PLENARY: Optical tomography of scattering samples by means of acoustofluidic actuation by Monika Ritsch-Marte Location: Auditorium Chair: Ignacio Moreno, Universidad Miguel Hernandez, Spain Large cell clusters, such as organoids, cancer spheroids or developing embryos are often optically too opaque for imaging under illumination from only one side. Rotating or re-orienting the sample for multi-angle illumination is a solution to this problem, in the best case enabling 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index distribution. Tailored optical and acoustic fields can exert controlled forces on microscopic biomedical samples in suspension in a non-contact way. Large and therefore heavy particles, however, can only be levitated by acoustic forces - optical tweezers could not handle them without adverse high-power effects. By tuning standing MHz ultrasound waves it is possible to rotate or re-orient a sample inside a micro-fluidic chamber around one or more chosen axes perpendicular to the optical imaging direction, thus avoiding the ‘missing-cone’ problem which commonly leads to artifacts. As examples, the 3D reconstruction of a levitated zebrafish larva by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and of cell clusters by optical diffraction tomography (ODT) will be presented.

PLENARY: High-power ultrafast moves into the Terahertz by Clara Saraceno Location: Auditorium Chair: Stefan Witte, TU Delft, Netherlands, The Ultrafast laser-driven broadband Terahertz light sources are nowadays ubiquitous tools in many scientific fields, enabling researchers to control and probe an immense variety of low energy phenomena in condensed matter and other systems. They are also being increasingly deployed in industrial settings for inspection and non destructive testing: THz waves "see through" optically opaque objects, and can provide rich spectroscopic information at a glance. While techniques to generate short, broadband THz pulses using ultrafast laser pulses and nonlinear conversion techniques have seen continuous performance progress in the last few years, their average power has traditionally moved comparatively slowly, which has prevented many of these fields from blooming. On the other hand, the increasing availability and enormous performance progress of ultrafast Ytterbium-based lasers providing multi-100-W to kilowatt average-power levels has opened up the area of high average power, laser-driven THz sources: recent results reaching average power levels in the THz domain approaching the watt-level, opening the door to a multiplicity of new and old research areas to be re-visited. We review recent progress in the generation of high-average power THz-pulses, current technological challenges in scaling THz average power, and applications areas that could potentially benefit from these novel sources. |
