TL;DR: In this article, the most important fabrication techniques for glass and plastic refractive microlenses and corresponding state-of-the-art micro-lenses, which were obtained from selected research groups, were reviewed and discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the milliwatt-power optical bistability at room-temperature in interference filters based on ZnSe spacers is reported, with switching times of a few milliseconds using 514 nm wavelength radiation at an irradiance of ∼250 W cm -2.

TL;DR: A rigorous electromagnetic diffraction theory is used to evaluate the range of validity of the scalar designs, to analyze fabrication errors, and to design binary resonance-domain one-dimensional array generators with 90%-100% efficiency.

TL;DR: An improved iterative algorithm for designing diffractive phase elements for laser beam shaping in free space with mean-square errors of the amplitude and the intensity profile of the entire beam fitted to the corresponding parameters of the 12th-power super-Gaussian beam is presented.

TL;DR: The achievement of a neat and compact MMM is described by use of a high-diffraction-efficiency diffractive-optic element that generates a multiple-spot grid of uniform intensity to achieve higher fidelity in imaging of live cells at adequate speeds.
