Calculation model of dense spot pattern multi-pass cells based on a spherical mirror aberration
Optics Letters
|March 2, 2019
Summary
A new calculation model for dense spot multi-pass cells using spherical mirrors was developed. This model achieves higher efficiency and longer optical paths with exotic spot patterns.
Area of Science:
- Optics and Photonics
- Optical Engineering
- Laser Systems
Background:
- Multi-pass cells are crucial for extending optical path lengths in spectroscopy and laser systems.
- Standard designs often rely on paraxial approximations and can have limitations in spot pattern complexity and mirror utilization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel calculation model for dense spot pattern multi-pass cells with identical spherical mirrors.
- To analyze ray propagation and reflections without the paraxial approximation.
Main Methods:
- Development of a modified ABCD matrix for non-paraxial ray propagation.
- Numerical simulations to verify beam retracing and analyze spot patterns.
Main Results:
- The model accurately describes ray propagation and reflections on spherical mirrors.
- Intricate, non-standard spot patterns are generated due to spherical aberration.
- High fill factor spot patterns enhance mirror surface utilization efficiency.
Conclusions:
- The novel model enables the design of efficient multi-pass cells with improved performance.
- Exotic spot patterns offer a cost-effective way to achieve longer optical path lengths.

01:29Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
18.3K
The rough ER membrane synthesizes, assembles, and embeds transmembrane proteins in diverse topologies. These proteins function as transporters or channels and can remain in the ER membrane or are sent to the Golgi complex, lysosome, and cell membrane.
The multipass transmembrane proteins are the type IV integral membrane proteins with multiple topogenic sequences determining their spatial arrangement in the ER membrane. Nearly all multipass proteins lack a cleavable signal sequence and use...

6.5K
In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

01:12First Pass Effect
9.2K
Presystemic elimination, or the first-pass effect, is the metabolism of drugs that reduces their effective concentration at the site of action. Apart from the first-pass effect, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is also reduced by other factors, including incomplete absorption or chemical degradation of drugs.
Depending on the route of administration, drugs can be metabolized in the liver, intestine, lungs, and vasculature. Orally administered drugs are first absorbed through the...

01:23Spherical Coordinates
15.8K
Spherical coordinate systems are preferred over Cartesian, polar, or cylindrical coordinates for systems with spherical symmetry. For example, to describe the surface of a sphere, Cartesian coordinates require all three coordinates. On the other hand, the spherical coordinate system requires only one parameter: the sphere's radius. As a result, the complicated mathematical calculations become simple. Spherical coordinates are used in science and engineering applications like electric and...

Calculating pH for Titration Solutions: Strong Acid/Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
