The language of Einstein spoken by optical instruments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Einstein had to learn the mathematics of Lorentz transformations in order to complete his covariant formulation of Maxwell's equations. The mathematics of Lorentz transformations, called the Lorentz group, continues playing its important role in optical ...

MICADO: the E-ELT adaptive optics imaging camera [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2010
MICADO is the adaptive optics imaging camera for the E-ELT. It has been designed and optimised to be mounted to the LGS-MCAO system MAORY, and will provide diffraction limited imaging over a wide (~1 arcmin) field of view.

Algorithmically Optimized Hemispherical Dome as a Secondary Optical Element for the Fresnel Lens Solar Concentrator

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The significance of this work lies in the development of a novel code-based, detailed, and deterministic geometrical approach that couples the optimization of the Fresnel lens primary optical element (POE) and the dome-shaped secondary optical element ...

Quantum optics with bosons and fermions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Atom optics, a field which takes much inspiration from traditional optics, has advanced to the point that some of the fundamental experiments of quantum optics, involving photon correlations, have found atomic analogs.

Inverse design enables large-scale high-performance meta-optics reshaping virtual reality [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Meta-optics has achieved major breakthroughs in the past decade; however, conventional forward design faces challenges as functionality complexity and device size scale up.

Optical Vortices shape Optical Tornados

open access: yesOptics Express, 2023
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.

Polarization singularities from unfolding an optical vortex through a birefringent crystal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Optical vortices (nodal lines and phase singularities) are the generic singularities of scalar optics but are unstable in vector optics. We investigate experimentally and theoretically the unfolding of a uniformly polarized optical vortex beam on ...

Defectoscopic Tests of Smoke Mortar Charges [PDF]

open access: yesProblemy Mechatroniki, 2015
There are presented selected results of defectoscopic tests on smoke charges confined in the metallic containers inserted in the bodies of 98 mm mortar bombs, using Real Time Rentegenoscopy (RTR) and infrared (IR) thermography.
