Space-variant holographic optical elements in dichromated gelatin
Abstract:
Spatially variant holographic optical elements in dichromated gelatin can implement many complicated interconnection patterns and networks in a straightforward manner. We demonstrate some prototype, high efficiency, point to point, off-axis interconnects for replay at the recording wavelength (514.5 nm). Design considerations and potential uses in the fields of optical computing and optical communications are examined. Finally, we suggest a modified approach which allows for on-axis operation and replay in the near infrared.

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...
