The European Space Agency's Euclid mission is one of the upcoming generation of large-scale cosmology surveys, which will map the large-scale structure in the Universe with unprecedented precision. The development and validation of the SGS…
Frequency upconversion technique offers an appealing approach for sensitive mid-infrared (MIR) imaging at room temperature. However, the spatial resolution of the upconversion imager has been notoriously restricted by the limited transverse…
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) can deliver high-contrast, video-rate, non-contact imaging of tumor-targeted contrast agents with the potential to guide surgeries excising solid tumors. However, it has been met with skepticism for…
We make predictions for the cosmological surveys to be conducted by the future Herschel mission operating in the far-infrared. The far-infrared bands match the peak of the CIRB, the brightest background of astrophysical origin. Therefore,…
We describe the data processing pipeline developed to reduce the pointing observation data of Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT), which belongs to the Chang'e-3 mission of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program. The pointing observation…
Radiometric infrared (IR) imaging is a valuable technique for remote-sensing applications in precision agriculture, such as irrigation monitoring, crop health assessment, and yield estimation. Low-cost uncooled non-radiometric IR cameras…
Hyperspectral imaging provides high-dimensional spatial-temporal-spectral information revealing intrinsic matter characteristics. Here we report an on-chip computational hyperspectral imaging framework with high spatial and temporal…
Photometric instruments operating at far infrared to millimetre wavelengths often have broad spectral passbands (central wavelength/bandwidth ~ 3 or less), especially those operating in space. A broad passband can result in significant…
The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025…
The Euclid mission is generating a vast amount of imaging data in four broadband filters at high angular resolution. This will allow the detailed study of mass, metallicity, and stellar populations across galaxies, which will constrain…
{Context}. The HIFI instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory performed over 9100 astronomical observations, almost 900 of which were calibration observations in the course of the nearly four-year Herschel mission. The data from each…
Quasar microlensing flux ratios are used to unveil properties of the lenses in large collections of lensed quasars, like the ones expected to be produced by the Euclid survey. This is achieved by using the direct survey products, without…
We propose an integrated snapshot near-infrared hyperspectral imaging framework that combines designed DOE with NIRSA-Net. The results demonstrate near-infrared spectral imaging at 700-1000nm with 10nm resolution while achieving improvement…
The Euclid ERO programme targeted the Perseus cluster of galaxies, gathering deep data in the central region of the cluster over 0.7 square degree, corresponding to approximately 0.25 r_200. The data set reaches a point-source depth of…

We demonstrate a photon-sensitive, three-dimensional camera by active near-infrared illumination and fast time-of-flight gating. It uses pico-second pump pulses to selectively up-convert the backscattered photons according to their…
Context. Future weak lensing surveys, such as the Euclid mission, will attempt to measure the shapes of billions of galaxies in order to derive cosmological information. These surveys will attain very low levels of statistical error, and…
