Abstract: Abstract Understanding the within-tree variability of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) is crucial for interpreting point measurements and calculating whole-tree carbon balances. Yet, little is known about how the vertical light gradient within tree crowns influences branch… read more here.

Abstract: A reusable all-polymer coupler using gratings and tapers for vertical light coupling to single-mode planar waveguides is demonstrated. Numerical simulations are performed to optimize the tapers and gratings to increase the coupling efficiency. A hot-embossing… read more here.
