Large area optimization of meta-lens via data-free machine learning

open access: yesCommunications Engineering, 2023
Sub-wavelength diffractive optics, commonly known as meta-optics, present a complex numerical simulation challenge, due to their multi-scale nature. The behavior of constituent sub-wavelength scatterers, or meta-atoms, needs to be modeled by full-wave ...

Diffractive Microlensing I: Flickering Planetesimals at the Edge of the Solar System

open access: yes, 2009
Microlensing and occultation are generally studied in the geometric optics limit. However, diffraction may be important when recently discovered Kuiper-Belt objects (KBOs) occult distant stars.

Power Coupling Efficiency Enhancement in Multimode Step-Index Fiber Using Refractive and Diffractive Microlenses

open access: yesInternational Journal of Optics, 2010
A novel study has been undertaken for the coupling efficiency enhancement on planar (refractive and diffractive) microlenses as coupling elements with various geometrical shapes in fibre optics communication. When the dispersion of the planar diffractive

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Diffraction of Bloch Wave Packets for Maxwell's Equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study, for times of order 1/h, solutions of Maxwell's equations in an O(h^2) modulation of an h-periodic medium. The solutions are of slowly varying amplitude type built on Bloch plane waves with wavelength of order h.

Microstructural Evolution and Vacancy Defect Formation in Mn–Mo–Ni RPV Steel Under Low Cycle Fatigue: Insights From EBSD and PALS

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐cycle fatigue damage in Mn–Mo–Ni reactor pressure vessel steel is examined using a combined electron backscatter diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy approach. The study correlates texture evolution, dislocation substructure development, and vacancy‐type defect formation across uniform, necked, and fracture regions, providing

Exclusive Jet Measurement in Special LHC Runs - Feasibility Studies

open access: yes, 2016
The feasibility studies of the central exclusive jet production at the LHC using the proton tagging technique are presented. Three classes of data taking scenarios are considered: double tag at high pile-up, single tag at low pile-up and double tag at ...

Tribological Performance of 60NiTi Alloy Under Varying Contact Conditions and Elevated Temperatures in Linear Reciprocating Sliding

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the tribological response of 60NiTi alloy under dry, water‐lubricated and high‐temperature conditions. The alloy exhibits decreasing wear volume and friction with increasing temperature due to the formation of protective oxide layers. The work clarifies dominant wear mechanisms and demonstrates the suitability of 60NiTi for high‐
