Optimization of plasmon–plasmon coupling in photorefractive layered media [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we study grating-induced plasmon–plasmon coupling in photorefractive layered media using a weakcoupling approximation. The method used is applicable to general layered structures that support both plasmonic and optical modes, such as ...

Tilted Wave Fizeau Interferometer for flexible and robust asphere and freeform testing
Light: Advanced Manufacturing, 2022 Tilted Wave Interferometry (TWI) is a measurement technique for fast and flexible interferometric testing of aspheres and freeform surfaces. The first version of the tilted wave principle was implemented in a Twyman-Green type setup with separate ...

Roughness Measurements with Polychromatic Speckles on Tilted Surfaces [PDF]
Nanomanufacturing and Metrology, 2021 AbstractSurface light scattering enables contactless and fast measurements of surface roughness. A surface inclination alters the direction of the scattering beam and thus the measured surface roughness is calculated from the detected intensity distribution. Hence, an accurate sensor–surface alignment is necessary. In order to achieve tilt-independent

Surface Normal Estimation of Tilted Images via Spatial Rectifier
, 2020 In this paper, we present a spatial rectifier to estimate surface normals of tilted images. Tilted images are of particular interest as more visual data are captured by arbitrarily oriented sensors such as body-/robot-mounted cameras. Existing approaches

Oscillatory motion of viscoelastic drops on slippery lubricated surfaces
Communications Physics, 2022 Water droplets move smoothly at a constant speed down an inclined tilted slippery lubricated surface. Here, droplets of polymer fluids are shown to exhibit for the same homogenous surface an oscillatory motion down the slope due to the viscoelastic ...
