Design of digital-optical processors by using both intensity and polarization-encoding schemes
Abstract:
Here we propose two encoding schemes that utilize both light intensity and polarization to code input data in digital-optical computing. This approach results in a more efficient information carrying and processing technique when compared with the traditional intensity-only or polarization-only encoding schemes. Optical logic units that are based on the proposed encoding schemes are designed. A recursive parallel adder and a carry look-ahead adder that use these logic units as building blocks are also described.

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...
