The model is calibrated with experimental data of blazed grating profiles. The complete process of modeling and calibration has been performed using the research and development lithography simulator Dr.LiTHO. To emulate the grayscale exposure of blazed gratings in a LED-based micro-image stepper with Dr.LiTHO a thin mask with a linear variation of the mask transmission and corresponding distribution of exposure dose was used. The resulting photoresist profiles are obtained with a standard model for Diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) photoresists. The calibration of simulated and experimental profile data of blazed gratings is performed using Dr.LiTHO’s inbuilt optimizer - Pythmea. The difference between experimental and simulated profile shapes is expressed by an areaFit. Minimization of this areaFit versus photoresist parameters and correlation analysis help to identify the most appropriate model parameters.","PeriodicalId":217586,"journal":{"name":"Optical Systems Design","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116648522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They range from single wavelength, over monochromatic to broadband monitoring to calculate a monitoring signal, which allows to terminate each layer in a filter at the required thickness. State of the art monitoring systems offer the capability of monochromatic and broadband monitoring in a single device. With these technologies available, the question arises how to combine these monitoring strategies for a specific application in a way, which leads to accurate coating results with the least sensitivity to production errors and thus to the highest yield. To answer this question without the need to perform costly coating runs, we developed a software tool, which mimics all the monitoring features of Evatec’s GSM optical monitoring system. Additionally, the software is able to disturb the simulated ideal monitoring signal with errors such as detector noise, drifts, deviations in shutter delay times, etc. The values of these disturbances are specific to the deposition tool. They were determined based on the broadband spectra of actual coating runs. By starting a virtual coating run with defined disturbances, the thickness deviations expected with a selected strategy can be assessed and the development of thickness deviations during the run, i.e. error compensation and error accumulation can be simulated. Within the software, parameters for the termination of each layer can be varied individually and the effect on the coating result can be observed. In order to demonstrate the capability of this tool, a specific coating design was then selected. For this design various monitoring strategies were tested, broadband strategies with different wavelength ranges, monochromatic strategies varying wavelength assignment per layer but also mixed strategies of broadband and monochromatic monitoring. The most stable monitoring strategy resulting from these simulations was coated as well as some of the less promising candidates and their results were compared.","PeriodicalId":217586,"journal":{"name":"Optical Systems Design","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124142296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technology has the advantages of high resolution, rich contrast of optical imaging and high penetration depth of acoustic imaging. It is widely used in biomedical field, such as tumor detection. Photoacoustic images can not only reflect the structural characteristics of tissues, but also reflect the metabolic state, disease characteristics and even nerve activity of tissues, so as to realize functional imaging. Photoacoustic (PA) signals are inherently recorded in noisy environments and are also exposed to the noise of system components. The presence of noise has a great negative impact on image quality and interferes with image details. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the noise in PA signals to reconstruct images with less interference information. Because deep learning can process image information quickly and efficiently, deep learning has become the preferred method for photoacoustic image denoising in recent years. In this study, the photoacoustic blood vessel image obtained was added with a certain intensity of Gaussian noise, and the denoising generative adversarial network based on Wasserstein distance (WGAN) was used to denoise the photoacoustic blood image. For the purpose of evaluation, the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (RSNR), Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM), Universal Quality Index (UQI) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF) were calculated. According to the calculation results, this study effectively improves the image quality, proves the effectiveness of the neural network, and has good clinical significance and broad application prospects.","PeriodicalId":217586,"journal":{"name":"Optical Systems Design","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121055750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that polarized illumination can improve the local contrast of images or NILS (normalized intensity log slope). This work investigates the possibilities to polarize EUV light by optimized multilayers. The characterization and simulation of multilayer structures has been performed using Dr.LiTHO [10]. The most efficient multilayer polarizers operate close to Brewster angle, where the reflectivity for TM polarized light (RTM) is close to zero, according to Fresnel’s equations. A multiobjective optimization algorithm was used to identify the suitable multilayer configurations maximizing reflectivity of TE polarized light (RTE) and fraction of polarization. Fraction of polarization (FoP) was calculated as the ratio between (RTE-RTM)/(RTE+RTM) to obtain the suitable multilayer with variable thickness. The multilayer structure is optimized to have the highest reflectivity of TE polarized light and fraction of polarization at the Brewster angle. It was found that MoSi multilayer can achieve 99.9% fraction of polarization by optimizing the thickness of Si and Mo. In reality, a multilayer polarizer has to operate over certain ranges of incident angles and/or wavelength ranges. Multilayer is optimized for different ranges of wavelength (13 nm : 14 nm) and incidence angles (37° : 47°). Additional simulations investigate the impact of different options in the design of the multilayer (e.g., constant vs. variable bilayer thickness) and materials (e.g., RuSi vs. MoSi multilayers) on the achievable performance.","PeriodicalId":217586,"journal":{"name":"Optical Systems Design","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129664074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optical behavior of phosphors is temperature dependent, specifically the absorption coefficient, the conversion efficiency reflected in the quantum efficiency (QE) coefficient, and, to a lesser extent, the emission spectrum. For this reason, opto-thermal analysis is critical for further investigating and optimizing these systems. A steady-state opto-thermal simulation scheme that combines ray tracing in OpticStudio software with heat transfer calculations using the finite element method (F.E.M.) in ANSYS is presented and experimentally validated here.

The first group is corresponds to such parameters as radii of curvature and axial thicknesses, and the second one consists of the optical materials types. A number of algorithms to optimize both groups of variables simultaneously was developed and implemented in optical design software. However, as the working spectral range expands and requirements to the systems' aperture and performance increase, the efficiency of existing design tools for mixed-variables optimization may appear to be insufficient. On top of this, the standard optimization tools do not provide all the necessary control and customization options Therefore, we consider a custom optimization tool to perform a global search in mixed variables. It is based on the method of global optimization with selective averaging of variables. A positive selectivity coefficient is introduced into a positive decreasing functional kernel. With increase of the coefficient the averaging provides convergence of the target discrete variables to the optimal solution. We apply this principle to develop a custom optimization tool. It is used for optimization of an f/1.8 objective lens working in the NIR range of 0.9-1.8 microns with the field of view of 10 deg.
