In this study, we designed a special temperature control device and an electric field device for a microfluidic chip to examine the terahertz spectral characteristics of konjac gum at different temperatures, concentrations, and electric field exposure time using the terahertz time domain spectroscopy system. Results demonstrate that higher concentrations of konjac gum lead to higher transmission intensity of terahertz radiation and a lower absorption of the radiation. Higher temperatures of the konjac gum lead to lower terahertz transmittance, and longer exposure time in the electric field leads to a lower transmittance of terahertz radiation and its higher absorption by the konjac gum. At the same time, we explain this phenomenon from the perspective of micromolecules. This study provides technical guidance for the detection of konjac gum by terahertz technology.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48287133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Most RBC segmentation and classification methods, limited by interference of staining procedures and poor details, are based on traditional bright field microscopy. In the present study, quantitative phase imaging (QPI) technology was combined with deep learning for automatic classification of RBC morphology. QPI can be used to observe unstained RBCs with high spatial resolution and phase information. In deep learning based on phase information, boundary curvature is used to reduce inadequate learning for preliminary screening of the three shapes of unstained RBCs. The model accuracy was 97.3% for the stacked sparse autoencoder plus Softmax classifier. Compared with the traditional convolutional neural network, the developed method showed a lower misclassification rate and less processing time, especially for RBCs with more discocytes. This method has potential applications in automatically evaluating the quality of long-term stored blood and real-time diagnosis of RBC-related diseases.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47099680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The plasmonic materials are metallic gold and ITO coated on the inner walls of two extra-large vertically arranged air holes. The resonance effect is triggered by guided modes propagating through the silica core and coupling to the coating areas. The finite element method is used to analyze the properties of the filter for the two fundamental orthogonal polarizations. A filtering effect is achieved in the communication window by optimizing the structural factors as well as gold film and ITO deposition thicknesses. When the filter is 1 mm long, the obtained filtering effect is 1319.689 dB/cm for the y-polarization and 31.881 dB/cm for the x-polarization, thus efficiently attenuating the y-component at a communication window of 1.15 μm. With a filtering bandwidth of 602 nm, the proposed filter shows superior characteristics compared with previously reported results. Applications of the proposed plasmonic PCF-based filter can be found in polarization-maintaining and polarization-suppressing systems for optical sensing and broadband transmission.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47446530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The optical components of the athermalizing connection structure consist of three parts arranged from the outside to the inside. The materials of the intermediate parts are different from those of the external and internal ones. The relationship between the parameters of the athermalizing connection structure is deduced based on the mechanics of materials. The surface errors of optical components at different temperatures are simulated for an exemplary structure. The simulation results show that the root mean square (RMS) of the optical component surface is approximately proportional to the temperature. When the temperature drops by 10 °C, the RMS changes by 0.66 nm as compared to its value measured at 20 °C. The temperature deflection test of the optical components carried out in the temperature range of 20 ± 5 °C provides the RMS values of the optical face of 0.019λ at 15 °C and 0.02λ at 25 °C. The change of RMS obtained in this test amounts to 0.63 nm for a temperature difference of 10 °C, which deviates from the respective simulated value by 4%. The experimental results show that the athermalizing connection method proposed in this paper ensures small deformations of optical components at large temperature changes. Therefore, it meets the requirements for the application of optical components and is suitable for the connection of high-precision components.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46316879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

However, it is difficult to make a quantitative analysis of the spectral signals that involve a large number of high-order micropolarizability tensors. It is reported that the CARS and CAHRS microscopic hyperpolarizability tensor elements can be decomposed into the product of the differentiation of Raman microscopic polarizability tensor α′i′j′ and hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor β′i′j′k′ so that the high-order spectra can be simplified to the analysis of low-order spectra. In this paper, we use the bond additivity model (BAM) combined with experimental corrections to address the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule and present the simplified scheme for differentiation of hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements β′i′j′k′. Taking advantage of this approach, combined with the experimental correction, the differentiation of Hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements β′i′j′k′ of the CO2 is obtained and the expressions of β′i′j′k′ for antisymmetric vibrations of CO2 are deduced. Finally, substituting the differentiation of Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements α′i′j′ reported in the literature into the ratio above can obtain the proportional relationship between the microscopic polarizability tensor elements of CARS and CAHRS of the CO2. This method can provide the basis for the quantitative analysis of high-order nonlinear spectral profiles.","PeriodicalId":55995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Optics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42134561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
