High-resolution Optical and Electro-optical Microscopy for PV-modules

High-resolution optical diffraction microscopy.

In an optical diffraction microscopy experiment, one measures the phase and amplitude of the field diffracted by the sample and uses an inversion algorithm to reconstruct its map of permittivity. We show that with an iterative procedure accounting for multiple scattering, it is possible to visualize details smaller than lambda/4 with relatively few illumination and observation angles. The roles...

Optical sensor calibration for electro-optical stomatography

We are currently developing a technology called “electrooptical stomatography” to measure and visualize articulatory movements within the vocal tract using electrical contact sensors and optical proximity sensors. To measure tongue movements with the optical sensors in this system, a mapping between the raw sensor values and actual tongue positions has to be determined. This mapping is non-line...

High Resolution Optical Spectroscopy

This experiment will allow you to learn a specific optical technique with applications over a wide variety of phenomena. You will use a commercial spectrometer (a very common piece of equipment in research labs) to obtain the emission wavelengths of particular elements (e.g. mercury, sodium, hydrogen and deuterium) as well as to compare the outputs of gas and solid state lasers. You will be abl...

knowledge based fusion of high resolution radar and optical images for road extraction in urban areas

in this article, a new method for fusion of high resolution optical and radar data for higher quality road extraction is presented. the proposed methodology consists of two stages of separate road detection from each data and knowledge based fusion of results. neural networks are separately applied on high resolution ikonos and terrasar-x images for road detection, using a variety of texture pa...
