Designing low-loss cavities across the band-gap of photonic crystal slabs

Nadhia Monim, Wolfgang Langbein, Francesco Masia

Photonic crystal cavities (PCCs) are defects in host photonic crystals (PCs) which create bound states in the PC band gap. These bound states are resonant states of the electromagn…

Correlative light electron microscopy using small gold nanoparticles as single probes

Iestyn Pope, Hugh Tanner, Francesco Masia +6

Correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM) requires the availability of robust probes which are visible both in light and electron microscopy. Here we demonstrate a CLEM approach…

Low-energy electron microscopy intensity-voltage data -- factorization, sparse sampling, and classification

Francesco Masia, Wolfgang Langbein, Simon Fischer +2

Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) taken as intensity-voltage (I-V) curves provides hyperspectral images of surfaces, which can be used to identify the surface type, but are dif…

uFLIM -- Unsupervised analysis of FLIM-FRET microscopy data

Francesco Masia, Walter Dewitte, Paola Borri +1

Despite their widespread use in cell biology, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data-sets are challenging to analyse, because each spatial position can contain a supe…
