We developed a method and performed an exploratory study to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the impact of varying degree of corneal roughness simulated through white and filtered noise, on the retinal image.\u0000\u0000Methods: A preliminary version of the Indiana Retinal Image Simulator (IRIS) (J Opt SocAm A Opt Image SciVis. 2008 Oct;25(10):2395-407) was used to simulate the polychromatic retinal image. Using patient-specific Zernike coefficients and pupil diameter, the impact of different levels of chromatic aberrations was calculated. Corneal roughness was modeled via both random and filtered noise (Biomed. Opt. Express 4, 220-229 (2013)), using distinct pre-calculated higher order Zernike coefficient terms. The outcome measures for the simulation were simulated retinal image, Strehl Ratio and Visual Strehl Ratio computed in frequency domain (VSOTF). The impact of varying degree of roughness (with and without refractive error), spatial frequency of the roughness, and pupil dilation was analyzed on these outcome measures. Standard simulation settings were pupil size = 6mm, Defocus Z[2,0] = 2 μm (-1.54D), and Spherical Aberrations Z[4,0] = 0.15 μm. The signal included the 2-4th Zernike orders, while noise used 7-8th Zernike orders. Noise was scaled to predetermined RMS values. All the terms in 5th and 6th Zernike order were set to 0, to avoid overlapping of signal and noise. \u0000\u0000Results: In case of a constant roughness term, reducing the pupil size resulted in improved outcome measures and simulated retinal image (Strehl = 0.005 for pupil size = 6mm to Strehl = 0.06 for pupil size = 3mm). The calculated image quality metrics deteriorated dramatically with increasing roughness (Strehl = 0. 3 for no noise; Strehl = 0.03 for random noise of 0.25µm at 6mm diameter; Strehl = 0.005 for random noise of 0.65µm at 6mm diameter). Clear distinction was observed in outcome measures for corneal roughness simulated as random noise compared to filtered noise, further influenced by the spatial frequency of filtered noise.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: The proposed method enables quantifying the impact of residual roughness in corneal ablation processes at relatively low cost. Since normally laser ablation is an integral process divided on a defined grid, the impact of spatially characterized noise represents a more realistic simulation condition. This method can help comparing different refractive laser platforms in terms of their associated roughness in ablation, indirectly improving the quality of results after Laser vision correction surgery.\u0000","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45440575","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}

In this work, we theoretically demonstrate the potential scaling capabilities of soliton self-compression in hollow capillary fibers with a decreasing pressure gradient to generate near-infrared sub-cycle pulses in very different dispersion and nonlinearity landscapes. Independently of input pulse, gas and fiber choices, we present a simple and general route to find the optimal self-compression parameters which result in high-quality pulses. The use of a decreasing pressure gradient naturally favors the self-compression process, resulting in shorter and cleaner sub-cycle pulses, and an improvement in the robustness of the setup when compared to the traditional constant pressure approach.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47776922","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}

Roussey","doi":"10.1051/jeos/2023010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1051/jeos/2023010","url":null,"abstract":"In this study a commercial particle analyzer was used to image and help sorting microplastic particles (MPs) dispersed in filtrated and de-aerated tap water. The device provides a relatively easy and fast procedure for obtaining ultra-high-definition imaging, allowing the determination of shape, size, and number of 2D-projections of solid particles. The image analysis revealed clear differences among the studied different MPs originating from the grinding of five common grades of plastic sheets as they affect the image rendering differently, principally due to the light scattering either at the surface or in the volume of the microplastics. The high-quality imaging of the device also allows the discrimination of the microplastics from air bubbles with well-defined spherical shapes as well as to obtain an estimate of the size of MPs in a snapshot. We associate the differences among the shapes of the identified MPs in this study depending on the plastic type with known physical properties, such as brittleness, crystallinity, or softness. Furthermore, as a novel method we exploit a parameter based on the light intensity map from moving particles in cuvette flow to sort MPs from other particles, such as, wood fiber, human hair, and air bubbles. Using the light intensity map, which is related to the plastic-water refractive index ratio, the presence of microplastics in water can be revealed among other particles, but not their specific plastic type.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48754023","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}

