Self-Aligning Scanning Shack-Hartmann Sensor for Automatic Wavefront Measurements of High-NA Optics
Optical parts, such as lenses or mirrors, are often qualified by surface shape metrology. Wavefront measurements allow for a more direct measurement of the performance of an optical part.

Direct nanoscratching with a 500 nm diamond lapping film creates groove‐guided liquid‐crystal alignment interfaces on PCB‐compatible Cu‐patterned RF substrates within minutes, eliminating polymer coating and high‐temperature baking. The coating‐free process enables optical/molecular alignment validation and voltage‐programmable 28 GHz reflection‐phase ...

The range of local wavefront curvatures measurable with Shack‐Hartmann wavefront sensors [PDF]
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor systems are studied to assess the range of local wavefront curvatures that may be measured for a given choice of lenslet size and focal length and illumination beam characteristics, with special emphasis on systems design for use in wavefront eye refractors.

Group-delay measurement of frequency-converting devices using a comb generator [PDF]
We propose a new method for the measurement of (group) delay from the radio-frequency (RF) input to the intermediate-frequency (IF) output of a mixer or a receiver.

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...

Advancing wavefront sensing: meta Shack-Hartmann sensor enhances phase imaging
A meta-lens array-based Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor has been developed to break the limits imposed by the size and curvature of traditional micro-lenses, which significantly improves both sampling density and angular resolution of phase measurement ...

In Situ Two‐Dimensional Residual Stress Characterization of Thin Films
An integrated in situ curvature metrology platform combining speckle‐based curvature optical metrology (SCOM) with multi‐beam optical sensors (MOS) enables spatially resolved two‐dimensional curvature mapping of thick sputtered coatings. The SCOM technique provides excellent agreement with MOS while providing an extended measurable curvature range ...

Wavefront-Constrained Passive Obscured Object Detection
Accurately localizing and segmenting obscured objects from faint light patterns beyond the field of view is highly challenging due to multiple scattering and medium-induced perturbations.
