[ANGLÈS] We have investigated a highly efficient source of polarization-entangled photons for long-distance free-space communication and other experiments involving significant propagation loss. The source is an evolution ...

[ANGLÈS] This Thesis focuses on the development of the opto-mechanical design and software interface of an image cytometer capable of analyzing particulate in a small volume sample. The device consists of an incoherent ...

[ANGLÈS] In this thesis, the design, fabrication and characterization of thermal optical probes based on Fiber Bragg Gratings are presented. The main focus was the optimization and manufacturing of a proper package for ...

In this thesis, we demonstrate the correct operation of a fluorescence sensor designed for the analysis of water samples, in concrete phytoplankton levels and microorganism counting. The system, based on different techniques ...

En este proyecto se describe la investigación en el campo de la optoelectrónica (nexo de unión entre los sistemas ópticos y eléctricos) vinculada a nuevos materiales y metodologías aplicadas a electrodos transparentes. Estos ...

The project aims at developing new photonic transmitters for quantum cryptography applications which could be used to increase the security of communication networks. The transmitter will be designed to generate security ...

The lens-free interferometric microscope (?LIM?) developed at ICFO by Roland Terborg et al. offers a hybrid solution of differential interference contrast microscopy, interferometry and holography. It is an ultra-sensitive ...

We have studied the metal de-wetting from ultra-thin metal films in order to obtain a metal nano-structure. The metal nano-structure is going to be used as an etching mask for Corning glass substrates, to create a glass ...

Photonic devices are key to implement future communication and information technologies. Their success is largely determined by our capability to appropriately control light in such devices, especially in future reconfigurable ...
