Shock wave propagation characteristics of aluminum‐containing explosive in corrugated steel‐lined tunnel

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.

Performance Comparison of Wavefront-Sensorless Adaptive Optics Systems by Using of the Focal Plane

open access: yesInternational Journal of Optics, 2015
The correction capability and the convergence speed of the wavefront-sensorless adaptive optics (AO) system are compared based on two different system control algorithms, which both use the information of focal plane.

A Holographic Diffuser Generalised Optical Differentiation Wavefront Sensor

open access: yes, 2017
The wavefront sensors used today at the biggest World's telescopes have either a high dynamic range or a high sensitivity, and they are subject to a linear trade off between these two parameters.

Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Focal plane wavefront sensor achromatization : The multireference self-coherent camera

open access: yes, 2016
High contrast imaging and spectroscopy provide unique constraints for exoplanet formation models as well as for planetary atmosphere models. But this can be challenging because of the planet-to-star small angular separation and high flux ratio. Recently,

Wavefront sensorless adaptive optics for large aberrations

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2006
In some adaptive optics systems the aberration is determined not by using a wavefront sensor but by sequential optimization of the adaptive correction element. Efficient schemes for the control of such systems are essential if they are to be effective.

Thin Maxwellian Virtual Reality Near‐Eye Display Using Holographic Optical Element and Mini‐Fresnel Lens Array

open access: yesJournal of the Society for Information Display, EarlyView.
A thin Maxwellian‐view VR near‐eye display based on a holographic optical element (HOE) is presented. Integrating the HOE with the display panel eliminates the structural gap, achieving an 8‐mm internal spacing. Accommodation‐independent image sharpness is experimentally verified over a 0‐ to 3.3‐D range, mitigating the vergence–accommodation conflict.

Laser-controlled adaptive optic for beam quality enhancement in a multipass thin disk amplifier

open access: yes, 2018
We devise a laser-controlled adaptive optical element which operates intracavity under high intensity radiation. This element substitutes a conventional mechanically deformable mirror and is free of critical heat-sensitive components and electronics. The
