The characterization of microchips, integrated circuits, MEMS, and micro-sensors is important to determine their proper operation. Due to their element small size may have structural fails for improper handling of them. This paper proposes the use of a Michelson interferometric objective for the determination of topographical features in materials at micro and nanoscale level. The main advantage of this method is its non-invasive nature that allows testing in soft materials without damage. The Michelson interferometric microscope objective with a magnification of 5X illuminated with a 632nm He-Ne laser is used. Fringes that allow the study of the topography of these structures are properly analyzed. The acquisition of the interferograms was performed by a CCD, which are handled by the method of phase-stepping. An integrated circuit of a CCD as target is used. A reconstruction of the microscopic topography of the sample produced results with a statistical error in the topography of 12nm. Application of this method is to conduct quality control tests in manufacture of electronic components such as micro-chips and integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":320610,"journal":{"name":"The International Commission for Optics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127702531","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 present a new, alternative method, GA-MCML, for determining optical properties based on a Monte Carlo tech- nique for radiative transport (MCML) guided by a genetics algorithm. The Monte Carlo method is more exible than the adding-doubling technique and can be adapted to a wider range of sample geometries. The genetic algorithm is a robust search technique that is well-adapted to avoiding the local minima in this optimization problem. GA-MCML, has been implemented by modifying the MCML source code to account for two common experimental problems: light losses due to the nite sample size and non-linear integrating sphere eects using Mott's equations. GA-MCML was validated by comparing with IAD method for data acquired at 632.8 nm on a set of phantoms using a single integrating sphere system. The GA-MCML results were equivalent to the IAD technique.","PeriodicalId":320610,"journal":{"name":"The International Commission for Optics","volume":"678 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116106554","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}

In our recent works we have demonstrated that in some liquid crystals (LC's) the effective nonlinear refraction index (γ) is polarization dependent. Moreover, under certain conditions it is possible to realize inversion of γ, from γ > 0 to γ < 0, by proper adjustment of incident lightwave polarization. In this work we present experimental evidence that this LC is capable of supporting both bright and dark spatial solitons. The experimental setup used for characterization of solitons used two CCD cameras, which allowed us to analyze the longitudinal and transverse propagation characteristics of solitons in a glass cell containing a LC. It was possible to observe a clear correlation between the phase and the polarization state of incident light and the characteristic profile of the dark or bright soliton. The extreme values of the effective nonlinear refraction index were measured to be γ = -4.68 × 10-10 cm2/W (dark spatial soliton case), and γ = 2.80 × 10-10 cm2/W (bright spatial soliton). The key parameters of spatial solitons were estimated by using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.","PeriodicalId":320610,"journal":{"name":"The International Commission for Optics","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116432351","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}

Image processing can be used to correct for these artifacts, but due to the calculation-intensive nature of the required distortion correction process, this is usually performed offline. This is not an option in image-based applications that operate interactively, however, where the real-time display of distortion corrected images can be vital. To this end, we propose a new technique to correct for arbitrary geometric lens distortion that uses the parallel processing power of a commercial graphics processing unit (GPU). By offloading the distortion correction process to the GPU, we can relieve the central processing unit (CPU) of doing this computationally very demanding task. We successfully implemented the full distortion correction algorithm on the GPU, thereby achieving a display rate of over 30 frames/sec for fully processed images of size 1024 × 768 pixels without the need for any additional digital image processing hardware.","PeriodicalId":320610,"journal":{"name":"The International Commission for Optics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122755912","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 results show that for the shorter wavelength the effect of scattering is bigger around the center of the images while for the longest wavelength the light distribution is larger in the edges of the images.

A femtosecond mode-locked Titanium:Sapphire laser was used to generate supercontinua within a set of higher-order electromagnetic modes by piezoelectric control of the spatial field input to the PCF. Coupling pump wavelengths within the normal dispersion regime for the fundamental EM mode into higher EM modes resulted in the emission of blue light, characteristic of higher order soliton fission, in higher order EM modes. Detailed spectral measurements across the spatial mode field output from the PCF, showed different spectral components of the generated continua occupying different spatial electromagnetic modes. In particular, the blue emission was found to be structured with spectral wavelengths at 440 nm and 450 nm associated with different spatial EM modes. These new measurements are the first to detail high order solitonic interactions in higher order electromagnetic modes and to record different spectral emission wavelengths associated with different higher order spatial modes. These results are not well matched to current theoretical models for supercontinuum generation developed for the fundamental EM mode. The lower zero dispersion wavelengths associated with higher EM modes in PCF enable previously undetected engagement of these modes in supercontinuum generation and propagation.","PeriodicalId":320610,"journal":{"name":"The International Commission for Optics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133044548","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}
