Abstract:
Structured photonic materials are typically composed of periodic subwavelength elements where the unit cell geometries can impact the overall optical characteristics of the bulk material. By using micro and nanofabrication technologies it is possible to engineer the electromagnetic properties of structured photonic materials for a given application and create a variety of optical components such as band pass filters and absorbers. Two structured photonic materials that have gained substantial interest in recent years are plasmonic filters and metamaterials which are well suited for optical and

This thesis establishes methods to locally and effciently detect the fluorescence from photonic crystals (PCs) in dependence on wavelength and direction. These are applied to three dimensional (3D) PCs grown by vertical deposition of polystyrene beads. The experiments allow conclusions about the local 3D structure of a sample, about defects in its volume and about spatial structural variations. They thus provide more information than typical spectroscopy measurements that average over large areas and methods that only image the surface structure like scanning electron microscopy.

Cancer is a major health problem in the world today. Almost all cancers have a significantly better chance for therapy and recovery if detected at their early stage. The capability to perform disease diagnosis at an early stage requires high-resolution imaging that can visualise the physiological and morphological changes at a cellular level. However, resolving powers of current medical imaging systems are limited to sub-millimeter sizes. Furthermore, the majority of cancers are associated with morphological and functional alterations of cells in epithelial tissue, currently assessed by invasi

In many medical imaging modalities, as photons travel from the emission source to the detector, they are scattered by the biological tissue. Often this scatter is viewed as a phenomenon that degrades image quality, and most research is focused on designing methods for either discarding the scattered photons or correcting for scatter. However, the scattered photons also carry information about the tissue that they pass through, which can perhaps be extracted.

Abstract:
Lying between the microwave and far infrared (IR) regions, the "terahertz gap" is a relatively unexplored frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum that exhibits a unique combination of properties from its neighbors. Like in IR, many materials have characteristic absorption spectra in the terahertz (THz) band, facilitating the spectroscopic "fingerprinting" of compounds such as drugs and explosives. In addition, non-polar dielectric materials such as clothing, paper, and plastic are transparent to THz, just as they are to microwaves and millimeter waves. These factors, combined with sub-m

<p>Information exchange between neural systems occurs at the level of populations of neurons. Thus in order to understand how this information exchange occurs, it is indispensible to understand the role of underlying neuronal systems.</p><p>Electrophysiological techniques have enhanced our understanding of the nervous system by enabling the study of properties of single ion channels to that of ensembles of neurons. While electrophysiological measurements offer excellent temporal resolution, they lack spatial resolution as this method provides a readout of the electrical signals from single or

Abstract:
Our goal is to develop a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system for dynamic cardiac imaging so that heart disease may be more accurately evaluated. We have developed multiple, stationary, modular scintillation cameras that allow for dynamic imaging because of large detector area, large collection efficiency, high count-rate capability, and no motion of detector, collimator, or aperture. We make use of coded-aperture pinhole arrays because they increase photon-collection efficiency. The coded apertures allow for overlapping projections or multiplexing of an object onto the de
