Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid-crystal blazed-grating beam deflector
TL;DR: A transmission-type nonmechanical multiple-angle beam-steering device that uses liquid-crystal blazed grating that yields in excess of 500 deflecting angles is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-trapping of an optical vortex by use of the bulk photovoltaic effect
TL;DR: In this paper, a single charged vortex nested on a broad cw laser beam is trapped in both transverse dimensions in a lithium niobate crystal and observed self-trapping of an optical vortex due to the bulk photovoltaic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convex grating types for concentric imaging spectrometers.
TL;DR: The properties of convex gratings fabricated by electron-beam lithography are investigated and compare favorably with conventional types in terms of efficiency and scatter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of a computed-tomography imaging spectrometer using a computer-generated hologram disperser.

TL;DR: A computed-tomography imaging spectrometer that uses a phase-only computer-generated hologram (CGH) array illuminator as the disperser and reconstructed image and spectral-signature data compare favorably with measurements by other spectrometric methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
