Coherent white light confocal fluorescence imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE (2009)

Silvia Soria Franco Quercioli Raffaella Mercatelli Federica Bianco Ilaria Cacciari

We report on the application of a simple white light source based on the supercontinuum generation from commercial photonic crystal fibres to confocal fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) microscopy. The coherent white light can be tuned by varying the wavelength and intensity of the pump, a Ti:Sapphire laser. There are several advantages jn the use of SC sources: spatially coherent white radiation, tuning ranges of approximately 400 nm, high brightness, a robust compact system (potentially all-fibre) and relatively low cost. Being pulsed, SC sources are suitable for FLIM and may be used for multiple excitation.

Commentary to “Delay time in the transfer of modulation between microwave beams”

Engineering Reports (2022)

Ilaria Cacciari D. Mugnai A. Ranfagni

Abstract New results, as reported in a forthcoming paper (Cacciari & Ranfagni, 2022), induced us to modify our point of view on the origin of the transfer of modulation between microwave beams. We believe that a commentary and addition of information to the paper published as Reference 1 appear appropriate.

Hands-On Fundamentals of 1D Convolutional Neural Networks—A Tutorial for Beginner Users

Applied Sciences (2024)

Ilaria Cacciari A. Ranfagni

In recent years, deep learning (DL) has garnered significant attention for its successful applications across various domains in solving complex problems. This interest has spurred the development of numerous neural network architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and the more recently introduced Transformers. The choice of architecture depends on the data characteristics and the specific task at hand. In the 1D domain, one-dimensional CNNs (1D CNNs) are widely used, particularly for tasks involving the classification and recognition of 1D signals. While there are many applications of 1D CNNs in the literature, the technical details of their training are often not thoroughly explained, posing challenges for those developing new libraries in languages other than those supported by available open-source solutions. This paper offers a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on deriving feedforward and backpropagation equations for 1D CNNs, applicable to both regression and classification tasks. By linking neural networks with linear algebra, statistics, and optimization, this tutorial aims to clarify concepts related to 1D CNNs, making it a valuable resource for those interested in developing new libraries beyond existing ones.

On the origin of the transfer of modulation between microwave beams

Modern Physics Letters B (2022)

Ilaria Cacciari A. Ranfagni

New results are obtained with a modified experimental setup, in order to reduce the residual detected signal when the unmodulated beam is strongly attenuated. In the light of these results, the transfer of modulation, from the modulated beam to the unmodulated one, can be attributed to a photon–photon scattering mechanism, operating in the crossing area of the two beams. Even the stochastic character of the process becomes more plausible.

THZ Characterization of Painting Layers

Ilaria Cacciari Daniele Ciofini Salvatore Siano

A THz Time Domain spectrometer was used to investigate painting layers in reflection geometry. The stratified layers were characterized and the refractive indexes were measured. The results were used for estimating the thicknesses of superimposed paint layers.

Cross-modulation between microwave beams interpreted as a stochastic process

International Journal of Modern Physics B (2021)

Ilaria Cacciari D. Mugnai A. Ranfagni Andrea Petrucci

Further and more detailed experimental work demonstrates an anomalous transfer of modulation between two microwave beams in the near-field and confirms the results already obtained. The behavior of the measured signal versus the attenuation of each beam intensity suggests a model based on the existence of hybrid terms containing the product of both the relative field amplitudes. In addition, the undulating shape of the signal suggests the presence of stochastic processes.
