TL;DR: It is shown that although the reflection characteristics can be accurately modeled with the second-order EMT, the phase difference created by form birefringence for TE- and TM-polarized waves requires the use of a more rigorous, RCWA approach.

TL;DR: In this article, an optical element that is transparent for TM polarization and reflective for TE polarization at an arbitrary incidence angle and operational wavelength was designed, and the experiments with the fabricated element demonstrate a high efficiency (97), with polarization extinction ratios higher than 220:1 at a wavelength of 1.523 m over a 20 angular bandwidth by means of the ASR characteristics of the device.

TL;DR: An adaptive experimental system to compensate for the wave-front aberrations of a model eye has been built in which the developed adaptive mirror-control algorithm is used to control a deformable mirror with 19 active channels.

TL;DR: A novel approach to implementing wide-field-of-view narrow-band spectral filters, using an array of resonant nanocavities consisting of periodic defects in a two-dimensional three-material photonic-crystal nanostructure that diminishes the angular sensitivity of the resonance condition relative to that of a standard multilayer filter.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear optical processor that is capable of real-time conversion of a femtosecond pulse sequence into its spatial image is introduced, analyzed, and experimentally characterized.
