Light Acquisition

Light Acquisition

In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Force Classification

Force Classification

Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

Background:

Traditional wavefront sensors face limitations in dynamic range and resolution.
Optical differentiation offers a novel approach to phase retrieval.
The need for robust reconstruction algorithms for complex wavefronts is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

To experimentally demonstrate an optical differentiation wavefront sensor (ODWS).
To develop and validate a convolutional neural network for phase reconstruction from ODWS data.
To achieve simultaneous high sensitivity, high dynamic range, and high resolution in wavefront sensing.

Main Methods:

Utilized binary pixelated linear and nonlinear amplitude filtering in the far-field.
Trained and tested a convolutional neural network (CNN) for spatial phase map reconstruction.
Applied the ODWS to various wavefront magnitudes and random wavefront shapes.

Main Results:

Successfully demonstrated the ODWS in an experimental setup.
The CNN accurately reconstructed spatial phase maps from nonlinear-filter-based ODWS data.
Achieved accurate zonal retrieval for diverse and complex wavefronts.

Conclusions:

The developed ODWS shows promise for advanced optical metrology.
The CNN-based reconstruction overcomes limitations of analytic methods for nonlinear filtering.
This technology enables wavefront sensing with unprecedented sensitivity, dynamic range, and resolution.
