The x-ray focusing properties of linear Fresnel zone plates have been derived by solving the Helmholtz equation for the field propagating through the zones. We consider the imaging of a point object into the first diffraction order of a volume zone plate h ...
A new concept for a 1 × 2 micromechanical optical switch with 10 μs of switching speed, 29 dB of ON/OFF ratio, and insertion loss of −7.22 dB for λ = 1550 nm and −4.96 dB for λ = 635 nm is presented. The idea is to insert a micromechanical switching mechan ...
Presently, a remote steering (RS) antenna [C.P. Moeller, A method of remotely steering a microwave beam launched from a highly overmoded corrugated waveguide, in: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on IRMMW, Colchester, UK, 1998] is envisione ...
An optically-active multi-layer dielectric structure comprises an optically active zone between two mirrors forming a Fabry-Perot microcavity. The optically active zone comprises an optically active material of wavelength lambda centred in a layer of high ...
We use rigorous diffraction theory to analyze the force on elliptical cylinders made from silver as a function of the elongation. We find that, when the wires are illuminated at the plasmon wavelength and placed in a highly focused Gaussian beam, they are ...
We review a representative selection of systems that support the management of collaborative learning interaction, and characterize them within a simple classification framework. The framework distinguishes between mirroring systems, which display basic ac ...
We present a new model of optical coherence tomography (OCT) taking into account multiple scattering. A theoretical analysis and experimental investigation reveals that in OCT, despite multiple scattering, the field backscattered from the sample is general ...
We propose here some basic approaches to direct processing of the 360o-images as we take into consideration the geometry of each one. Obviously, the geometry of each of these images is a consequence of the geometry of the sensor's mirror used. This tech ...
We derive the behavior of the average exit time (i.e., the number of reflections before escape) of a ray path traveling between two perfect mirrors subject to dynamic random-tilt aberrations. Our calculation is performed in the paraxial approximation. When ...
We report the fabrication of high-finesse strongly coupled microcavities composed of a polystyrene film doped with the dye tetraphenyl-porphyrin zinc positioned between two high reflectivity dielectric mirrors. The bottom mirror was deposited by plasma enh ...
