(author), Capellini, G. (author)A strained Ge quantum well, grown on a SiGe/Si virtual substrate and hosting two electrostatically defined hole spin qubits, is nondestructively investigated by synchrotron-based scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy to determine all its Bravais lattice parameters. This allows rendering the three-dimensional spatial dependence of the six strain...article 2023

(author), Ferrario, I. (author)High throughput optical satellite communication (SATCOM) systems need to rely on effective and robust technology to enable wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in a commercially viable way. The main challenge to implement WDM in optical feeder links deals with the multiplexing of high power channels. Currently the levels of power required for...conference paper 2022

16.8 Monolithic all-perovskite triple-junction solar cells via a universal two-step solution processWang, J. (author), Zardetto, V. (author), Datta, K. (author), Zhang, D. (author), Wienk, M.M. (author), Janssen, R.A.J. (author)Perovskite semiconductors hold a unique promise in developing multijunction solar cells with high-efficiency and low-cost. Besides design constraints to reduce optical and electrical losses, integrating several very different perovskite absorber layers in a multijunction cell imposes a great processing challenge. Here, we report a versatile two...article 2020

Nieuwenhuizen, R.P.J. (author), Bouwman, D.D. (author), Schutte, K. (author)High resolution images are critical for a wide variety of military detection, recognition and identification tasks. Super-resolution reconstruction algorithms aim to enhance the image resolution beyond the capability of the imaging system being used. Until recently, undersampling of the optical signal on the image sensor has been the key factor...conference paper 2018

Heaney, K.D. (author), Prior, M. (author), Campbell, R.L. (author)The ocean is nearly transparent to low frequency sound permitting the observation of distant events such as earthquakes or explosions at fully basin scales. For very low frequency the ocean acts as a shallow-water waveguide and lateral variability in bathymetry can lead to out-of-plane effects. In this paper, data from the International...article 2017

Cotel, A. (author), Liard, A. (author), Desserouer, F. (author), Pichon, P. (author), van der Valk, N.C.J. (author)Optical components such as diffraction gratings are widely used in Space-flight satellites to analyse light properties from soft-X rays to Infra-Red. The diffraction gratings are one of the key optical components of space-flight instruments and have to exhibit very high optical performances. TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) is a...conference paper 2017

(author)High resolution and high throughput imaging are typically mutually exclusive. While there is a wide range of techniques to image features beyond the diffraction limit of light, they all have their own benefits and drawbacks, but they are often very slow compared to optical systems. As such, extending the performance of optical microscopes...conference paper 2017

Silvestri, F. (author), Gerini, G. (author), Bäumer, S.M.B. (author)In the last years, much interest has grown around the concept of optical surfaces employing high contrast dielectric resonators. However, a systematic approach for the design of this optical surfaces under particular requirements has never been proposed. In this contribution, we describe this approach applied to the robust design of an array of...conference paper 2017

(author)Unencapsulated CIGS solar cells were simultaneously exposed to damp heat and illumination. In-situ monitoring of their electrical parameters demonstrated a rapid decrease of the efficiency, mainly driven by changes in the series and shunt resistances.
