RESEARCH ARTICLE Growth cone navigation in substrate-bound ephrin gradients (2008)

Susanne Lang, Jürgen Loeschinger, André Bernard, Christian David, Dirk Lehnert, ...

Graded distributions of ephrin ligands are involved in the formation of topographic maps. However, it is still poorly understood how growth cones read gradients of membrane-bound guidance molecules....

Optimized staircase profiles for diffractive optical devices made from absorbing materials (2008)

Nöhammer, Bernd, David, Christian, Gobrecht, Jens, Herzig, Hans-Peter

We report on the optimization of staircase grating profiles for the case of absorbing grating materials. Using a simple numerical algorithm, we determined the grating parameters, maximizing the...
