Cutting Mechanics and Manufacture of Optics for Imaging Applications
Author
Troutman, John
Date Created
2016
Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Optics
Description
Ultraprecision diamond machining enables physical realization of freeform surfaces of nearly arbitrary complexity through turning and milling processes. Achievable form accuracies make diamond machining a viable alternative to conventional techniq...

Fractional vortex Hilbert's Hotel
Author
Gbur, Greg
Date Created
2016
Subjects--Topical
Physics, Optics
Description
We demonstrate how the unusual mathematics of transfinite numbers, in particular, a nearly perfect realization of Hilbert's famous hotel paradox, manifests in the propagation of light through fractional vortex plates. It is shown how a fractional ...

Description
The Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) is currently being studied as a potential alternative to the conventional, solid-state Holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) for the treatment of kidney stones. The TFL is an ideal candidate to replace the Ho:YAG for laser litho...

Optics
Description
Random anti-reflection structured surfaces (rARSS) have been reported to improve transmittance of optical-grade fused silica planar substrates to values greater than 99%. These textures are fabricated directly on the substrates using reactive-ion/...

Description
Myosin is a molecular motor that converts chemical energy to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement in muscles and cells. Myosin interacts with two ligands, ATP (fuel) and actin filaments (motor’s tracks). Actomyosin interaction is ...
