We propose a novel basis of vector functions, the mixed vector spherical harmonics that are closely related to the functions $F_{lm}$ of Sheppard and T\"or\"ok and help us reduce the concentration problem of tangential vector fields within…
Incoherent light is ubiquitous, yet designing optical devices that can handle its random nature is very challenging, since directly averaging over many incoherent incident beams can require a huge number of scattering calculations. We show…
This work investigates near-field focusing using a three-dimensional (3D) large intelligent surface (LIS) across frequencies and polarizations. Specifically, the LIS elements are distributed in 3D space within a long corridor, rather than…
We construct spherical vector bases that are bandlimited and spatially concentrated, or, alternatively, spacelimited and spectrally concentrated, suitable for the analysis and representation of real-valued vector fields on the surface of…
A numerical scheme is presented to solve the one source near field refractor problem to arbitrary precision and it is proved that the scheme terminates in a finite number of iterations. The convergence of the algorithm depends upon proving…
Consider the problem of finding an optimal value of some objective functional subject to constraints over numerical domain. This type of problem arises frequently in practical engineering tasks. Nowdays almost all general methods for…
Highly confined vectorial electromagnetic field distributions represent an excellent tool for detailed studies in nano-optics and high resolution microscopy, such as nonlinear microscopy, advanced fluorescence imaging or nanoplasmonics.…
Due to the uncertainty principle, a function cannot be simultaneously limited in space as well as in frequency. The idea of Slepian functions in general is to find functions that are at least optimally spatio-spectrally localised. Here, we…
Conventional stereoscopic displays suffer from vergence-accommodation conflict and cause visual fatigue. Integral-imaging-based displays resolve the problem by directly projecting the sub-aperture views of a light field into the eyes using…
This article gives a ``fundamental solution'' based energy-norm harmonic interpolation approach for two half-space settings of interest: the upper-half $\mathbb{R}^n$ plane, where fundamental solutions satisfy Laplace's equation, and the…
We consider the inverse refractor and the inverse reflector problem. The task is to design a free-form lens or a free-form mirror that, when illuminated by a point light source, produces a given illumination pattern on a target. Both…
We design lenses composed of a combination of standard freeform refracting surface and flat metasurface refracting an arbitrary incident field into a collimated beam with a fixed direction. In the near-field case, we study the existence of…
The far field refractor problem with a discrete target is solved with a numerical scheme that uses and simplify ideas from Caffarelli, Kochengin and Oliker. A numerical implementation is carried out and examples are shown.
In this work we present a simple code to calculate tightly focused vectorial light fields (propagating and evanescent) generated by input fields that have arbitrary amplitude, phase and polarization. The program considers results from…
The focus of this thesis is the construction and analysis of efficient representations in nonlinear signal processing, and the applications of these structures to inverse problems in a variety of fields. The work is composed of three major…
This paper focuses on inverse problems arising in studying multi-population aggregations. The goal is to reconstruct the diffusion coefficient, advection coefficient, and interaction kernels of the aggregation system, which characterize the…
Integrating inverse rendering with multi-view photometric stereo (MVPS) yields more accurate 3D reconstructions than the inverse rendering approaches that rely on fixed environment illumination. However, efficient inverse rendering with…
A new strategy based on numerical homogenization and Bayesian techniques for solving multiscale inverse problems is introduced. We consider a class of elliptic problems which vary at a microscopic scale, and we aim at recovering the highly…
Slepian functions provide a solution to the optimization problem of joint time-frequency localization. Here, this concept is extended by using a generalized optimization criterion that favors energy concentration in one interval while…
Slepian functions are orthogonal function systems that live on subdomains (for example, geographical regions on the Earth's surface, or bandlimited portions of the entire spectrum). They have been firmly established as a useful tool for the…
