In order to obtain a clearer interpretation of the Intensity Transport Equation (ITE), in this work, we propose an algorithm to solve it for some particular wavefronts and its corresponding intensity distributions. By simulating intensity distributions in some planes, the ITE is turns into a Poisson equation with Neumann boundary conditions. The Poisson equation is solved by means of the iterative algorithm SOR (Simultaneous Over-Relaxation).

The development of a highly sensitive asymmetric planar waveguide optical sensor based on a mathematical model using leaky quasi-modes in an endeavor to measure slight changes of aqueous sucrose concentration is presented in this paper. The planar waveguide sensor has been fabricated using Silicon Oxynitride (SiON) based material with standard fabrication process such as Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) and Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) techniques. The propagation constant of fundamental modes for TE mode of the waveguide geometry have been estimated using Simple Effective Index Method (SEIM) based on sinusoidal modes. The technique is based on Evanescent Wave Sensing (EWS) scheme, inducing an effective refractive index change. The merits of this sensor are simplicity, highly sensitivity, screening the potential that it can be used for online monitoring of blood glucose levels in the near future. The sensitivity of the waveguide is ~10 times more than that of the previously reported work on planar waveguide sensors and the results obtained experimentally matches well with the obtained theoretical result.

Phase distribution may be determined by measuring only the intensity distributions along the optical axis via the Transport of Intensity Equation (TIE). TIE has been a viable alternative to interferometry techniques for experimental conditions where those techniques perform poorly. These conditions are either because of the requirement one applies on the spatial and temporal coherence of the optical source or because of sensitivity and resolution issues. Optical testing is crucial in applications using manufactured optical elements. In this paper, we developed a method and experimental realizations capable to use both Shake-Hartman wavefront sensing (SHWS) and TIE method for testing transparent and reflective optical surfaces. The integration of TIE and SHWS has the advantage for obtaining high spatial resolution and wide dynamic range which cannot be obtained using only one of those methods. We showed that the retrieved phase profile and quantified surface variations of unknown samples from both methods are in very good agreement with each other.

Metallic structures made of ribbed iron bars (ADN-420) are of common use in sheds and supporting structures. Usually, trusses are constructed with many pieces of ribbed iron bars, combined together through a welding process. Although ribbed iron manufacturers do not recommend this type of structure it is still frequently used. The main weakness of these trusses is the welding point because ribbed iron is not a material suitable for welding. This work presents results obtained from an analysis of welding points between ribbed iron bars extracted from a collapsed truss, by means of conventional (optical) and digital holographic interferometry (HI and DHI, respectively). The experiments were divided in two different series of studies. The first series were performed by HI on metallographic samples while the second series were done by DHI on different welding points. These results were complemented by metallographic analysis made in an external laboratory. DHI indicated that the bars did not have important failures but evidenced defects in one of the welding points under analysis. This information together with metallographic results allowed inferring that the collapse was probably due to an error in the design of the structure, since the iron bars were out of standard compliance.

Pulsed lasers have become very important owing to the great amount of applications, from communications to diverse medicine areas. Many works have reported the development of these kinds of sources which uses quite complex cavity configurations and that present instabilities in the output signal. In this work the analysis of a pulsed laser that uses a ring cavity with a length of 16.5 m is presented. A phase modulator (LiNbO3) controlled by an RF generator operated at a frequency of 12.5108 MHz was used to perform the mode lock. The modulator input has a birrefringent fiber then the light polarization affects the mode lock. Therefore it was necessary to perform an analysis and characterization in the input and output signals of the modulator in order to obtain more stable output pulses without requiring a continuous adjustment. The laser implemented with 2 modes of operation, active mode-lock and passive mode-lock. The obtained pulses whit temporal width of 7 ns FWHM for the frequency fundamental 12.5108 MHz and 781 -261-120-116 ps for the harmonic 5-10-16-20 .The results for the passive mode-lock the obtained pulses whit temporal width 2 ps and average power 200 W.

Nowadays refractive errors in the human eye affect approximately 10% of world’s population, decreasing vision acuity and life quality. However a simple common solution is the use of an adequate ophthalmic lens. Due to the importance of ophthalmic lenses, the best measurement equipment is required for testing, these days experimental and commercial apparatus are available but with the possibility of improvement. We present a method to measure spherical and cylindrical power in ophthalmic lenses. The system uses an equation obtained from lateral amplification concept and Gauss formula to make calculations. Also an experimental setup is presented for the measurement of ophthalmic lens from -20 diopters to 20 diopters in the case of spherical lenses, and from -6 diopters to 6 diopters in the case of cylindrical lenses. The setup contains a reference object, the lens to be tested and a digital camera connected to a computer with software designed in LabVIEW for the data processing. Satisfactory preliminary results were obtained according to ISO 8598.

A new optical security system for image encryption based on a nonlinear joint transform correlator (JTC) and Fresnel transform is proposed. A lensless optical encryption system, which is a simplified version of previous JTCbased encryption systems, produces a complex distribution in the Fresnel domain, whose intensity is captured by a power-law sensor and nonlinearly modified to yield the real-valued encrypted image. The nonlinearity plays an essential role in the decryption system which, in turn, contains an optical fractional Fourier transform to retrieve the primary image. The security system proposed in this work is a novel extension of the conventional JTC-based encryption system from the Fourier domain to the Fresnel domain. Additional advantages of the proposed system are: simplification of the optical setup, alleviated alignment requirements, and an additional key (the propagation distance) that improves security. Numerical simulations verify the validity of this new optical security system.

A fiber optic sensor for high sensitivity refractive index and temperature measurement able to withstand temperature up to 450 °C is reported. Two identical LPG gratings were fabricated, whereas one was coated with a high refractive index (~1.78) sol-gel thin film in order to increase its sensitivity to the external refractive index. The two sensors were characterized and compared in refractive index and temperature. Sensitivities of 1063 nm/RIU (1.338 – 1.348) and 260 pm/°C were achieved for refractive index and temperature, respectively.

A Fourier domain optical coherence tomography system equipped with two spectrometers in balance detection is presented. The set-up was successfully used in reducing two artifacts present in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography images: autocorrelation terms and fixed pattern noise. Conditions and adjustments of spectrometer parameters are presented to ensure an anti-phase channelled spectrum modulation along the length of the two cameras for a majority of wavelengths within the optical source spectrum. By stopping the optical signal to reach one of the spectrometers, the set-up was used to compare the conditions of operation of a single camera with that of a balanced configuration. Using as a sample a tooth, balanced detection technique is compared with techniques applied to conventional single camera set-ups, based on sequential deduction of averaged spectra collected with different on/off settings for the sample or reference beams. It is concluded that balance detection performs better than single camera techniques, is more tolerant to movement, exhibits longer-term stability and can operate dynamically in real time.

For the testing of components and optical systems, there are diverse methods with different characteristics each one; in the presentation will be done a review of some of them, that can be classified as optical testing techniques, using a self-reference wavefront. Some examples are the lateral shearing interferometers (Bates, Ronchi, Murty), point diffraction interferometer (Linnik), Burch’s scattering interferometer, and the knife edge interferometer. Some advantages of such self-reference methods is the fact that are not necessary optical reference surfaces; and usually the light interfering beams have common paths, that implies that the set up is not affected by environment vibrations and other effects.
