The bright optical/NIR afterglow of the faint GRB 080710 - Evidence for a jet viewed off axis [PDF]

, 2009
We investigate the optical/near-infrared light curve of the afterglow of GRB 080710 in the context of rising afterglows. Optical and near-infrared photometry was performed using the seven channel imager GROND and the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope.

Optical Kerr Gating as a Strategy for Noise Reduction in Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We report an experimental approach, where an Optical Kerr gate is incorporated with Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectrometry (FSRS). The gate functions as a temporal filter that preferentially suppresses the FSRS inherent background. FSRS spectra are reported with the Kerr‐gated methodology with significantly improved SNR compared to the conventional ...

Transmission Raman Spectroscopy (TRS) for Accurate Authentication of API in Coated Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Tablets

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We report the development and use of a transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) system for a more accurate but nonintrusive way of authentication of API in coated HCQ tablets which otherwise is not possible using the backscattered (BS) configuration of Raman spectroscopy. The coating interference is found to be almost zero in case of the TRS and a greater

Lightness dependence of achromatic loci in color-appearance coordinates

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Shifts in the appearance of color under different illuminant chromaticity are known to be incomplete, and fit nicely with a simple linear transformation of cone responses that aligns the achromatic points under two illuminants. Most chromaticity-transfer

Highly efficient broadband polarization retarders and tunable polarization filters made of composite stacks of ordinary wave plates

, 2014
By using the formal analogy between the evolution of the state vector in quantum mechanics and the Jones vector in polarization optics, we construct and demonstrate experimentally efficient broadband half-wave polarization retarders and tunable ...

Coherence‐Gated Mirau Interferometry for Single‐Shot Quantitative Phase Imaging and Motion Sensing

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This paper presents a compact add‐on module converting a Mirau or other on‐axis interferometer into a single‐shot quantitative phase imaging system using coherence gating and precise optical path matching. Demonstrations include time‐resolved imaging of human cells and streaming red blood cells, visualization of evaporation dynamics in liquid mixtures,

Laser‐Based In Situ Diagnostics of Temperature and Material‐Growth Dynamics in Photothermal Laser Nanoprinting of ZnO

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work elucidates the previously unknown thermal dynamics during sub‐micrometer photothermal laser printing of zinc oxide using a non‐invasive transmission‐based in situ measurement. The elevated temperatures are shown to be highly localized around the laser focal spot, reaching average temperature increases of about 113 K per mW of laser power ...

Automated Photothermal Control of Block Copolymer Self‑Assembly and Metal Oxide Nanostructures Sintering

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This study presents a microscope‐based photothermal platform that integrates structured laser light projection with machine‐learning‐optimized illumination. By employing neural‐network models to predict and generate thermal profiles, the platform achieves precise thermal processing of block copolymer films.

Improving the Resolution and Throughput of Achromatic Talbot Lithography

, 2018
High-resolution patterning of periodic structures over large areas has several applications in science and technology. One such method, based on the long-known Talbot effect observed with diffraction gratings, is achromatic Talbot lithography (ATL). This
