In this Letter, I present a monocular line scan vision-based detection system for detecting surface defects on bearing balls. An optical system was designed to solve the problems of nondevelopability, large spherical curvature, and high reflection of bearing ball surfaces. The principle of light illuminating bearing balls was developed. By analyzing the motion unfolding trajectory curve, I propose a line scanning unfolding process and image acquisition scheme for the whole surface of the bearing ball. According to the unfolding principle, I have established a mathematical model of the whole-surface bearing ball unfolding process and developed a simulation. Experiments were performed to capture the surface image of bearing balls. A defect detection algorithm for spatiotemporal image is developed. A subtraction operation is used to enhance the defect information. Spatial-temporal resolution normalization is developed to make the scale of spatiotemporal image uniform and extract the surface defects. The experimental results show that the detection resolution of the crack defects is approximately 0.001 mm<sup>2</sup>, and the crack defect detection rate is 100%, which demonstrates that the proposed method has high detection accuracy.</p>","PeriodicalId":19540,"journal":{"name":"Optics letters","volume":"50 4","pages":"1425-1428"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An enhanced in-plane photonic spin Hall effect manifested in the angular splitting of circularly polarized photons with opposite helicity signs is demonstrated.

Emerging strategies attempt to generate the superchiral fields with metasurfaces to maximize the chiral light-matter interaction. Although these studies have mostly considered the transverse superchirality, the longitudinal optical chirality also plays a very important role in chiral interactions. In this paper, the conditions for generating the optimal longitudinal superchirality are demonstrated with vector diffraction theory. Accordingly, a metalens is designed to generate vector beams as a replacement of conventional optical elements. Moreover, by modifying the polarization state of the incident light from linear to circular polarization, the longitudinal superchirality can be continuously tuned from zero to more than 70 times of the intrinsic chirality of circularly polarized light.

Here we propose a new concept, to the best of our knowledge, of the frequency-encoded optical phased array (OPA) to enable high-speed reconfigurable dynamic scanning. This is achieved by employing the customized frequency deviations on the array elements of the OPA. It is turned out that, in this way, the dynamic spatiotemporal beams with continuous scanning capability can be realized. We further find that the scanning speed is linearly proportional to the frequency deviation.
