sheet microscopy. We review recent examples of optogenetics in...book chapter 2023

Tokovinin, A. (author), Thomas, S. (author), Vdovin, G. (author)Membrane micro-machined deformable mirrors (MMDM) feature low cost, low power consumption, small size and absence of hysteresis. Interested in using such a device for the adaptive optics system at the SOAR 4.1-m telescope, we evaluated the performance of a 79-channel 50-mm (pupil size 35mm) MMDM from OKO Technologies. The measured influence...conference paper 2004

Mathis, C. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author)Encapsulation of reactive agents embedded within a matrix is the most studied concept to develop self-healing materials. The most common approaches employ either a single component with catalyst dispersed in the matrix or a single environment-reactive component for corrosion protection [1]. Recently an approach for corrosion protection based on...conference paper 2013

Kuipers, F.A. (author), Beshir, A.A. (author), Orda, A. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Physical impairments, such as noise and signal distortions, negatively affect the quality of information transfer in optical networks. The effect of physical impairments predominantly augments with distance and bit rate of the signal to the point that it becomes detrimental to the information transfer. To reverse the effect of physical...conference paper 2010

Shakeri, S.M. (author), Hulsken, B. (author), Van Vliet, L.J. (author), Stallinga, S. (author)Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) systems are used in the emerging field of digital pathology for capturing high-resolution images of tissue slides at high throughput. We present a technique to measure the optical aberrations of WSI systems using a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor as a function of field position. The resulting full-field aberration maps...conference paper 2015

Vdovin, G. (author), Loktev, M. (author), Simonov, A. (author), Kiyko, V. (author), Volkov, S. (author)We designed and built an experimental setup for subjective (manually controlled) correction of up to 12 orthogonal terms (excluding tilts and defocus) of the aberration of the human eye. In our experiments, the subject was looking through an adaptive optical system at the USAF resolution chart. By using the arrow keys of the computer keyboard,...conference paper 2005

(author), Minaeva, O. (author)We have fabricated fiber-coupled superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs), designed for quantum-correlationtype experiments. The SSPDs are nanostructured (~100-nm wide and 4-nm thick) NbN superconducting meandering stripes, operated in the 2 to 4.2 K temperature range, and known for ultrafast and efficient detection of visible to...conference paper 2007

It can be a valuable tool for understanding and classifying optical systems. Furthermore, it possesses properties that make it suitable for optical simulations: both the intensity and the angular spectrum can be easily obtained from the WDF and the...conference paper 2015

Bociort, F. (author), Van Grol, P. (author)In this paper we describe new properties of the design landscape that could lead in the future to a new way to determine good starting points for subsequent local optimization. While in optimization the focus is usually only on local minima, here we show that points selected in the vicinity of other types of critical points (i.e. points where...conference paper 2010

(author)We discuss the previously-reported measurements of a three-beam nulling interferometer without achromatic phase-shifters, using delay lines only. The theoretical rejection ratio of a few thousand has not been achieved experimentally. In order to explain the obtained results, some direct spectral and polarization measurements have been performed....conference paper 2006

Marinescu, O. (author), Bociort, F. (author)The merit function space of mirror systems for EUV lithography is studied. Local minima situated in a multidimensional merit function space are connected via links that contain saddle points and form a network. In this work we present the first networks for EUV lithographic objectives and discuss how these networks change when control parameters...conference paper 2005

van Driel, E. (author), Bociort, F. (author), Serebriakov, A. (author)We have shown recently that, when certain quite general conditions are satisfied, the set of local minima in the optical merit function space forms a network where they are all connected through optimization paths generated from saddle points having a Morse index of 1. A new global optimization method, that makes use of this linking network to...conference paper 2004
