Tachistoscopes allow brief visual stimulation delivery, which is crucial for experiments in which subliminal presentation is required. Up to now, tachistoscopes have had shortcomings with respect to timing accuracy, reliability, and flexibility of use. Her ...
Cavity quantum electrodynamics encompasses the study and control of the interactions between quantum light sources and resonant modes of optical cavities. The subject of this thesis is cavity quantum electrodynamics with semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), w ...
A micro particle shadow velocimetry (mu PSV) system based on back-lit illumination and forward scatter observation of light from non-fluorescent particles has been developed. Relatively high luminous efficiencies and particle image contrasts were achieved ...
A method and computing system are proposed for producing an authenticable security device with two sides. The verso side is covered with a luminescent emissive variable intensity layer formed for example by invisible luminescent ink halftones and the recto ...
The present thesis deals with luminescent compounds based on lanthanide complexes that are suitable for color reproduction and optical document security with invisible luminescent inks. This thesis is divided in two distinct fields: chemistry, which produc ...
We present a detailed study of biexciton complexes formed in single, site-controlled pyramidal GaInAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs). By using power dependent measurements and photon correlation spectroscopy, we identify the excitonic transitions of a large numbe ...
