Observation of non-reciprocal harmonic conversion in real sounds

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Xinxin Guo

Reciprocity guarantees that in most media, sound transmission is symmetric between two points of space when the location of the source and receiver are interchanged. This fundamental law can be broken in non-linear media, often at the cost of detrimental i ...

High spatial resolution and intrinsically strain-insensitive distributed temperature sensing based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in gas

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

Temperature/strain cross sensitivity is a long-standing issue in Brillouin-based distributed sensors, impairing the reliability of such sensors. So far, all the proposed methods perform the discrimination by measuring two quantities showing distinct respon ...

Assessment of the Influence of Losses on the Performance of the Electromagnetic Time Reversal Fault Location Method

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Reza Razzaghi, Gaspard Lugrin

Electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) has been shown to be an efficient method for locating faults in AC and DC power grids. In the available literature, the back-propagation medium has been considered to have identical losses as the direct-time medium. How ...

Distributed photothermal spectroscopy in microstructured optical fibers: towards high-resolution mapping of gas presence over long distances

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

Chemical sensing using optical fibers is often challenging, as it is generally difficult to achieve strong interaction between the guided light and the analyte at the wavelength of interest for performing the detection. Despite this difficulty, many scheme ...

In Situ Hall Effect Monitoring of Vacuum Annealing of In2O3:H Thin Films

Monica Morales Masis

Hydrogen doped In2O3 thin films were prepared by room temperature sputter deposition with the addition of H2O to the sputter gas. By subsequent vacuum annealing, the films obtain high mobility up to 90 cm(2)/Vs. The films were analyzed in situ by X-ray pho ...

Methods and apparatus for imaging with multimode optical fibers

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Ioannis Papadopoulos, Salma Farahi

A multimode waveguide illuminator and imager relies on a wave front shaping system that acts to compensate for modal scrambling and light dispersion by the multimode waveguide. A first step consists of calibrating the multimode waveguide and a second step ...
