State-of-the-art laser frequency stabilization is limited by miniscule length changes caused by thermal noise. In this work, a cavity-length-insensitive frequency stabilization scheme is implemented using strong dispersion in a…
Phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PhS-OCT) enables precise, contactless measurements of temperature-dependent changes in transparent solids. In this work, we used a common-path spectral-domain OCT system to measure optical path…
In parametric down conversion, a nonlinear crystal is pumped by a laser and spontaneous emission takes place in signal and idler modes according to the phase matching conditions. A seed laser can stimulate the emission in the signal beam if…
Point Spread Function (PSF) engineering is used in single emitter localization to measure the emitter position in 3D and possibly other parameters such as the emission color or dipole orientation as well. Advanced PSF models such as spline…
In this work we present results of the analysis of thermal properties of high-power laser bars obtained by spatially resolved thermoreflectance (TR) spectroscopy. Thermoreflectance is a modulation technique relying on periodic facet…
Aims:Calibrating the point spread function (PSF) is a fundamental part of weak gravitational lensing analyses. Even with corrected galaxy images, imperfect calibrations can introduce biases. We propose an analytical framework for…
In this paper we analyze the image formation problem for undulator radiation through an optical system, accounting for the influence of the electron beam emittance. On the one hand, image formation with Synchrotron Radiation is governed by…
A theoretical description in terms of the coherence propagation is given for self-focussing. The concept of coherence length is defined in terms of free, self-focussing propagation giving results in accordance with well known experimental…
Phase aberration is an inherent side effect of ultrasound imaging due to the speed of sound inhomogeneity nature of human tissues, resulting in focusing error and reduced image contrast. This work introduces a phase aberration correction…
We forecast the detectability of the lensing footprint of a collapsing cosmic texture, a topological defect proposed as an explanation of the CMB Cold Spot. Our pipeline is a quadratic, template-amplitude estimator for localized,…
Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) is a label-free technique that enables to monitor morphological changes at subcellular level. The performance of the QPM system in terms of spatial sensitivity and resolution depends on the coherence…
I present a semiclassical analysis of a spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) measurement scheme for far-field incoherent optical imaging under the effects of diffraction and photon shot noise. Building on previous results that assume two…
We consider the problem of estimating the spatial separation between two mutually incoherent point light sources using the super-resolution imaging technique based on spatial mode demultiplexing with noisy detectors. We show that in the…
We present the first three-dimensional theoretical model of microparticle-assisted super-resolution imaging, enabling accurate simulation of virtual image formation. The model reveals that accounting for partial spatial coherence of…
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) has reached nanometer spatial resolution for measurements performed at ambient conditions and sub-nanometer resolution at ultra high vacuum. Super-resolution (beyond the tip apex diameter) TERS has…
Despite the fact that incandescent sources are usually spatially incoherent, it has been known for some time that a proper design of a thermal source can modify its spatial coherence. A natural question is whether it is possible to extend…
The ability to dynamically steer fs pulses from a monolithically integrated source is a critical milestone for the fields of nanophotonics and ultrafast optics. The nascent field of reconfigurable metasurfaces -- made of optically resonant…
The aim of this paper is to study the astrometric trajectory of microlensing events with an extended lens and/or source. We consider not only a dark lens but also a luminous lens as well. We find that the discontinuous finite-lens…
The possibility of focusing light to an ever tighter spot has important implications for many applications and fields of optics research, such as nano-optics and plasmonics, laser-scanning microscopy, optical data storage and many more. The…
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) employs sub-picosecond pulses to probe dielectric properties of materials giving as a result a 3-dimensional hyperspectral data cube. The spatial resolution of THz images is primarily limited by…
