Optical multidimensional coherent SPECTROSCOPY

Coherent multidimensional optical spectroscopy.

Multidimensional optical techniques, the focus of this special issue, are analogues of their NMR counterparts; that is, rather than using spin transitions as little spies within a molecule, we use vibrational or optical transitions. Similar to NMR, the spectroscopic states often respond in a very sensitive way to their chemical environment. By modeling the coupling of one of these states to eit...

Optimum broadband beamforming for coherent broadband signals and interferences

The problem of optimum broadband beamforming using linear arrays is considered with a view to avoid signal cancellation that normally results when signal-correlated interferences are present in the environment. The optimum approaches proposed here are based on a harmonic model for signals and interferences on the one hand, and a convenient characterization of the signal-free interference subspa...

Multidimensional adaptive radio links for broadband communications

Advanced multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver structures which utilize the knowledge of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side to optimize certain link parameters (e.g., throughput, fairness, spectral efficiency, etc.) under different constraints (e.g., maximum transmitted power, minimum quality of services (QoS), etc.) are considered in this thesis. Adaptive trans...

Broadband Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering

Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microspectroscopy is a unique label-free imaging modality that provides detailed chemical information at each pixel. In minutes, this technique captures a “hyperspectral” cube that co-registers microscopic spatial features with chemical signatures, sensitive to molecular content and structure. This technique can delve into the molecular in...
