Stray Light Compensation in Optical Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
All optical equipment suffers from a phenomenon called stray light, which is defined as unwanted light in an optical system. Images contaminated by stray light tend to have lower contrast and reduced detail, which motivates the need for reducing it in ...

Stray light analysis and testing of a MODE lens telescope

open access: yes, 2022
The stray light analysis and testing of multiple-order-diffraction engineered (MODE) lens telescope is an essential step in the evaluation of optical imaging performance of the telescope.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Measurement of stray light in the LISA instrument

open access: yesInternational Conference on Space Optics — ICSO 2024
Measurement of stray light in a complex optical system can be a complex task. We developed a method to measure coherent stray light inside an assembled device, determining all stray light sources and their relative contribution. The method is based on the insertion of a laser with a scanned frequency and the detection of all the electrical and optical ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Post-processing correction of stray-light in space instruments: application to the 3MI earth observation instrument

open access: yes, 2019
Stray-light is a major concern in optical instruments and in particular for space missions. While many method exist to reduce the stray-light by means of hardware optimization, manufacturing capabilities set the limit of the stray-light rejection that ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Stray light testing of WISPR baffle development model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Solar Probe Plus (SPP) is a NASA mission developed to visit and study the sun closer than ever before. SPP is designed to orbit as close as 7 million km (9.86 solar radii) from Sun center.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
