Piston Error Measurement for Segmented Telescopes with an Artificial Neural Network
Sensors, 2021 A piston error detection method is proposed based on the broadband intensity distribution on the image plane using a back-propagation (BP) artificial neural network.

Piston control with adaptive optics in stellar interferometry [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 The general purpose of an adaptive optics system is to correct for the wavefront corrugations due to atmospheric turbulence. When applied to a stellar interferometer, care must be taken in the control of the mean optical path length, commonly called differential piston.

Optical fiber analogous of the piston shock problem [PDF]
Advanced Photonics 2018 (BGPP, IPR, NP, NOMA, Sensors, Networks, SPPCom, SOF), 2018 We investigate the optical analogous of the piston shock problem in gas dynamics. Using fast temporal measurements, we recorded dispersive shock waves formed by the propagation of a bi-chromatic photon fluid along an optical fiber.

In-Situ Metrology of Large Segmented Detector Based on Modified Optical Truss
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023 To precisely map cosmic structures and capture time-domain events, future large survey telescopes will be equipped with segmented detectors that greatly expand their field of view. Segment flatness and assembly accuracy will be essential for them to make

Piston-Type Optical Modulator for Dynamic Thermal Radiation Tuning Applications [PDF]
Materials, 2021 This study introduces a movable piston-like structure that provides a simple and cost-effective avenue for dynamically tuning thermal radiation. This structure leverages two materials with dissimilar optical responses—graphite and aluminum—to modulate from a state of high reflectance to a state of high absorptance.

Inducing dynamical bistability by reversible compression of an optical piston [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2015 We study the reversible crossover between stable and bistable phases of an overdamped Brownian bead inside an optical piston. The interaction potentials are solved developing a method based on Kramers's theory that exploits the statistical properties of the stochastic motion of the bead. We evaluate precisely the energy balance of the crossover.

Dynamics of photon fluid flows driven by optical pistons [PDF]
Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, 2019 The piston problem, i.e. the dynamics of a uniform gas at rest under the action of a moving piston, is fundamental in shock wave physics [1,2]. In conservative systems, shock waves are regularized by the formation, owing to dispersion, of rapidly oscillating non-stationary structures, called dispersive shock waves (DSWs) [3–6].
