Simplified system for relative phase control between two input beams for coherent polarization beam combination
Abstract:
We devised a simplified system for coherent polarization beam combination (CPBC), in which two beams with orthogonal polarizations are combined with a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). In a CPBC system, control of the relative phase between two beams is important to obtain an output beam with stable polarization. Herein, the beam leaked from PBS is used to control the relative phase, realizing a robust system. We experimentally demonstrate that the proposed system can be operated with high efficiency and without quality deterioration.

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...
