Medical image registration is a difficult problem. Not only a registration algorithm needs to capture both large and small scale image deformations, it also has to deal with global and local image intensity variations. In this paper we…
We develop a general method for customizing the intensity statistics of speckle patterns on a target plane. By judiciously modulating the phase-front of a monochromatic laser beam, we experimentally generate speckle patterns with…
A new method for measuring the linewidth enhancement factor of a laser is proposed. It is based on frequency-modulated optical injection, combined with dual-frequency laser operation. The linewidth enhancement factor {\alpha} is deduced…
Collisions between electrons and radiating atoms broaden spectral absorption and emission lines in dense plasmas. High densities also introduce screening and pressure ionization effects that distort the wavefunctions of both bound and free…
Well-calibrated spectropolarimetry studies at resolutions of $R>$10,000 with signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) better than 0.01\% across individual line profiles, are becoming common with larger aperture telescopes. Spectropolarimetric studies…
We examine the problem of performing simultaneous and coplanar Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) measurements in a stratified fluid initially at rest. Our focus is on enabling detailed velocity and…
Spectral measurements in the infrared (IR) optical range provide unique fingerprints of materials which are useful for material analysis, environmental sensing, and health diagnostics. Current IR spectroscopy techniques require the use of…
Unsupervised intrinsic image decomposition (IID) is the process of separating a natural image into albedo and shade without these ground truths. A recent model employing light detection and ranging (LiDAR) intensity demonstrated impressive…
Techniques in frequency stabilization of lasers to fixed-spacer optical cavities have advanced to the point where the ultimate frequency stabilities are limited by thermal noise in the cavity materials for standard cavity configurations at…
The ITER Heating Neutral Beams (HNBs) require large, high-energy H/D atom beams (285/330 A/m^2 extracted current density, and 1/0.87 MeV acceleration energy, respectively for H and D). To address the associated challenges, the SPIDER…
We report the first results of a systematic investigation to characterize blazar variability power spectral densities (PSDs) at optical frequencies using densely sampled (5--15 minutes integration time), high photometric accuracy…
Line intensity mapping (LIM) has emerged as a promising tool for probing the 3D large-scale structure through the aggregate emission of spectral lines. The presence of interloper lines poses a crucial challenge in extracting the signal from…
We present results of a deep spectroscopic survey designed to quantify the statistics of the escape of ionizing photons from star-forming galaxies at z~3. We measure the ratio of ionizing to non-ionizing UV flux density <f900/f1500>_obs,…
Continuous Wave Laser Beam (LB) melting offers control over the localized heating and cooling of melt pools for welding, brazing, additive manufacturing, and solidification. Research into laser-liquid metal interactions have primarily…
It is proposed to use apertures with large acceptance angles to reduce the integration time when studying the emissivity of laser induced plasmas by means of the Abel inversion method. The spatial resolution lost due to contributions of…
We propose a method to continuously frequency shift a target laser that is frequency stabilized by a reference laser, which is several hundreds of nanometers detuned. We demonstrate the technique using the 5S 1/2 to 5P 3/2 to 29D 5/2…
Aims: We provide an open-source code allowing an easy, intuitive, and robust normalisation of spectra. Methods: We developed RASSINE, a Python code for normalising merged 1D spectra through the concepts of convex hulls. The code uses six…
In this paper, we consider informative potentialities of the "active" optical noise spectroscopy, under which we understand, generally, spectroscopy of response of a multilevel quantum system to the resonant optical field with its intensity…
A fundamental limit to the stability of a single-ion optical frequency standard is set by quantum noise in the measurement of the internal state of the ion. We discuss how the interrogation sequence and the processing of the atomic…
We study the physical properties of a homogeneous sample of 157 optically-thick absorption line systems at redshifts ~1.8-4.4, selected from a high-dispersion spectroscopic survey of Lyman limit systems (LLSs). By means of multiple…
