Title: Computational microscopy for multi-dimensional and multi-contrast imaging Abstract: High-resolution, high-throughput imaging of large, multicellular biological structures remains a major challenge in microscopy. In this talk, I will introduce advanced multi-dimensional imaging platforms developed in our lab for 2.5D and 3D imaging of biological specimens. The first technology, the E2E-BPF microscope, enables large-area, high-resolution imaging of large-scale objects without the need for …
CREOL CalendarTalk title: Light a path for quantum sensing Talk abstract: Lasers and quantum science have fueled revolutionary developments in atomic, molecular, and fundamental physics. Scaling up quantum systems to ever increasing sizes promises to revolutionize the performance of atomic clocks and open new discovery opportunities. Quantum technology has brought tens of thousands of atoms to minute-long coherence times, enabling the …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Pioneering Optical Coating Technology for Space Exploration with Gravitational Waves - Precision Metrology at the Thermodynamic Limit Abstract: The world-wide effort to detect gravitational waves has lifted the veil on a gravitational sky full of violent cosmic events with rich stories to tell. The sensitivities of the current observatories - marvels of precision engineering and optical metrology - have evolved to …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Eyes on the Sky, Nowhere to Hide: Challenges in Full Sky Space Domain Awareness and Communications Abstract: When satellites are lower than thirty degrees above the horizon, the non-negligible path length through the atmosphere exceeds 100 km. Operations in this regime are sometimes referred to as being "in the soup" because turbulence effects dominate both seeing and optical communications. …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Optics à la mode – a new way of making, using and understanding optics Abstract: Modern micro and nano fabrication now let us make complex and highly functional optics. Examples include sophisticated metasurfaces and highly programmable and even self-configuring silicon photonic interferometer meshes, with many potential applications in areas such as imaging, sensing and communications. Such systems are, however, …
