    A new kind of bolometric architecture has been successfully developed for the PACS photometer onboard the Herschel submillimeter observatory. These new generation CCD-like arrays are buttable and enable the conception of large fully sampled focal planes. We present a feasibility study of the adaptation of these bolometer arrays to ground-based submillimeter telescopes. We have developed an electro-thermal numerical model to simulate the performances of the bolometers under specific ground-based conditions (different wavelengths and background powers for example). This simulation permits to determine the optimal parameters for each condition and shows that the bolometers can be background limited in each transmission window between 200 and 450 microns. We also present a new optical system that enables to have a maximum absorption of the bolometer in each atmospheric windows. The description of this system and measurements are showed.Comment: 9 pages, 12 figures, to be published in the Proceedings of SPIE Vol. 6275, "Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation, Millimeter and Submillimeter Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy III

    The ArT\'eMiS wide-field submillimeter camera: preliminary on-sky performances at 350 microns

    ArTeMiS is a wide-field submillimeter camera operating at three wavelengths simultaneously (200, 350 and 450 microns). A preliminary version of the instrument equipped with the 350 microns focal plane, has been successfully installed and tested on APEX telescope in Chile during the 2013 and 2014 austral winters. This instrument is developed by CEA (Saclay and Grenoble, France), IAS (France) and University of Manchester (UK) in collaboration with ESO. We introduce the mechanical and optical design, as well as the cryogenics and electronics of the ArTeMiS camera. ArTeMiS detectors are similar to the ones developed for the Herschel PACS photometer but they are adapted to the high optical load encountered at APEX site. Ultimately, ArTeMiS will contain 4 sub-arrays at 200 microns and 2x8 sub-arrays at 350 and 450 microns. We show preliminary lab measurements like the responsivity of the instrument to hot and cold loads illumination and NEP calculation. Details on the on-sky commissioning runs made in 2013 and 2014 at APEX are shown. We used planets (Mars, Saturn, Uranus) to determine the flat-field and to get the flux calibration. A pointing model was established in the first days of the runs. The average relative pointing accuracy is 3 arcsec. The beam at 350 microns has been estimated to be 8.5 arcsec, which is in good agreement with the beam of the 12 m APEX dish. Several observing modes have been tested, like On-The-Fly for beam-maps or large maps, spirals or raster of spirals for compact sources. With this preliminary version of ArTeMiS, we concluded that the mapping speed is already more than 5 times better than the previous 350 microns instrument at APEX. The median NEFD at 350 microns is 600 mJy.s1/2, with best values at 300 mJy.s1/2. The complete instrument with 5760 pixels and optimized settings will be installed during the first half of 2015.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures.

    Statistical Computing on Non-Linear Spaces for Computational Anatomy

    International audienceComputational anatomy is an emerging discipline that aims at analyzing and modeling the individual anatomy of organs and their biological variability across a population. However, understanding and modeling the shape of organs is made difficult by the absence of physical models for comparing different subjects, the complexity of shapes, and the high number of degrees of freedom implied. Moreover, the geometric nature of the anatomical features usually extracted raises the need for statistics on objects like curves, surfaces and deformations that do not belong to standard Euclidean spaces. We explain in this chapter how the Riemannian structure can provide a powerful framework to build generic statistical computing tools. We show that few computational tools derive for each Riemannian metric can be used in practice as the basic atoms to build more complex generic algorithms such as interpolation, filtering and anisotropic diffusion on fields of geometric features. This computational framework is illustrated with the analysis of the shape of the scoliotic spine and the modeling of the brain variability from sulcal lines where the results suggest new anatomical findings

    在光的激发下金属纳米结构中的自由电子能够发生群体性的振荡,进而产生表面等离激元(SPP)。发生等离激元共振时,金属纳米结构会将光束缚在表面,并在表面产生极强的电场增强。表面等离激元有两种类型:一类具有传播的特点,其表面等离激元能够在表面传播,称之为propagatingSPP;另一类不具有传播性,共振局域在一个很小的金属结构中,称之为localizedSPP,即局域表面等离激元共振(LSPR)。金属纳米颗粒就具有很强的表面等离激元共振的(LSPR)性质,使其对光产生增强的吸收和增强的散射,并表现出相关的热、光电场增强和热电子等效应。近年,随着纳米科技的发展,金属纳米粒子的LSPR效应已经成为一...The collective oscillation of free electrons in metal nanostructures excited with light is called surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). The light will be confined to a small area on the surface under the resonance condition (SPR), thus a giant enhancement in the electric field will be produced. There are two kinds of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP): one is propagating plasmon polaritons (PSPP), which...学位:理学博士院系专业:化学化工学院_物理化学(含化学物理)学号:2052010015366
