Finding Second-Order Stationary Points in Constrained Minimization: A Feasible Direction Approach

Shaul Nadav Hallak

This paper introduces a method for computing points satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonconvex minimization problems subject to a closed and convex constraint set. The method comprises two independent steps corresponding to t ...

Super-resolution imaging of multiple cells by optimized flat-field epi-illumination

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Christian Sieben, Anna Archetti, Ambroise Justin Lambert

Biological processes are inherently multi-scale, and supramolecular complexes at the nanoscale determine changes at the cellular scale and beyond. Single-molecule localizationmicroscopy (SMLM)(1-3) techniques have been established as important tools for st ...

Aberrations of the point spread function of a multimode fiber due to partial mode excitation

Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux

We investigate the point spread function of a multimode fiber. The distortion of the focal spot created on the fiber output facet is studied for a variety of the parameters. We develop a theoretical model of wavefront shaping through a multimode fiber and ...

Portfolio construction under information asymmetry

Lionel Coulot

We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...

Huygens-Fresnel diffraction and evanescent waves

Demetri Psaltis

Based on a modified Huygens-Fresnel principle valid in the near field, we analytically verify the exponential wave decay of evanescent waves. This field decay along the propagation direction can be considered as the result of interference between elementar ...

Photonic Nanojet engineering: Focal point shaping with scattering phenomena of dielectric microspheres

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We experimentally engineer Nanojets produced by dielectric spheres by varying the illumination and observe the effect with a high-resolution interference microscope (HRIM). Converging and diverging spherical wavefronts and Bessel- Gauss beams are considere ...

Coherence and wavefront characterization of Si-111 monochromators using double-grating interferometry

Christian David

A study of the coherence and wavefront properties of a pseudo-channel-cut monochromator in comparison with a double-crystal monochromator is presented. Using a double-grating interferometer designed for the hard X-ray regime, the complex coherence factor w ...

Theoretical Investigation of Iterative Phase Retrieval Algorithm for Quasi-Optical Millimeter-Wave RF Beams

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge

In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the iterative phase retrieval approach (TPRA) for determining the phase profile of the output microwave beam of a gyrotron from known intensity patterns emphasizing the field propagation techniques which are ...

Numerical aberrations compensation and polarization imaging in digital holographic microscopy

Tristan Colomb

In this thesis, we describe a method for the numerical reconstruction of the complete wavefront properties from a single digital hologram: the amplitude, the phase and the polarization state. For this purpose, we present the principle of digital holographi ...

Purely numerical compensation for microscope objective phase curvature in digital holographic microscopy: influence of digital phase mask position

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière

Introducing a microscope objective in an interferometric setup induces a phase curvature on the resulting wavefront. In digital holography, the compensation of this curvature is often done by introducing an identical curvature in the reference arm and the ...

Multiple scattering in optical coherence tomography. I. Investigation and modeling

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Marcel Leutenegger, Stéphane Bourquin, Markus Laubscher

We present a new model of optical coherence tomography (OCT) taking into account multiple scattering. A theoretical analysis and experimental investigation reveals that in OCT, despite multiple scattering, the field backscattered from the sample is general ...
