Statistic analysis of influence of phase distortion on diffractive optical element for beam smoothing
Abstract:
In this paper, the diffractive optical element (DOE) is used to realize beam smoothing with the smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD) technique. The influences of the high and low frequency phase distortions on the DOE for beam smoothing are statistically analyzed based on the spatial frequency spectrum method. The amplitude and initial phase spectra of the far field intensity distribution are modulated by the characteristic of the phase distortion. The relationship between the performance parameters of the beam smoothing and the characteristic of the phase distortion is obtained. This can afford a theoretical tool to determine whether the characteristic of the phase distortion and the performance of the designed DOE for beam smoothing are able to satisfy the requirement of the light efficiency and the non-uniformity simultaneously or not.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
