Cathodoluminescent screen imaging system for seeded blob detection in toroidal plasma experiment

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Paul Bowen, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Carlos Morais, Fabian Manke

We designed and built a diagnostic based on a cathodoluminescent screen for the detection of turbulent plasma structures with high spatial resolution. The screen is coated with a low threshold energy cathodoluminescent powder that emits light when exposed ...

Improved inter-tube coupling in CNT bundles through carbon ion irradiation

William Curtin

Carbon ion irradiation of carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles to enhance mechanical performance is investigated using classical molecular dynamics. Strategies to achieve inter-tube cross-linking for improved shear response without a drastic reduction in tensile ...

Intrinsic Emittance Reduction of an Electron Beam from Metal Photocathodes

Christoph Peter Hauri

Electron beams in modern linear accelerators are now becoming limited in brightness by the intrinsic emittance of the photocathode electron source. Therefore it becomes important for large scale facilities such as free electron lasers to reduce this fundam ...

Material-Based Object Segmentation Using Near-Infrared Information

Sabine Süsstrunk, Neda Salamati

We present a framework to incorporate near-infrared (NIR) information into algorithms to better segment objects by isolating material boundaries from color and shadow edges. Most segmentation algorithms assign individual regions to parts of the object that ...

Image Reconstruction in the Gigavision Camera

Martin Vetterli, Edoardo Charbon, Sabine Süsstrunk, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang

Recently we have proposed a new image device called the gigavision camera. The main feature of this camera is that the pixels have a binary response. The response function of a gigavision sensor is non-linear and similar to a logarithmic function, which ma ...

Frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging for endoscopic clinical cancer photodetection: Apparatus design and preliminary results

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, André Studzinski

We describe a new fluorescence imaging device for clin. cancer photodetection in hollow organs in which the tumor/normal tissue contrast is derived from the fluorescence lifetime of endogenous or exogenous fluorochromes. This fluorescence lifetime contrast ...
