Optical characteristics of the solution is represented as group refractive index by Long path TD-OCT, and it depends on solution concentration and temperature. In this study, the experimental result of the diluted alcohol solution was compared with the plural theoretical models. As a result, the measurement accuracy was confirmed with the refractive index error of less than 0.0001. Long path TD-OCT has potential to evaluate the target solution with volume, and the experiment was proceeded to monitor the spatial fluctuation process. As a result, the unique phenomenon was observed in the model experiment of partially different refractive index sample. The OCT signal had the change of knife-edge effect at the boundary of refractive index. More fundamental experiment was conducted to observe the phenomenon precisely. Now the theoretical approach was started to understand the phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"318 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120974524","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 the available spatial light modulators (SLM), Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) SLMs are the most popular for the simplicity of addressing and their relatively low costs. However, improving its efficiency demands reduction of higher diffraction orders. In this work we propose a new solution, that is the pixel apodization as the means to redirect the light intensity from the undesirable images to the main image. The higher diffraction orders are the result of the rectangular shape of the pixels of the SLM, as it can be concluded from the Fourier Transform (FT) analysis. Hence we exploit the known property that a Gaussian function is, up to a constant multiple, its own FT. The presented simulations support the theoretical conclusions, as the apodization allows for a significant lowering of the intensity of the third and higher diffraction orders, in the same time increasing the intensity directed to the main image.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"519 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122885788","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}

SPR spectroscopy is a label-free, nondestructive and highly sensitive measurement principle detecting changes in the refractive index in striking distance to a gold surface. A transfer of this technology to a miniaturized sensor will broaden the range of possible applications. A promising feature which is included in the miniaturized system is the angle-dependent recording of the SPR signals without moving parts. Commercial SPR assays are mainly working with a small number of sensing spots. In contrast, the SPR imaging system shown here will allow to use an array of many sensing spots. In combination with chemical receptors designed as an artificial nose, the simultaneous detection of many analytes is envisioned for future applications.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129714889","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}

For each of these bacteria, the image of a cell is recorded through a multiphoton microscope thus revealing the 3D shape of these bacteria. For the first time, the images of such bacteria are recorded without any labelling solution. A protocol of controlling the image produced is led thanks to a standard staining protocol with carboxy fluorescein diacetate (CFDA) for E. Coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Similar object shapes with or without labelling are produced, thus validating the label-free images generated by MPM. Then, the two-photon excitation spectra are measured for each of these bacteriaand the emission spectra delivered by E. Coli and Bacillus subtilis are shown. The origin of the two-photon fluorescence (TPF) emission of the bacteria thanks to the nonlinear imaging solution is discussed regarding to the TPF excitation and emission spectra of metabolic indicators.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130673258","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}
