Optical-coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique that employs light in order to measure the internal structure of semi-transparent, e.g. biological, samples. It is based on the interference pattern of low-coherence light. Quantum-OCT…
Image sensors hold a pivotal role in society due to their ability to capture vast amounts of information. Traditionally, image sensors are opaque due to light absorption in both the pixels and the read-out electronics that are stacked on…
The Raman effect -- inelastic scattering of light by lattice vibrations (phonons) -- produces an optical response closely tied to a material's crystal structure. Here we show that resonant optical excitation of IR and Raman phonons gives…
