The light impinging on the Fresnel zone plate is divided into a number of diffraction orders. We use the 0rd light, which propagate along the original direction, as the reference beam. And the first order focus is used as a virtual point source after which the sample is placed. The light transmitted through the sample is scattered by the object and the structure information is carried by the light. The interference fringes created by the first and zero order diffraction are recorded by a digital camera. Afterwards, the object information is retrieved using reconstruction algorithm. With the aid of the Fresnel zone plate, an image with higher lateral resolution and lower noise could be obtained. This holographic microscope is tested with several samples and the results show that the lateral resolution is good, and for the phase object, the measured phased difference is accurate compared with the AFM test result.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125708956","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}

Two exciting but not fully understood finding were made: i) tertiary amines can be used as the effective molecular linkers; ii) the structure of central fragment between two benzyl rings has a strong influence on the modifier ability to incorporate the Ag nanoparticles into agglomerates with hot spots.

In practice, we deal with Fresnel diffraction integral as approximate diffraction formula. By optical instruments, an optical wave is subject to a band limited. To reveal the band-limited effect in Fresnel transform plane, we seek the function that its total power in finite Fresnel transform plane is maximized, on condition that an input signal is zero outside the bounded region. This problem is a variational one with an accessory condition. This leads to the eigenvalue problems of Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. The kernel of the integral equation is Hermitian conjugate and positive definite. Therefore, eigenvalues are real non-negative numbers. Moreover, we also prove that the eigenfunctions corresponding to distinct eigenvalues have dual orthogonal property. By discretizing the kernel and integral calculus range, the eigenvalue problems of the integral equation depend on a one of the Hermitian matrix in finite dimensional vector space. We use the Jacobi method to compute all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix. We consider the application of the eigenvectors to the problem of approximating a function and showed the validity of the eigenvectors in computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127480399","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}

From LIBS measurements, it has been shown, that the plasma electron density can be use for the basic classification of different types of DPM matrices. The excitation temperatures of atoms and ions in plasma can be use for further quantitative analyses of diverse Diesel Particulate Matter. The aim of this study is to reveal the compounds, which are mostly dominant in the Diesel engine exhaust emissions and can affect the overall composition of the DPM. The presence of these elements in exhaust emission may point to different processes, mainly to fuel quality, insufficient engine combustion process, incomplete catalytic reaction, inefficient Diesel particulate filtering technique, or failure of the Diesel engine.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126210090","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 temperature distributions was measured with a thermos-viewer. In addition, relationship between structure and heat dissipation properties in these structure devices are analysed with a three-dimensional model. As a result, it was clarified from experiments and simulations to improve heat dissipation properties by embedding ridge with Au or Cu. Furthermore, the thermal properties of the QCL device was measured by the statics method to separate the thermal resistance of the ridge, that of substrate, and that of mount parts. It was shown that the thermal resistance improves by more than 2 K/W from 9.3 K/W to 6.9 K/W by embedding ridge with Au or Cu.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"1947 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129272801","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}

However, this type of geometry is limited by a beam profile with significantly different divergence values on the fast and slow axes.

The technique was used in conjunction with a galvanometer scanner to adjust the laser energy density and scanning speed, thereby inducing the amorphous crystallization of thin films. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the structural properties of annealed thin films. Analysis with different galvanometer scanning speed during annealing and laser pulse repetition rates during annealing revealed that the two diffraction peaks (i.e., the (002) and (103) peaks) of the zinc oxide thin films became more noticeable as the laser pulse repetition rate increased. When the galvanometer scanning speed during annealing was set to 400 mm/s and 600 mm/s, the full width at half of the maximum (FWHM) of the AZO thin films decreased while the annealing frequency increased. By contrast, when the annealing speed was 800 mm/s, increasing the annealing frequency caused the FWHM to decrease and then increase. An analysis of the residual stress of the annealed thin film confirmed that when the annealing speed was reduced from 800 mm/s to 400 mm/s, increases in laser pulse repetition rate resulted in increased residual stress.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129540497","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}

We developed a simple channel model with error parameters describing the channel and the potential polarization switching in the transmitter, to see how those effects influence the QBER in a polarization-qubit BB84 implementation.
