    • A 3D printed toolbox for opto-mechanical components 

      Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose; Pérez Torres, Juan; Valencia, Alejandra (2017-01-18)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this article we present the development of a set of opto-mechanical components (a kinematic mount, a translation stage and an integrating sphere) that can be easily built using a 3D printer based on Fused Filament ...
    • Demonstration of a highly-sensitive tunable beam displacer with no use of beam deflection based on the concept of weak value amplification 

      Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose; Guzman, David A; Valencia, Alejandra; Pérez Torres, Juan (2015-04-10)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We report the implementation of a highly sensitive tunable beam displacer based on the concept of weak value amplification, that allows to displace the centroid of a Gaussian beam a distance much smaller than its beam width ...
    • How to automate a kinematic mount using a 3D printed arduino-based system 

      Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose; Jiménez Machado, Gerard; Pérez Torres, Juan (2018-06-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      We demonstrate a simple, flexible and cost-effective system to automatize most of the kinematic mounts available nowadays on the market. It combines 3D-printed components, an Arduino board, stepper motors and simple ...
    • Optical sectioning in induced coherence tomography with frequency-entangled photons 

      Valles Marin, Adam; Jiménez Machado, Gerard; Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose; Pérez Torres, Juan (American Physical Society, 2018-02-14)
      Article
      Open Access
      We demonstrate a different scheme to perform optical sectioning of a sample based on the concept of induced coherence [Zou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 318 (1991)]. This can be viewed as a different type of optical coherence ...
    • Tunable beam displacer 

      Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose; Valencia, Alejandra; Pérez Torres, Juan (2015-03-17)
      Article
      Open Access
      We report the implementation of a tunable beam displacer, composed of a polarizing beam splitter(PBS) and two mirrors, that divides an initially polarized beam into two parallel beams whose separation can be continuously ...
    • Weak value amplification: a view from quantum estimation theory that highlights what it is and what isn’t 

      Pérez Torres, Juan; Salazar Serrano, Luis Jose (Macmillan Publishers, 2016-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Weak value amplification (WVA) is a concept that has been extensively used in a myriad of applications with the aim of rendering measurable tiny changes of a variable of interest. In spite of this, there is still an on-going ...
