We report measurements and modeling performed on an ion source based on ionization of a laser-cooled atomic beam. We show a high brightness and a low energy
Trapping of nanometer size objects by optical tweezers is challenging because the forces become very small for nanoparticles and the resolving power of light
Many image processing problems are naturally expressed as energy minimization or shape optimization problems, in which the free variable is a shape, such as a
Optical characteristics of OLED panels have been investigated for the purpose of developing a test method for OLED panels for lighting applications. The
