Wavelength scanning interferometry offers a new dimension in precision metrology by measuring the cavity length (thickness), the cavity length variation over the cavity a[...]

Developing the manufacture of aspheric and freeform optical elements requires an advanced metrology method which is capable of inspecting these elements with arbitrary fr[...]

Freeform optics have been the subject of much research in recent years. Advances in theories of aberration control, single-point and patch-contact manufacturing methods, [...]

We demonstrate an all optical approach that can surprisingly offer the possibility of yielding much more information than one would expect, pertinent to the carrier recom[...]

This research study presents the architectural design and computational framework for an intelligent tracking sensor constructed from a multimode fiber optic. As laser li[...]

This dissertation aims to create and demonstrate a fast and inexpensive quantitative dimensional inspection system for industrial assembly line applications that can dete[...]

Optical profilometers, such as scanning white light interferometers and confocal microscopes, provide high resolution measurements and are widely utilized in many fields [...]

Freeform optics, broadly described as optical elements with at least one surface lacking translational or rotational symmetry, have seen increased interest due to recent [...]

The advent of metamaterials has increased the complexity of possible light-matter interactions, creating gaps in knowledge and violating various commonly used approximati[...]