A femtosecond oscillator is used to pump a Polarization Maintaining All Normal Dispersion Photonic Crystal Fibre (PM-ANDi-PCF) to generate a broad band supercontinuum, covering a spectral region from 680 – 900 nm. The dispersion properties of the PM-ANDi-PCF ensures the supercontinuum is stable and there exists a fixed phase relationship between the spectral components of the supercontinuum. This enables its temporal compression using i2PIE, implemented using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) in a 4f geometry. This SLM is also used to shape the pulse spectrally and temporally. With this setup we could demonstrate time-resolved CARS, measuring the vibrational relaxation times of a CS2/benzene mixture, and eliminate the non-resonant background completely. The main advantage of this setup is the fact that it is a single beam technique, eliminating the requirement for aligning the overlap of the pump and probe, both spatially and temporally, in the focal plane of the microscope. The strengths and limitations of the technique are highlighted and the route to time-resolved/background free vibrational microscopy is proposed.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47395108","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 optoelectronic properties and structural characteristics of the multilayers at various Cu intermetallic layer thicknesses which were varied from 4 to 16 nm were explored. The calculated band gap was reduced from 2.66 eV to 2.48 eV as the Cu intermetallic layer thickness increased from 4 to 16 nm. The refractive index and coefficient of extinction of CdO/Cu/CdO multilayers increased with increasing the Cu intermetallic layer thickness. The resistivity is reduced from 1.8×10−2 Ω.cm for CdO single layer to reach a value of 2.7×10−4 Ω.cm for CdO/Cu (16nm)/CdO multilayer. Further, the sheet resistance is decreased from 1000 to 13.8 /sq with the variation in Cu intermetallic layer thickness from 0 to 16 nm. CdO/Cu (4 nm)/CdO multilayer film recorded the best figure of merit (2.3x10-4 Ω−1).

The quality of optical components such as lenses or mirrors can be described by shape errors and surface roughness. Whilst the trend towards sub nanometre level surfaces finishes and features progresses, matching both form and finish coherently in complex parts remains a major challenge. With larger or more precise optics, the influence of process instabilities on the quality of the optics to be polished has a greater impact. Vibrations at a polishing head have a negative influence on the polishing result. These vibrations are caused by bearing damage, motors and other excitations (e.g. gears, belts). The aim of this work is the determination of vibrations at a polishing head and their avoidance strategies. Different bearing conditions are considered: new and perfect bearing, a bearing that has been in contact with polish (rust) and a bearing with repeatable damage (groove milled on the running surface). It can be shown that the frequencies of bearings affect the polishing tool. Furthermore, reasons for and against vibrations in the process are discussed. For the case of vibrationless machining, avoidance strategies were presented.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49613921","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}

This Chirped Spectral Modulation CSM algorithm can deal with mixtures containing unknown elements rather than the elements whose concentrations are aimed. This novel algorithm, when compared to existing pattern recognition techniques, makes it easy to analyze the constituents of a mixture with high accuracy in the presence of traces of unknown components. It is found that the new algorithm can detect the presence of gas pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide in a sample containing many other unknown polluting elements. This new algorithm is tested on air samples composed of predetermined percentages of air constituents and the results of calculations are compared with those of Classical Least Squares CLS pattern recognition algorithm. The comparison showed that the new algorithm can detect down to very small traces of harmful gases such as NO2, and SO2, at least one order of magnitude less than those detected by the CLS approach. Finally, the new algorithm is used to examine collected air samples from an industrial zone, and in the middle and at the exit of a road tunnel in Riyadh area which showed that the percentages of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide are well below the safe levels.","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41299653","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}
