The generation of high-order harmonics in solid crystals has received considerable attention recently. Using a driver laser with 0.8 µm wavelength and 28 fs ultrashort pulses, we present experimental results, accompanied with theoretical consid...

In the design of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), the optical connections of the PIC surface, along with the electronic components of the chips, are significant issues. One of the optoelectronics components that utilizes these surface connections...

The thermal blooming effect, platform jitter, and other effects of laser beam propagation cause serious deviation, which will have a negative impact on laser tracking systems. It is important to ensure that the laser beam does not deviate. Based on a...

In this study, a scatterometry-based monitoring system designed for tracking the quality and reproducibility of laser-textured surfaces in industrial environments was validated in off-line and real-time modes. To this end, a stainless steel plate was...

The current generation is witnessing a huge interest in optical waveguides due to their salient features: they are of low cost, immune to electromagnetic interference, easy to multiplex, have a compact size, etc. These features of optical fibers make...

The COVID pandemic is forcing the renewal of scientific conferences, offering opportunities to introduce technological and inclusive developments. Our analysis focuses on the implementation of inclusive practices for female and early-career researche...

To obtain a continuous range of clear vision for pseudophakic eyes, a design of intraocular lens (IOL) with extended depth of focus (EDoF) was proposed. The IOL was optimized with a multi-configuration approach based on a pseudophakic eye model and t...

Photodissolution is a process that is well known for its ability to cause inclusion of silver into the matrix of a chalcogenide layer, changing its optical properties. In this paper, using e-beam deposition, we developed Ag (74 nm)/As₂S₃ (355 nm) bil...

Optical isolation with high-quality, large-aperture polarizers is commonly used in high-power laser facilities to suppress retro-reflected pulses. However, it is hard to manufacture these polarizers. We propose an approach of optical isolation with t...

This study examines the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves that propagate through an unbounded space filled with a homogeneous isotropic chiral medium. The resulting characters are compared to those of the electromagnetic waves propagating...
