We investigate the far-field pattern generation for a micro-lens array (MLA) illuminated under different conditions. Plane wave and Gaussian beam illumination are considered for an MLA with a small diameter of 27 microns and 30 microns period. At these dim ...

Accurate characterization of high numerical aperture aspheric microlenses currently is a nonstandard procedure that remains an open challenge. Here, we present and discuss a characterization method based on interferometric and point spread function measure ...

The present invention relates to a multispectral image sensor having a pixel array for detecting images with light components in different wavelength ranges, comprising a plurality of imaging layers each embedded in a semiconductor substrate, wherein in ea ...

A light microscope comprises a light source (10) for illuminating a specimen (35), a sensor array (60) comprised of photon-counting detector elements (61, 62) for measuring detection light (15) coming from the specimen (35), and a control device (70) for c ...

Seeing and recognizing an object whose size is much smaller than the illumination wavelength is a challenging task for an observer placed in the far field, due to the diffraction limit. Recent advances in near- and far-field microscopy have offered several ...

A multi-camera hemispherical very wide field of view imaging apparatus with omnidirectional illumination capability comprises a cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), a hemispherical mechanical frame (2) arranged on one end of the cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), ...

Guiding electromagnetic energy at a subwavelength scale is one of the most highly demanded functionalities in a variety of applications, including compact, lightweight satellite communications, signal and data processing, and power systems. The existing sc ...

Edward E. Hagenlocker and William G. Rado demonstrated Brillouin interaction in gas for the first time in 1965, right after the very first demonstrations of stimulated Brillouin scattering in solid materials. In their experiment, they used a megawatt pulse ...

Emergence of products that feature functional surfaces with complex geometries, such as freeform optics in consumer electronics and augmented reality and virtual reality, requires high-accuracy non-contact surface measurement. However, large discrepancies ...

Wave manipulation at a subwavelength scale has recently attracted significant interest, especially for low-frequency wave propagation, from acoustic to microwave devices. Recently, a few methods achieving subwavelength routing using locally resonant metama ...

The optical performance of refractive plano-convex microlenses is mainly related to the quality of their (a)spherical surface. An efficient tolerancing of this surface is a key step towards the manufacturing of high quality microlenses. However, we demonst ...
