Beyond the IFTA – Phase mask generation for 3D laser beam shaping, tailored temperature distributions and optical amplifiers

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications
The iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA) is the most widely used algorithm for the generation of phase masks for laser beam shaping in the field of laser material processing. But its simplicity and efficiency also come with heavy limitations.

Mask pattern transferred transient grating technique for molecular-dynamics study in solutions [PDF]

, 2004
We have developed a mask pattern transferred transient grating (MPT-TG) technique by using metal grating films. Transient thermal grating is generated by an ultraviolet light pattern transfer to nitrobenzene in 2-propanol solution, and the subsequent ...

Phase sensitivity in forward masking [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981
Forward-masking functions were obtained using sinusoidal maskers of 300-ms duration followed by a 20-ms test signal at the same frequency. Changing the phase of the test signal relative to the phase of the masker leads to variations of the masking threshold of up to 6 dB.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Phase mask coronagraphy at JPL and Palomar

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
For the imaging of faint companions, phase mask coronagraphy has the dual advantages of a small inner working angle and high throughput. This paper summarizes our recent work in developing phase masks and in demonstrating their capabilities at JPL.

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Artificial Graphene and Related Photonic Lattices Generated With a Simple Method

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
We fabricate honeycomb and related photonic lattices in a nonlinear crystal with a simple method that is based on the optical Fourier transformation through an amplitude mask (six-hole aperture) superimposed with a phase mask (three tilted glass plates).

Theory and laboratory tests of the multi-stage phase mask coronagraph

, 2008
A large number of coronagraphs have been proposed to overcome the ratio that exists between the star and its planet. The planet finder of the Extremely Large Telescope, which is called EPICS, will certainly need a more efficient coronagraph than the ones

Phase retrieval from power spectra of masked signals [PDF]

, 2013
In diffraction imaging, one is tasked with reconstructing a signal from its power spectrum. To resolve the ambiguity in this inverse problem, one might invoke prior knowledge about the signal, but phase retrieval algorithms in this vein have found ...

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.
