A fast-Fourier-transform method of topography and interferometry is proposed. By computer processing of a noncontour type of fringe pattern, automatic discrimination is achieved between elevation and depression of the object or wave-front form, which has not been possible by the fringe-contour-generation techniques. The method has advantages over moire topography and conventional fringe-contour interferometry in both accuracy and sensitivity. Unlike fringe-scanning techniques, the method is easy to apply because it uses no moving components.

Fourier-transform method of fringe-pattern analysis for computer-based topography and interferometry

We review the recent developments in the area of optical fiber grating sensors, including quasi-distributed strain sensing using Bragg gratings, systems based on chirped gratings, intragrating sensing concepts, long period-based grating sensors, fiber grating laser-based systems, and interferometric sensor systems based on grating reflectors.

The PASCAL Visual Object Classes Challenge

A new method for direct patterning of Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microstructures is developed by taking advantage of photorefractive effect in a functionalized substrate. Here we show that when a x-cut Iron doped Lithium Niobate (LN) crystal is exposed to appropriate structured laser light, a charge density pattern builds-up in the crystal and a space charge field arise that is able to induce self-patterning of the PDMS liquid film deposited on its surface via the dielectrophoretic effects. Proper heating treatment allows to achieve polymeric linking process creating a solid and stable PDMS microstructures. The self-patterned structures replicate the illuminating light pattern. We show that 1D and 2D patterning of PDMS gratings can be achieved. This new soft-lithographic approach can pave the way for realizing PDMS micro-structures with high degree of flexibility that avoids the need of moulds fabrication.

Light induced patterning of poly(dimethylsiloxane) microstructures.

Polymer freestanding membranes with permanent bipolar patterns are fabricated by "pyroelectrification". The thermal stimulation of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystals simultaneously generates the pyroelectric effect, the glass transition of the polymer, and therefore the periodic electric poling of the polymer. The reliability of these membranes is demonstrated for applications under both dry and wet conditions, including cell patterning.

Bipolar Patterning of Polymer Membranes by Pyroelectrification

We report on tuning the optical whispering gallery modes in a poly dimethyl siloxane-based (PDMS) microsphere resonator by more than a THz. The PDMS microsphere system consists of a solid spherical resonator directly formed with double stems on either side. The stems act like tie-rods for simple mechanical stretching of the microresonator over tens of microns, resulting in tuning of the whispering gallery modes by one free spectral range. Further investigations demonstrate that the whispering gallery mode shift has a higher sensitivity (0.13 nm/{\mu}N) to an applied force when the resonator is in its maximally stretched state compared to its relaxed state.

Abstract Accurate depiction of waves in temporal and spatial is essential to the investigation of interactions between physical objects and waves. Digital holography (DH) can perform quantitative analysis of wave–matter interactions. Full detector-bandwidth reconstruction can be realized based on in-line DH. But the overlapping of twin images strongly prevents quantitative analysis. For off-axis DH, the object wave and the detector bandwidth need to satisfy certain conditions to perform reconstruction accurately. Here, we present a reliable approach involving a coupled configuration for combining two in-line holograms and one off-axis hologram, using a rapidly converging iterative procedure based on two-plane coupled phase retrieval (TwPCPR) method. It realizes a fast-convergence holographic calculation method. High-resolution and full-field reconstruction by exploiting the full bandwidth are demonstrated for complex-amplitude reconstruction. Off-axis optimization phase provides an effective initial guess to avoid stagnation and minimize the required measurements of multi-plane phase retrieval. The proposed strategy works well for more extended samples without any prior assumptions of the objects including support, non-negative, sparse constraints, etc. It helps to enhance and empower applications in wavefront sensing, computational microscopy and biological tissue analysis.

Dual-plane coupled phase retrieval for non-prior holographic imaging

For the first time to the authors' knowledge, the Talbot effect has been observed and investigated in digital holography. By numerical reconstruction of holograms, the Talbot self-imaging phenomenon is observed by reconstruction of the amplitude of the image at different distances and (or) wavelengths. A simple spectrometer based on Talbot self-imaging in digital holography is proposed and demonstrated.
