A Noise Removal Algorithm Based on OPTICS for Photon-Counting LiDAR Data
Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) shows great potential for forest height retrieval. However, there are abundant noise photons in the ICESat-2 data, which make the accurate extraction of global forest heights challenging.

Treatment planning with a 2.5 MV photon beam for radiation therapy
Abstract Purpose The shallow depth of maximum dose and higher dose fall‐off gradient of a 2.5 MV beam along the central axis that is available for imaging on linear accelerators is investigated for treatment of shallow tumors and sparing the organs at risk (OARs) beyond it.

Aperiodic electro-optic time lens for spectral manipulation of single-photon pulses [PDF]
Electro-optic time lenses are promising experimental components for photonic spectral-temporal processing of quantum information. We report a stable method to realize an electro-optic time lens, which relies on the amplification of an electronic response of a fast photodiode.

Volume staging for arteriovenous malformation SRS treatment using VMAT
Abstract Volume staging involves dividing the target volume into smaller parts and treating each part separately. In this study, the feasibility of volume‐staged stereotactic radiosurgery (VS‐SRS) on a linear accelerator using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and a frameless patient positioning system is investigated.
