Diamond diffractive optics-recent progress and perspectives

Niels Quack, Gergely Huszka, Sichen Mi

Diamond is an exceptional material that has recently seen a remarkable increase in interest in academic research and engineering since high-quality substrates became commercially available and affordable. Exploiting the high refractive index, hardness, las ...

Diffractive Optical Elements Investigation in the Phase Domain

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we demonstrate the advantages of investigating diffractive optical elements in the phase domain. In this regime we can detect features that are not restrained by the diffraction limit and relate them to the geometrical and optical properties o ...

SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING2019

Nowadays, diffractive optical elements are used for a variety of applications because of their high design flexibility, compact size, and mass productivity. At the same time, they require having high and complex optical functionalities such as a large numb ...

Deformation and degradation of superelastic NiTi under multiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Efthymios Polatidis, Nicola Casati, Wei-Neng Hsu

The degradation of the superelastic properties of a commercial NiTi alloy is studied during uniaxial, biaxial and load-path-change cycling performed in-situ with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Careful examination of the diffraction pattern during uniaxial ...
