By solving a master equation in the Sierpiński lattice and in a planar random-resistor network, we determine the scaling with size L of the shot noise power P due to elastic scattering in a fractal conductor. We find a power-law scaling P proportional, variantL;{d_{f}-2-alpha}, with an exponent depending on the fractal dimension d_{f} and the anomalous diffusion exponent alpha. This is the same scaling as the time-averaged current I[over ], which implies that the Fano factor F=P/2eI[over ] is scale-independent. We obtain a value of F=1/3 for anomalous diffusion that is the same as for normal diffusion, even if there is no smallest length scale below which the normal diffusion equation holds. The fact that F remains fixed at 1/3 as one crosses the percolation threshold in a random-resistor network may explain recent measurements of a doping-independent Fano factor in a graphene flake.

Droplet-based microfluidics is a powerful tool for high-throughput analysis of liquid samples with significant applications in biomedicine and biochemistry. Nevertheless, extracting content-rich information from single picolitre-sized droplets at high throughputs remains challenging due to the weak signals associated with these small volumes. Overcoming this limitation would be transformative for fields that rely on high-throughput screening, enabling broader multiparametric analysis.

It operates in reflection geometry with on-axis illumination, so that it can be conveniently applied to surface texture measurements. The system consists of two identical 4f systems forming the reference and sample arm.

We extend prior monochromatization work to improve accuracy, especially for discrete spectra, and also demonstrate how PaCMAN can be converted into Ms. PaCMAN, a multi-spectral variant that outperforms multi-spectral ePIE.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA compact and easy-to-use high-bandwidth autobalanced detector for microscopy is presented, being able to remove up to 67 dB of correlated noise, thus, allowing for shot-noise limited image acquisition even in the presence of high laser excess noise. Detecting a 20 MHz modulation frequency at half the repetition rate of the driving pulsed laser, the autobalanced detector is able to exploit an extra +3 dB increase in signal-to-noise ratio due to the coherent addition of modulation sidebands in stimulated Raman scattering. Pixel-by-pixel noise canceling and correction of sample transmission losses are possible for pixel scan rates of more than 1.

In this regard, coherent combined with squeezed vacuum states are the most promising candidate. Here we complement this subject by comparing nonlinear and nonlinear-linear hybrid interferometers with homodyne detection as a readout strategy.
