Ultrafast picosecond coherent sources in the near-to-mid-infrared (IR) spectral range are of great interest for a variety of applications such as pump-probe spectroscopy, remote sensing, photobiology ...
Martínez Sánchez, Ignacio A. (Date of defense: 2014-04-25)
Almost two centuries after the first observations of Robert Brown, the study of systems ruled by noise has become a significant part of modern physics and other so diverse situations, such as the stock ...
Olarte, Omar E. (Date of defense: 2014-03-20)
In the quest for better and faster images of cellular and subcellular structures, biology-oriented optical microscopes have advanced significantly in the last few decades. Novel microscopy techniques ...
