Performant astronomical image processing with Python
(2023-06-12) - ThesisImage processing is fundamental to observational astronomy workflows. Astronomers acquire imaging data, and process the imagery to extract useful information. This thesis introduces two new image processing algorithms. The ... -
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy for biomedicine
(2023-06-12) - ThesisThe research motivation behind this thesis is to expand the information that can currently be extracted from an ex vivo biological sample via light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) by enhancing the achievable resolution ... -
On speckle patterns : integrating spheres, metrology, and beyond
(2023-06-12) - ThesisSpeckle patterns are grainy intensity patterns resulting from the random interference of light. They often arise from the interaction of light with systems that have a complex structure at the scale of the wavelength. As ... -
Pathways towards single-polariton nonlinearity : from ground state exciton-polariton condensates in GaAs to Rydberg exciton-polaritons in Cu₂O
(2023-06-12) - ThesisThis work explores several routes towards achieving single-polariton nonlinearity. Exciton-polaritons are part-light part-matter quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling of excitons and cavity photons in micron-sized ...
