Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation

Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...

Image scanning microscopy with a doughnut beam: signal strength and integrated intensity

Giorgio Tortarolo

We discuss the effects of image scanning microscopy using doughnut beam illumination on the properties of signal strength and integrated intensity. Doughnut beam illumination can give better optical sectioning and background rejection than Airy disk illumi ...

Slice-Less Optical Arbitrary Waveform Measurement (OAWM) in a Bandwidth of More Than 600 GHz

Tobias Kippenberg, Grigorii Likhachev

We demonstrate an optical arbitrary waveform measurement (OAWM) technique that exploits optical frequency combs as multi-wavelength local oscillators (LO) and that does not require any optical slicing filters. In a proof-of-concept experiment, we achieve r ...

Quantitative Mapping of the Charge Density in a Monolayer of MoS2 at Atomic Resolution by Off-Axis Electron Holography

Andras Kis, Dumitru Dumcenco, Dmitry Ovchinnikov

The electric potential, electric field, and charge density of a monolayer of MoS2 have been quantitatively measured at atomic-scale resolution. This has been performed by off-axis electron holography using a double aberration-corrected transmission electro ...

A Point-Spread-Function-Aware Filtered Backprojection Algorithm for Focal-Plane-Scanning Optical Projection Tomography

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling

Traditional optical projection tomography requires the use of low numerical aperture objectives in order to achieve a large depth of field and approximate parallel projection geometry. However, low NA objectives suffer from poor resolution, resulting in bl ...
