Polarimetric indicators for tissues characterization and recognition
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-12)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionWe highlight the potential of the indices of polarimetric purity (IPPs) for biological tissue characterization and recognition. To do so, we study the polarimetric response of four different biological tissues (bone, tendon, ... -

Transparent electrodes based on ultra-thin dielectric-metal-dielectric multilayer structures
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-11)
Master thesis
Open AccessPhotonics has been the focus of an increasing ammount of resarch resources and founding since technological demands of solutions to complex problems can be solved within its scope. In this paper we will specifically focus ... -
Processing of visible and near-infrared spectral images for ocular diagnosis
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-22)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionHyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology allows a denser sampling of the spectral properties of an object in respect to common RGB imaging. In this work, we used this technique for retinal imaging. In particular, a novel HSI ... -
Just in time calculations for partially coherent imaging
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-23)
Master thesis
Open AccessAlgorithms to calculate partially coherent image formation are centered around the classic formula developed by Hopkins. Algebraic methods have been developed to make feasible the integration process, although with strong ... -
Design and analysis of surface plasmon resonance-based sensor for harvesting hot electrons discriminated by a Schottky barrier
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-06)
Master thesis
36 months embargoThe aim is to assess the realization of SPR based-sensors with direct electronic transduction of plasmon-induced phenomena for low-cost, low-power and with high sensing performances for the measurement of either chemical ... -
The communication cost of simulating POVMs over maximally entangled qubits
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-09)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn [Toner and Bacon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 187904 (2003)], $1$ bit of communication was proven to be enough to simulate the statistics of local projective measurements over the maximally entangled state. Ever since then, ... -
Coherent control of a superconducting quantum bit
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessTransmon qubits are at the forefront of solid state platforms for quantum computing. In this thesis, results obtained from the experimental study of a transmon qubit in a 3D cavity are presented. A complete view of the ... -

Nano-structured surfaces for mid-infrared optical sensing
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-09)
Master thesis
Open AccessWe design and realize two nano-structured surfaces that support graphene plasmon modes for sensing applications in the mid-infrared range. More specifically the two designs are engineered on a CaF2, IR-transparent, substrate ... -
Quantum photon correlations at the single atom level in free space
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-08-31)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this project, we present a novel approach to calculate and engineer the photon correlations emerging from the interference between an input field and the field scattered by an atom in free space. Historically, it has ... -
Holographic imaging of nanometer-scale phase-separation during a phase transition
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-09)
Master thesis
Open AccessQuantum materials is a broad term used in condensed matter physics to define materials whose collective properties are governed by quantum behavior, which are challenging to understand. These materials are sensitive to ...
