Traditional ILT algorithms, despite their capacity of significantly enhancing the image quality, bring challenges to the computational efficiency and mask manufacturability. To overcome those problems, this paper proposes a novel block-based ILT method driven by the level-set algorithm. This method leverages overlapped basis blocks with a level-set support area for mask representation, thus reducing the mask complexity. To circumvent the slow convergence rate dictated by the conventional Euler time step of the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition, this research adopts the Barzilai-Borwein algorithm to update level set function using adaptive time step, which accelerates the optimization process. In addition, a testbed of digital lithography system is established to verify the proposed ILT method with a calibrated imaging model.

Its value in QCLs is predicted to increase under laser operation with increasing light intensity, as the stronger gain saturation effectively increases the spectral gain asymmetry. Here, we investigate the hot-cavity LEF of a free-running frequency comb far above the laser threshold and at high frequencies, employing shifted wave interference Fourier transform spectroscopy (SWIFTS).

In this paper, a design method for randomized microlens array homogenizing optical element with large scattering angles is proposed. A combination of transmission and total internal reflection (TIR) is used to significantly increase the scattering angle of the microlens arrays while maintaining high transmittance. A method of generating microlens arrays using random edge-length ratios is used to eliminate interference and improve the uniformity of the spot. The study explores the uniformity and energy utilization of random microlens arrays during random degree alteration and analyzes the influence of machining errors on homogenization. To validate the novel method, a random microlens array has been developed, featuring a scattering angle range of ± 41°, remarkable uniformity at 82.31 %, and an energy utilization rate of 85.48 %.
