Flat mirrors are useful to generate virtual cameras and capture a scene from multiple viewpoints. However, the resultant camera-mirror setup is cumbersome to calibrate because of the mirror image reversion. The typical calibration flaws are omitting the checkerboard symmetry and assuming that virtual cameras are front-view. This paper explains the rear-view abstraction and its usefulness in calibrating a camera-mirror setup to obtain the equivalent mirrorless configuration. The underlying theory is reviewed, including camera imaging, the calibration process, and the laws of reflection. The proposed approach is illustrated by calibrating a camera-mirror setup and then using the calibrated camera to generate mirror images synthetically. This work offers a practical insight into calibrating more sophisticated systems such as mirrored camera-projector profilometers.

A novel composite photoresist, derived from acrylates and carboxylic-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs-COOH), has been developed for the fabrication of sub-diffraction-sized polymer nanowires using STED-inspired lithography. The MWNTs-COOH dispersed in highly cross-linking acrylate monomers benefits to a reduced inhibition laser power for improving lithography. With the MWNTs-COOH, the inhibition laser power is decreased from 5 mW to 3 mW, while the achievable minimum feature size is increased from 121 nm to 48 nm. This innovative approach holds significant promise for the development of sub-diffraction MWCNTs/polymer composite-based devices in the fields of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS).

This paper introduces an innovative approach to streamline the time-consuming process of multiple-wavelength measurement in semiconductor overlay metrology. To achieve this, a color-mixing light source was developed, which employed light sources of different wavelengths, each modulated with different sine wave frequencies. By aligning these sources and directing them simultaneously onto the test sample, we mixed all wavelength information into a single test signal. Leveraging the known modulation frequencies, we can accurately extract the amplitudes of each wavelength using a three-parameter sine wave fitting method. These amplitudes effectively represent the sought-after signal for each wavelength. A 4-wavelength mixed light source was developed to demonstrate this method's feasibility. Compared with the intensities received independently for each wavelength, the reconstructed amplitude error was below 5 %. Finally, in the test of multiple-wavelength overlay measurement, the overlay difference between this and traditional methods was only 0.078 nm. The experimental results confirm that this method enables a reduction in the measurement time for multiple wavelengths from 0.8 sec to 0.2 sec, i.e., a 75 % reduction).

The high-resolution emission spectra of a GaN-based semiconductor laser were utilized to investigate the external differential quantum efficiency variation with temperature and stability over an extended period of continuous operation time. Moreover, the dynamics and evolution of the optical gain and longitudinal modes emitted both below and above threshold current were also reported. Upon studying the L-I curves over the full range of operating current and temperature, three distinct temperature regimes of the quantum efficiency were identified, with the regime of the temperature range 285–301 K yielding the highest stability. The thermal stability of the laser was also assessed by monitoring the variation of threshold current with temperature.

In this research, a compact and lightweight Time Domain (TD)-OCT for plant measurements is developed. The leaves (Orchis graminifolia and Trifolium repens) were immersed in two kinds of liquids to make them transparent, expand the depth, and homogenize the signals of OCT images. Optical clearing using a chlorine-based cleaner reduces the internal signal and increases the measurement depth by removing the internal structures. Since chlorine-based cleaners enhance the vein signal, this liquid is useful for diagnosing the disease that occurs in veins. Optical clearing of plant-clearing agents can detect layer changes with internal refractive index changes by reducing light scattering. Since the plant-clearing agent makes the OCT image uniform, this liquid is useful for diagnosing the small changes inside the tissue due to the disease. Applying transparency liquids to the plant field measurement can quantitatively evaluate changes in internal structure and refractive index due to disease or environment. The proposed method of the combination of compact OCT and optical clearing can obtain small changes in the veins, palisade tissue, and spongy tissue.

In this study, we delve into the theoretical framework of the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation coupled with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction, elucidated from the Landau-Lifshitz equation, a prominent model in the realm of ferromagnetic dynamics. Employing the binary Bell polynomial technique along with the Hirota bilinear form, we construct one- and two-soliton solutions for the considered physical system. Through the manipulation of parameters present in these solutions, we explore the various nonlinear dynamical phenomena characterizing ferromagnetic nano-wires with DM interaction. Our investigations elucidate that solitons can be effectively manipulated in the nanowire system through judicious selection of system parameters. Moreover, our findings illustrate that soliton profiles exhibit compression, amplification, shifting, and changes in orientation during evolution. These insights hold significant implications for experimentalists aiming to analyze the propagation of solitons in ferromagnetic nanowire systems.

We report on two-photon excited fluorescence interference patterns produced by spatial laser beam shaping. Thereto, a focused spatially modulated laser beam component is overlapped with an unfocused Gaussian beam component, and both are directed on a cuvette filled with dye. The phase retardance between the two common path laser components is precisely adjusted by a 2D liquid crystal modulator. With this method it is possible to generate various fluorescence patterns which exhibit sharp features and a high contrast due to constructive and destructive interference of a two-photon excitation process. The developed spatial shaping interference technique with two-photon excitations has a high potential for optical and biophotonic imaging applications.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) provide credible alternative for the inorganic solid-state photovoltaic devices. In this work, natural sensitizer extracted from Plumeria rubra L. flower (Frangipani) in ethanol has been used as the sensitizer dye. Dark red and yellow species of Frangipani flower petals extracted natural dyes have been studied for their comparative performance as sensitizer dye. FTIR revealed the presence of hydroxyl and carbonyl group in the sensitizer dye, which helped in binding with TiO2. UV-Visible analysis revealed absorption in visible region, which got broadened for dye loaded TiO2. Mass spectrometry confirmed major chemical constituents present in Plumeria rubra L. flower. For the HOMO and LUMO levels of dark red and yellow Frangipani flowers, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed. Light-to-electricity conversion efficiency (ɳ%) of dark red Frangipani flowers was achieved 0.148 % with Voc 0.27 V, Jsc 0.88 mA/cm2 and FF 0.62, which was comparatively higher than yellow Frangipani flowers-based cell having ɳ% 0.128 % with Voc 0.54 V, Jsc 0.37 mA/cm2 and FF 0.64, respectively. For analyzing the charge transfer characteristics, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies were carried out. The dark red species of Frangipani flower showed better result as sensitizer dye compared to the yellow species.

Generation of four wave mixing (FWM) effect in MXenes with chemical ratio of M2X, particularly Ti2C, Nb2C, and V2C were reported in this work. The setup was operated at 2 µm wavelength region with tapered fiber as the material host. The experiment managed to show conversion efficiencies of −43.93 dB, −42.60 dB, and −41.20 dB and idlers’ SNR of 7.73 dB, 9.10 dB, and 9.80 dB for Ti2C, Nb2C, and V2C, respectively. The relation of nonlinear optical properties such as nonlinear absorption coefficient and nonlinear refractive index to FWM generation were explored. The result of the investigation successfully showed the relationship of third order nonlinear optical properties and FWM effect in the specified MXenes with comparisons.
