They can also reduce high spatial frequency surface roughness, potentially replacing mechanical-abrasive polishing. Plasma jet polishing involves thermally driven material redistribution. Current research aims to predict surface topography and roughness by analyzing initial surface topography and the local effect of the plasma jet tool. The tool interaction function was mathematically described by evaluating a microstructure pattern before and after plasma jet polishing, revealing a 2D Gaussian convolution function. This function can be applied to areal topography measurements of lapped and mechanically ground surfaces to predict the polishing performance with respect to reduction of tool marks originating from pre-machining processes. Additionally, the convolution function can be used to predict the dimensions of an initial surface structure in order to produce a defined smooth microstructure using plasma jet polishing. Evaluating the smoothing capability of plasma jet polishing helps identify suitable pre-machining conditions in optics manufacturing, such as grinding or laser micromachining, enabling a more efficient process chain for freeform optics fabrication.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41281757","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 results of a data-driven feature selection approach show that a reliable discrimination of the tissue is still possible, even though utilizing only a small fraction of the measured data. A selected arrangement of only a few narrow-band quantum cascade lasers could provide proficient signal-to-noise ratios and can noticeably reduce the data acquisition time.

The form of nonlinear refractive index represents polynomial law nonlinearity. By virtue of phase-matching condition, the discussed model of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation is reduced to an integrable form. Consequently, chirped optical solitons having various profiles such as W-shaped, bright, dark, kink and anti-kink solitons are derived. Further to this, the chirp associated with these soliton structures are extracted. The impact of dispersive reflectivity, self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation on the pulse propagation is investigated and it is induced that the changes of self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation cause a marked rise in soliton amplitude which is subject to minor variations by dispersive reflectivity. The physical evolutions of chirped optical solitons are described along with the corresponding chirp to pave the way for possible applications in the field of fiber BGs.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48941937","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}

Here we introduce a robust fiber coupled hand-held BLS probe and demonstrate its reliability for measuring excised human tissue.

Doing so in the back focal plane of the microscope objective makes the calibration insensitive to the joint displacement of the trap and bead. Here, in addition, we take advantage of the very well contrasted interference rings observed in this specific plane to extract with good accuracy the height of the trapped bead. We thus map the viscous drag dependence close to the surface and reach an agreement between four calibration techniques, on an accurate value of the trap stiffness down to 2 micron distance to the surface and up to 600 mW of laser power. Combining this detection scheme with phase contrast microscopy, we show that the phase ring in the back focal plane of the objective overlaps with the interference rings and must be deported in a conjugate plane on the imaging path.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47908663","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}
