The Association of Central corneal thickness with Intra-ocular Pressure and Refractive Error in a Nigerian Population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine the variation of central corneal thickness (CCT) with intraocular pressure (IOP) and spherical equivalent refractive error.

Rapid characterization of the ultraviolet induced fiber Bragg grating complex coupling coefficient as a function of irradiance and exposure time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We report the application of optical frequency domain reflectometry and a discrete-layer-peeling inverse scattering algorithm to the spatial characterization of the UV induced complex coupling coefficient during fiber Bragg grating growth.

Energy Dissipation in Nonlinearly Elastic Auxetic and Non‐Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials with Friction and Material Damping

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a hyperelastic mechanical metamaterial for elastic energy dissipation. Energy is dissipated within its unit cells by friction assisted by material damping. Frictional contact is enhanced when using auxetic unit cells. The load–displacement plot for one compression cycle shows a pronounced hysteresis loop, indicating that a large ...

A simple opto-fluidic switch detecting liquid filling in polymer-based microfluidic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A novel detection scheme for detection of liquid levels and bubbles in microfluidic systems, using the principle of total internal reflection (TIR) is presented. A laser beam impinges on the side walls of a channel which are inclined at 45deg.

Dynamical decoupling with tailored waveplates for long distance communication using polarization qubits

open access: yes, 2013
We address the issue of dephasing effects in flying polarization qubits propagating through optical fiber by using the method of dynamical decoupling. The control pulses are implemented with half waveplates suitably placed along the realistic lengths of ...

Optimizing Laser Ablation of Stainless Steels for Volume Removal and Surface Quality Using Burst of Pulses

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the ablation efficiency and surface quality of laser‐treated stainless steel alloys (AISI 304, AISI 420, and AISI 316Ti) using an ultrashort pulsed laser and varying burst parameters (MHz, GHz, and Bi‐burst). Both ablation rates and surface quality parameters are determined, including isotropy surface roughness values, highlighting ...
