There is a lack on ocean dynamics understanding, and that lead oceanographers to the need of acquiring more reliable data to study ocean characteristics. Oceanographic measurements are difficult and expensive but essential ...

The present PhD dissertation is focused on the design and implementation of a microelectrode system capable of performing electroporation and electrical impedance measurements to adherent cell monolayers cultured in standard ...

This Master dissertation explores diffuse reflection spectroscopy as a viable tool for analytical chemistry, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In-vitro optical phantoms are created to mimic the turbid diffuse environments ...

Impedance spectroscopy is employed to probe the frequency-dependent conductivity and dielectric response of the C60O24Na 24 fulleride. The conduction properties of this organic material match the so-called universal behavior ...

Lung biopsies form the basis for the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, in a significant number of cases bronchoscopic lung biopsies fail to provide useful information, especially in diffuse lung disease, so more aggressive ...

In this master's thesis we study two filtering techniques, first the Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF) and second a monolithic Fabry-Pérot interferometer with the aim of filtering down-converted photon ...

For many years, the fields of quantum optics and biology have rarely shared a common path. In quantum optics, most of the concepts and techniques developed over the years stand for systems where only a few degrees of freedom ...

English: THz spectroscopy has recently emerged as a novel technology with several advantages with respect to other spectroscopic techniques, such as real–time data acquisition and non–destructive, non–invasive detection ...

The goal of this master thesis was to take initial steps towards cavity-enhanced detection of single rare-earth ions in the solid state. A fibre microcavity set-up for use with Praseodymium-doped nanocrystals was designed, ...
