Integrated optical system and components utilizing tunable optical sources and coherent detection and phased array for imaging, ranging, sensing, communications and other applications

Eric Swanson
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated optical system is configured such that when the optical source is tuned in optical frequency, the receiver produces electrical signals that are processed to produce optical profile information about the sample.

Light detection and ranging system with photonic integrated circuit

Eric Swanson
TL;DR: The phase array can be a static phased array to eliminate or augment the lens that couples light to and from a sample of interest or can be static and use a spectrally dispersive antenna and a tunable source to perform angular sweeping as discussed by the authors.

Exact solutions for nondiffracting beams. I. The scalar theory

TL;DR: In this paper, exact nonsingular solutions of the scalar-wave equation for beams that are non-diffracting were presented, which means that the intensity pattern in a transverse plane is unaltered by propagating in free space.

Forces of a single-beam gradient laser trap on a dielectric sphere in the ray optics regime.

TL;DR: It is shown that good trapping requires high convergence beams from a high numerical aperture objective and a comparison is given of traps made using bright field or differential interference contrast optics and phase contrast optics.
