Coherent backscattering is due to constructive interferences of reciprocal paths and leads to an enhancement of the intensity of a multiply scattered field near its source. To observe this enhancement an array of receivers is conventionally…
Ultrasound imaging faces a trade-off between image quality and hardware complexity caused by dense transducers. Sparse arrays are one popular solution to mitigate this challenge. This work proposes an end-to-end optimization framework that…
Extreme ultraviolet pulses as generated by high harmonic generation (HHG) are a powerful tool for both time-resolved spectroscopy and coherent diffractive imaging. However, the integration of spectroscopy and microscopy to harness the…
Biomedical applications requiring tissue diagnosis, activation, and treatment could be substantially leveraged by optical methods, owing to their unique feature set. However, their widespread application is severely limited by the strong…
Exceptional points, where eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce, impact the behavior of different photonics components that show, e.g., enhanced sensing, coherent perfect absorption, unidirectional lasing, and chirality. However, only a few…
Robotic ultrasound (US) imaging has been seen as a promising solution to overcome the limitations of free-hand US examinations, i.e., inter-operator variability. However, the fact that robotic US systems cannot react to subject movements…
We study coherent wave scattering through waveguides with a step-like surface disorder and find distinct enhancements in the reflection coefficients at well-defined resonance values. Based on detailed numerical and analytical calculations,…
Ultrasound is an adjunct tool to mammography that can quickly and safely aid physicians with diagnosing breast abnormalities. Clinical ultrasound often assumes a constant sound speed to form B-mode images for diagnosis. However, the various…
Multipath effects significantly influence the quality of microwave imaging in highly reflective environments, while the physical measurement aperture size constrains resolution. It is shown that by exploiting multipath reflections, improved…
The multi-billion dollar, worldwide medical ultrasound (US) market continues to grow annually. Its non-ionizing nature, real-time capabilities and relatively low cost, compared to other imaging modalities, have led to significant…
Established image recovery methods in fast ultrasound imaging, e.g. delay-and-sum, trade the image quality for the high frame rate. Cutting-edge inverse scattering methods based on compressed sensing (CS) disrupt this tradeoff via a priori…
Efficient manipulation of light with sound in subwavelength-sized volumes is important for applications in photonics, phononics and biophysics, but remains elusive. We theoretically demonstrate the control of light with MHz-range ultrasound…
Research in ultrasound imaging is limited in reproducibility by two factors: First, many existing ultrasound pipelines are protected by intellectual property, rendering exchange of code difficult. Second, most pipelines are implemented in…
An ultrasonic Positioning System (UPS) has outperformed RF-based systems in terms of its accuracy for years. However, few of the developed solutions have been deployed in practice to satisfy the localization demand of today's smart devices,…
The method of superposition is proposed in combination with a sparse $\ell_1$ optimisation algorithm with the aim of finding a sparse basis to accurately reconstruct the structural vibrations of a radiating object from a set of acoustic…
Despite its wide use in medicine, ultrasound imaging faces several challenges related to its poor signal-to-noise ratio and several sources of noise and artefacts. Enhancing ultrasound image quality involves balancing concurrent factors…
Photoacoustic imaging can achieve high-resolution three-dimensional visualization of optical absorbers at penetration depths ~ 1 cm in biological tissues by detecting optically-induced high ultrasound frequencies. Tomographic acquisition…
Various imaging techniques have significantly enhanced our ability to visualize objects embedded within complex media such as biological tissues, fog, atmosphere, or various turbid media. Optical imaging, in particular, offers multiple…
The parametric optimization for the ultrasound computed tomography system is introduced. It is hypothesized that the pulse characteristic directly affects the information present in the reconstructed profile. The ultrasound excitation modes…
Reflective and textureless surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and walls can be a challenge for object and scene reconstruction. These surfaces are often poorly reconstructed and filled with depth discontinuities and holes, making it…
