Optical module for single-shot quantitative phase imaging based on the transport of intensity equation with field of view multiplexing
2021
We present a cost-effective, simple, and robust method that enables single-shot quantitative phase imaging (QPI) based on the transport of intensity equation (TIE) using an add-on optical module that can be assembled into the exit port of any regular microscope. The module integrates a beamsplitter (BS) cube (placed in a non-conventional way) for duplicating the output image onto the digital sensor (field of view – FOV – multiplexing), a Stokes lens (SL) for astigmatism compensation (introduced by the BS cube), and an optical quality glass plate over one of the FOV halves for defocusing generation (needed for single-shot TIE algorithm). Altogether, the system provides two laterally separate…
Four channels multi-illumination single-holographic-exposure lensless Fresnel (MISHELF) microscopy
2018
Abstract MISHELF microscopy [Opt. Express 23, 21352 (2015)] has been recently reported as the background technology of a new concept of compact, cost-effective and field-portable lensless microscope [Sci. Rep. 7, 43291 (2017)] based on wavelength multiplexing and a fast and robust algorithm for twin image minimization and noise reduction. In this manuscript, MISHELF microscopy is expanded beyond its actual configuration by considering 4 illumination/detection channels while retaining its working principle concerning single-shot, twin image mitigation and noise averaging. Proof of principle validation of the proposed improvement is conducted through experiments with a resolution test target …
Hilbert-Huang single-shot spatially multiplexed interferometric microscopy.
2018
Hilbert-Huang single-shot spatially multiplexed interferometric microscopy (H2S2MIM) is presented as the implementation of a robust, fast, and accurate single-shot phase estimation algorithm with an extremely simple, low-cost, and highly stable way to convert a bright field microscope into a holographic one using partially coherent illumination. Altogether, H2S2MIM adds high-speed (video frame rate) quantitative phase imaging capability to a commercially available nonholographic microscope with improved phase reconstruction (coherence noise reduction). The technique has been validated using a 20×/0.46 NA objective in a regular Olympus BX-60 upright microscope for static, as well as dynamic…
Generation of two-mode quantum states of light with timing controllable memories
2020
We created and experimentally verified two-mode entangled states of light, α|0,1⟩ + βe*+|1,0⟩, by means of two phase-sensitive optical quantum memories. The release timing of each optical mode can be independently controlled for up to 400 ns.
NTD-GE-based microcalorimeter performance
2000
Our group has been developing x-ray microcalorimeters consisting of neutron transmutation doped (NTD) germanium thermistors attached to superconducting tin absorbers. We discuss the performance of single pixel x-ray detectors, and describe an array technology. In this paper we describe the read-out circuit that allows us to measure fast signals in our detectors as this will be important in understanding the primary cause of resolution broadening. We describe briefly a multiplexing scheme that allows a number of different calorimeters to be read out using a single JFET. We list the possible causes of broadening and give a description of the experiment which best demonstrates the cause of the…
The ATLAS tile calorimeter ROD injector and multiplexer board
2011
Abstract The ATLAS Tile Calorimeter is a sampling detector composed by cells made of iron-scintillator tiles. The calorimeter cell signals are digitized in the front-end electronics and transmitted to the Read-Out Drivers (RODs) at the first level trigger rate. The ROD receives triggered data from up to 9856 channels and provides the energy, phase and quality factor of the signals to the second level trigger. The back-end electronics is divided into four partitions containing eight RODs each. Therefore, a total of 32 RODs are used to process and transmit the data of the TileCal detector. In order to emulate the detector signals in the production and commissioning of ROD modules a board call…
The muX project
2021
The project is conducting a series of muonic X-ray measurements in medium- and high-Z nuclei at PSI, utilizing a high-purity germanium detector array, in-beam muon detectors, and a modern digital data-acquisition system. A novel hydrogen target for muon transfer was developed, enabling measurements with as little as a few micrograms of target material. First measurements with radioactive Cm and Ra targets were conducted, aimed at determining their nuclear charge radii. These serve as important input for upcoming atomic parity violation experiments. The apparatus is also used to perform a feasibility study of an atomic parity violation experiment with the 2s-1s2s−1s muonic X-ray transition. …
Evaluation of all-optical demultiplexing in millimeter-wave subcarrier-system for wireless communication
2006
In this paper, a scheme for multiplexing millimeter-wave carriers on a single optical carrier and using an all-optical millimeter-wave demultiplexer is presented. The optical demultiplexing of radio-over-fiber signals is based on dual sideband modulation with suppressed optical carrier combined with the filtering properties of dual over-written fiber Bragg gratings. The performance of the system is investigated using a single optical carrier and independent data modulated millimeter-wave signals at 20 and 40 GHz. The signals are transmitted over optical fiber, demultiplexed and wirelessly distributed to a mobile unit. It is found that performance of the demultiplexing using fiber Bragg grat…

2006
We numerically study the limits of the terrestrial optical fiber systems as a function of the bit rate. In particular, we compare for 160-, 320- and 640-Gbit/s the limits of single channel and WDM configurations.
