Abstract: Accurate characterization of surfaces using cantilever-based optical beam deflection (OBD) systems is crucial for obtaining the sample’s “true” topography and its corresponding material ...

Acousto-optics is a versatile technology that allows users to precisely and rapidly control the wavelength, amplitude and propagation direction of a laser beam. These capabilities are proving popular ...

Mark Chapman openly admits his bias. "Being a youngster watching the New Zealand team, I took inspiration from the left-handers as a fellow left-hander. I had a Gunn & Moore Purist as one of my first ...

Abstract: We propose and demonstrate a scheme producing high-order Bessel beams of equal/uniform intensity within a set range by illuminating a logarithmic axicon with a vortex phase plate generated ...
