To overcome these problems, various chemometric data analysis techniques have been combined with LIBS technique. In this study, LIBS was used to show its potential as a routine analysis for Na measurements in bakery products. A series of standard bread samples containing various concentrations of NaCl (0.025%–3.5%) was prepared to compare different calibration techniques.

We introduce another mapping-type algorithm to tackle the integrability problem, which instead of establishing a mapping between both the source and target irradiance in the space domain, the mapping is assumed on electric fields of a Fourier pair between the space domain and the spatial-frequency domain. By solving the mapping from the Fourier pair, the gradient of the output phase is achieved, that the gradient is equivalent to the obtained mapping function. Moreover, the existence and the characterization of the mapping guarantees the integrability of the gradient so that a smooth output phase can be directly integrated. Based on the obtained smooth output phase, a freeform surface can then be designed for the light-shaping task. Numerical examples are demonstrated for the comparison of the approaches with different mapping assumptions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://jeos.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s41476-021-00161-y","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138514732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of this method is verified using simulations in comparison to the typical method of depositing the absorbing thin film directly onto a transparent substrate. An experimental demonstration is made for titanium thin films over the visible range (370-835 nm). The refractive index of these films is extracted from experimental data using a combination of the Modified Drude and Forouhi-Bloomer models.

In addition, fusion technique can reduce captured images count for a 3D scene, which helps to improve real-time performance. Unfortunately, it is difficult for binary defocusing technique and fusion technique working simultaneously. To this end, our research established a novel system framework consisting of dual projectors and a camera, where the position and posture of the dual projectors are not strictly required. And, the dual projectors can adjust defocusing level independently. Based on this, this paper proposed a complementary decoding method with unconstrained dual projectors. The core idea is that low-resolution information is employed for high-resolution phase unwrapping. For this purpose, we developed the low-resolution depth extraction strategy based on periodic space-time coding patterns and the method from the low-resolution order to high-resolution order of fringe. Finally, experimental results demonstrated the performance of our proposed method, and the proposed method only requires three images for a 3D scene, as well as has strong robustness, expansibility, and implementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4423611","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}
