[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] This thesis makes use of novel ideas to demonstrate proof of concept experiments, which could then further develop into practical passive QKD sources. Different tasks related to the source have been carried out. ...

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 ...

As health systems fight against epidemics and infectious diseases, new forms of diagnostics need to be developed in order to meet the growing demand for services, often in locations without the necessary infrastructure. ...

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 ...

[ANGLÈS] The project is dedicated to the development of a compact shearing interferometric optical sensor for biological applications. The main goal is the implementation of a patented optical device based on polarization ...
