Magic lantern, cinema, and their Japanese names
This paper examines the perception of Western optics and projection technologies in Japan from the 18th through the 20th centuries, which led to the development of film, television, and other forms of media.

Optical Vortices shape Optical Tornados
We demonstrate that by seeding an accelerating ring-Airy beam with a finite number of off-axis optical vortices, it transforms into a Tornado wave (ToW) upon propagation. Using numerical simulations, we show that both the spiraling high-intensity lobes and the optical vortices exhibit angular acceleration and follow interwinding braid-like trajectories.

The Relation of Quantitative and Mathematical Methods in Science and Late Medieval Christian Theology [PDF]
One of the most important features of modern science is its quantitative and mathematical method. It is commonly held that this method was developed along with modern science, during the 16th century, but a close historical investigation would suggest ...

Optical Microfiber All-Optical Phase Modulator for Fiber Optic Hydrophone [PDF]
In order to meet the needs of phase generated carrier (PGC) demodulation technology for interferometric fiber optic hydrophones, we proposed an optical microfiber all-optical phase modulator (OMAOPM) based on the photo-induced thermal phase shift effect, which can be used as a phase carrier generation component, so as to make the modulation efficiency ...

Optical-component-only adaptive optics
This Letter introduces a technique for performing binary adaptive optics, which is carried out by optical components only, without the help of any electronic or optoelectronic device. In this technique, the interferogram produced by a point diffraction interferometer modulates a light-driven crystal. The modulated light-driven crystal may produce pupil-

Proton Beam Therapy in the Treatment of Periorbital Malignancies [PDF]
Purpose: Periorbital tumor location presents a significant challenge with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy due to high tumor dose needed in the setting of close proximity to orbital structures with lower ...

The nature of light is a focus of Thomas Hobbes’s natural philosophical project. Hobbes’s explanation of the light (lux) of lucid bodies differs across his works, from dilation and contraction in Elements of Law to simple circular motions in De corpore ...

Designing disordered multi-functional metamaterials using the discrete dipole approximation
The ability to design passive structures that perform different operations on different electromagnetic fields is key to many technologies, from beam-steering to optical computing.
