TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral performance of plasmonic waveguides is discussed, and various types of waveguide structures, geometries, materials, fabrication processes, and losses related to waveguide losses are explained to provide a better understanding of this topic.
Abstract: Optical sensors are widely used for refractive index measurement in biomedical, chemical, and food processing industries and offer high sensitivity to ambient refractive index variations due to the specific field distribution of the resonances. The sensor's sensitivity is greatly dependent on its material and structure. In this review, we focused on plasmonic refractive index sensors with no fluorescent labelling required. The latest developments on special types of plasmonic structures such as metal-insulator-metal waveguides and their application in refractive index sensors are presented. Moreover, numerous types of plasmonic waveguides, geometries, materials, fabrication processes, and losses related to plasmonic waveguides are explained to provide a better understanding of this topic. The highlight of this review is to discuss the spectral performance of recently reported refractive index sensors by emphasising their sensitivity and figure of merits.

TL;DR: A method for the design of an optical element generating the required irradiance distribution in a rectangular area with a large aspect ratio and the light efficiency is larger than 83%, whereas the irradiance nonuniformity is less than 9%.
Abstract: We propose a method for the design of an optical element generating the required irradiance distribution in a rectangular area with a large aspect ratio. Application fields include streetlights, the illumination of halls or corridors, and so forth. The design assumes that the optical element has a complex form and contains two refractive surfaces. The first one converts a spherical beam from the light source to a cylindrical beam. The second one transforms an incident cylindrical beam and generates the required irradiance distribution in the target plane. Two optical elements producing a uniform irradiance distribution from a Cree® XLamp® source in rectangular regions of 17 m × 4 m and 17 m × 2 m are designed. The light efficiency of the designed optical element is larger than 83%, whereas the irradiance nonuniformity is less than 9%.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis was performed into the possibility of reducing the lateral size and increasing the longitudinal size of a high-aperture focal system focus using a vortex phase transmission function for different types of input polarisation.
Abstract: An analysis was performed into the possibility of reducing the lateral size and increasing the longitudinal size of a high-aperture focal system focus using a vortex phase transmission function for different types of input polarisation (including the general vortex polarisation). We have shown both analytically and numerically that subwavelength localisation for individual components of the vector field is possible at any polarisation type. This fact can be important when considering the interaction between laser radiation and materials that are selectively sensitive to different components of an electromagnetic field. In order to form substantially subwavelength details in total intensity, specific polarisation types and additional apodisation of pupil function, such as masking by a narrow annular slit, are necessary. The optimal selection of the slit radius allows balance of the trade-off between focus depth and focal spot size.

TL;DR: It is shown that the diffractive axicon more precisely detects the polarization state than does the micro-objective with the same NA and that Sharp focusing is necessary to identify the polarized state in more detail.
Abstract: We suggest vortex phase elements to detect the polarization state of the focused incident beam. We analytically and numerically show that only the types of polarization (linear, circular, or cylindrical) can be distinguished in the low numerical aperture (NA) mode. Sharp focusing is necessary to identify the polarization state in more detail (direction or sign). We consider a high NA micro-objective and a diffractive axicon as focusing systems. We show that the diffractive axicon more precisely detects the polarization state than does the micro-objective with the same NA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the principles of optics electromagnetic theory of propagation interference and diffraction of light, which can be used to find a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead of facing with some infectious bugs inside their computer.
Abstract: Thank you for reading principles of optics electromagnetic theory of propagation interference and diffraction of light. As you may know, people have search hundreds times for their favorite novels like this principles of optics electromagnetic theory of propagation interference and diffraction of light, but end up in harmful downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some infectious bugs inside their computer.

TL;DR: The last volume of the Progress in Optics series as discussed by the authors contains seven chapters on widely diverging topics, written by well-known authorities in their fields, including laser selective photophysics and photochemistry, laser phase profile generation, laser beamforming, and laser laser light emission from high-current surface spark discharges.
Abstract: Have you ever felt that the very title, Progress in Optics, conjured an image in your mind? Don’t you see a row of handsomely printed books, bearing the editorial stamp of one of the most brilliant members of the optics community, and chronicling the field of optics since the invention of the laser? If so, you are certain to move the bookend to make room for Volume 16, the latest of this series. It contains seven chapters on widely diverging topics, written by well-known authorities in their fields. These are: 1) Laser Selective Photophysics and Photochemistry by V. S. Letokhov, 2) Recent Advances in Phase Profiles (sic) Generation by J. J. Clair and C. I. Abitbol, 3 ) Computer-Generated Holograms: Techniques and Applications by W.-H. Lee, 4) Speckle Interferometry by A. E. Ennos, 5 ) Deformation Invariant, Space-Variant Optical Pattern Recognition by D. Casasent and D. Psaltis, 6) Light Emission from High-Current Surface-Spark Discharges by R. E. Beverly, and 7) Semiclassical Radiation Theory within a QuantumMechanical Framework by I. R. Senitzkt. The breadth of topic matter spanned by these chapters makes it impossible, for this reviewer at least, to pass judgement on the comprehensiveness, relevance, and completeness of every chapter. With an editorial board as prominent as that of Progress in Optics, however, it seems hardly likely that such comments should be necessary. It should certainly be possible to take the authority of each author as credible. The only remaining judgment to be made on these chapters is their readability. In short, what are they like to read? The first sentence of the first chapter greets the eye with an obvious typographical error: “The creation of coherent laser light source, that have tunable radiation, opened the . . . .” Two pages later we find: “When two types of atoms or molecules of different isotopic composition ( A and B ) have even one spectral line that does not overlap with others, it is pos-
