Samanta, Goutam Kumar (Date of defense: 2009-07-01)
This thesis presents the development of a new class of high-power, continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) with extended tunability from visible to near-infrared (near-IR). While lasers have been in use ...
Sánchez Bautista, Enrique (Date of defense: 2015-11-26)
High-power, stable, high-repetition-rate, picosecond ultraviolet (UV) sources are of crucial importance for a variety of applications, such as atmospheric sensing, spectroscopy or optical data storage. Further, precise ...
Chaitanya Kumar, Suddapalli (Date of defense: 2012-01-18)
High-power, continuous-wave (cw), mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser sources are of interest for variety of applications such as trace gas detection and remote sensing, which require broad spectral coverage to address the most ...
Martínez Cercós, Daniel (Date of defense: 2023-06-21)
(English) There is currently significant scientific and technological interest in ultrathin materials, with at least one dimension in the nm range or even smaller, since they possess features not achievable with their ...
Giovannella, Martina (Date of defense: 2019-06-04)
Hybrid diffuse optical devices allows for the non-invasive and continuous monitoring of the cerebral haemodynamics and metabolism. Such devices can be portable and are relatively inexpensive, therefore available at the ...
Farzam, Parisa (Date of defense: 2014-10-14)
Noninvasive measurement of hemodynamics at the microvascular level may have a great impact on oncology in clinics for diagnosis, therapy planning and monitoring, and, in preclinical studies. To this end, diffuse optics is ...
Mireles Núñez, Miguel Adrián (Date of defense: 2018-10-24)
A pre-clinical mouse model of human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was employed as a method to study the prognostic and theranostic potential of two, non-invasive, deep tissue, diffuse optical techniques, namely ...
Avtzi, Stella (Date of defense: 2024-05-03)
(English) Hybrid diffuse optical devices offer a non-invasive and continuous and cost-effective method for monitoring cerebral blood flow and metabolism on the bedside use and realistic simulation applications. The ...
Bermúdez Ureña, Esteban (Date of defense: 2017-07-17)
The field of photonics comprehends the generation, manipulation and detection of light (photons). Over the past decades, it has underpinned many of the technological advances upon which we rely on a daily basis, from our ...
Pérez Rosas, Juan Miguel (Date of defense: 2020-07-28)
Early detection of microorganisms in environmental and biomedical applications is critical for the effective response to potential pathogenic treats. Most traditional methods and instrumentation for the analysis of these ...
Passaro, Elsa (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)
Quantum information science is a rapidly evolving field both from the theoretical and the experimental viewpoint, motivated by the fact that protocols exploiting quantum resources can perform tasks that are unfeasible in ...
Scandi, Matteo (Date of defense: 2023-07-13)
(English) The modern understanding of physics is deeply linked with the concept of information. The revival of the study of quantum mechanics in the form of quantum information is just an example of a more general trend ...
Pérez Salinas, Daniel (Date of defense: 2022-01-31)
In the recent decades, there has been a surge of interest in the wide array of emergent phenomena found in strongly correlated materials. Understanding the inner workings of this type of systems is a major challenge due ...
Sosa Costa, Alberto (Date of defense: 2017-03-02)
The migration of leukocytes from the blood stream to sites of injury and infection in the extravascular tissues is fundamental for the immune response. Two of the main receptors mediating this process are the integrins ...
Vidas, Luciana (Date of defense: 2019-05-02)
The physics of transition-metal oxides presents a challenge to our current understanding of condensed matter physics. The main difficulty arises from a competition between electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions ...
Jofre Cruanyes, Marc (Date of defense: 2013-04-15)
An important issue in today's information society is the security of data transmission against potential intruders, which always put at risk the confidentiality. Current methods to increase security require that the two ...
Ciancico, Carlotta (Date of defense: 2021-12-09)
Quantum nanophotonics aims at studying the interaction between matter and single photons at the nanoscale. Nanoscopic solid state light sources can be placed in near proximity to other photonic elements to engineer their ...
Napolitano, Mario (Date of defense: 2014-02-07)
In this manuscript we present an experimental and theoretical investigation of quantum-noise-limited measurement by nonlinear interferometry, or from another perspective, quantum-noise-limited interaction-based measurement. ...
Dhara, Chirag (Date of defense: 2013-06-12)
Quantum mechanics was developed as a response to the inadequacy of classical physics in explaining certain physical phenomena. While it has proved immensely successful, it also presents several features that severely ...
Kottmann, Korbinian Gebhard (Date of defense: 2022-10-14)
(English) We perform quantum simulation on classical and quantum computers and set up a machine learning framework in which we can map out phase diagrams of known and unknown quantum many-body systems in an unsupervised ...
