Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing technology that supports the rapid fabrication of prototypes. Already, employing AM technologies in early product development stages can help to accelerate the time from conceptualisation phase to the mar...
This paper outlines the design and fabrication of a portable optomechatronic system based on the theta-2theta configuration, which explores various optical characterization techniques for transparent materials and dielectric thin films. These techniq...
Airy beams showing curved paths have found extensive applications in fields such as optical trapping, biomedical analysis, and material processing. Despite their utility, dynamic control of Airy beams poses a significant challenge. This work investig...
Digital image correlation (DIC) is a non-contact measurement technique used to evaluate surface deformation of objects. Typically, pointwise moving least squares (PMLS) fitting is applied to process the noisy data from DIC to obtain an accurate strai...
Phase holography is a critical optical imaging and information processing technique with applications ranging from microscopy to optical communications. However, optimizing phase hologram generation remains a significant challenge due to the non-conv...
In this paper, the magic wavelength of the 87Sr optical lattice clock is determined by a method that bypasses the need for lattice trap depth modulation. Instead, it relies on an additional AC Stark shift generated by a dipole beam operating nea...
We investigate the dynamic excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) using vector Laguerre–Gauss (LG) beams, which offer unique properties for manipulating the polarization and spatial distribution of light. Our study demonstrates the eff...
In the current study, we address the phase retrieval of one-dimensional phase objects from near-field diffraction patterns using the multiple-plane Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm, which is still widely used for phase retrieval. The algorithm was im...
This study focuses on creating micro-nano structures on the surface of 304 stainless steel using nanosecond lasers to achieve superhydrophobicity for fog water collection experiments in a fog chamber. By adjusting pattern parameters, an uneven wettab...
Although effective, a portion of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) patients will suffer residual myopia or relapse to myopic regression. This retrospective, non-randomized, comparative study, aimed to compare the efficacy of primary PRK versus PRK pe...
This study explores electrochemical etching to form porous silicon (PS), which has diverse biomedical and energy applications. Our objective is to gain new insights and drive significant scientific and technological advancements. Specifically, we stu...
In this work, we present the exact equations for the back and effective focal lengths of a plano-concave thick lens. These equations are derived through a detailed ray-tracing approach, calculating the meridional ray’s path parallel to the opti...
The position and linewidth of an emission spectrum reflect the physical properties of the luminophor. So, keeping the spectrum from distortion is very important in its measurement. However, we find that the spectrum linewidth will be broadened when t...
In recent years, assistive technology usage among the visually impaired has risen significantly worldwide. While traditional aids like guide dogs and white canes have limitations, recent innovations like RFID-based indoor navigation systems and alter...
The World Health Organization (WHO) cancer agency predicts that more than 35 million cases of cancer will be experienced in 2050, a 77% increase over the 2022 estimate. Currently, the main cancers diagnosed are breast, lung, and colorectal. There is...
In order to break the diffraction limit and improve the imaging resolution of optical microscope, in this article, we theoretically deduced the influence of phase difference on imaging resolution under coherent illumination. As the phase difference i...
To address the challenge of image matching posed by significant modal differences in remote sensing images influenced by snow cover, this paper proposes an innovative image transformation-based matching method. Initially, the Pix2Pix-GAN conversion n...
In order to test the performance of laser devices for attacking miniature UAVs, we studied the principle of laser devices on soft killing and hard killing. Then, the flight test conditions of miniature UAVs were constructed, and the laser devices wer...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) holds significant potential across environmental monitoring, materials science, and biomedical applications. However, challenges regarding ultra-sensitive detection and repeatability are bottlenecks for practi...
