Although the RGB channel requires fewer images for performing 3D measurement than the sinusoidal fringe phase-shift method, the coupling between the channels affect the measurement accuracy. Along these lines, a novel decoupling method was proposed, which was based on phase-shift calculation by encoding sinusoidal color fringe patterns. In our approach, every six sinusoidal fringes in the sinusoidal fringe phase-shift method are encoded into four sinusoidal color fringe patterns. These sinusoidal color fringes can replace six sinusoidal fringes without the effect of crosstalk. Compared with the traditional sinusoidal color fringe phase-shift method, a higher measurement accuracy was demonstrated. Moreover, there was no need for preprocessing and post-processing, and the calculation speed was faster.

In this work, the development of a blood pressure (BP) system based on a fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) has been investigated. The developed system is consisted of 2 main parts: FFPI structure, and sensing probe, respectively. An aluminum-coated mirror and latex thin film have been used as a reflector and elastic material of the sensing probe. Moreover, the peak detection and also fringe counting techniques have been applied to convert the number of fringes to blood pressure and heart rate values. In addition, a standard digital sphygmomanometer has been utilized as a reference instrument for comparing the performance of FFPI sensor. Eighty-six volunteers aged 21 - 50 years old have been chosen to collect the experimental data. However, the sensing probe has been placed on right side of the neck, and a standard digital sphygmomanometer on the upper left arm of the volunteers. The results indicated that the developed system has ability to measure systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the range of 91 to 128 mmHg, and 62 to 85 mmHg, respectively. Moreover, the heart rate (HR) has also been exploited in the range of 48 to 102 beats/min. By comparing the experimental results with the reference instrument, it found that the average percentage error from the blood pressure measurements is 2.84 %. Furthermore, the developed sensor has a sensitivity of 56.88 nm/mmHg. This implies that the developed system has the efficiency to measure vital signs and blood pressure with cuffless, low-cost, and non-invasive.

This paper proposes a reflection-type surface coherent interferometric modulation imaging (R-CIMI) method based on reference light modulation, leveraging the interference light path generated by the reflected beam of the modulator and the target surface. Furthermore, we present a mask optimization strategy to enhance the similarity of diffraction pattern structures, as well as an automatic positioning approach based on optical field estimation. Owing to the anti-disturbance properties of coherent diffraction imaging, R-CIMI is less susceptible to environmental disturbances than conventional interference techniques. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is comparable to conventional interference methods in terms of measurement accuracy.

Freeform optics have been extensively utilized in optical systems during the last few decades. Compared to their refractive counterparts, freeform reflective optics can yield larger angle of deflection, and more flexible geometry in three-dimensional space. Moreover, they are dispersion-free, and superior in thermal management. However, designing freeform reflective optics in highly tilted geometry is still not well addressed. In this paper, we propose a general formulation to design freeform off-axis reflective optics for precise illumination/intensity tailoring in highly tilted geometry. The superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by both numerical simulation and experimental results.

The focal length, radius of curvature, and refractive index are key parameters of a spherical lens. Here, an approach for measuring lens parameters based on the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHS) is proposed. Firstly, the position of the reference point for measuring focal length is determined by the figure-of-merit function, called the least square sum of centroids shifts (LSSCS), from the spot array formed by the microlens array of SHS. The focal length is estimated by measuring radii of curvatures of two spherical waves. Each spherical wave is caused by the distance between the focal point of the lens and the determined reference. Secondly, the radius of curvature is the difference between two coordinate locations of the lens. Each location, corresponding to a collimated beam reflected from the lens, is determined by the figure-of-merit function LSSCS. Thirdly, the refractive index can be further estimated by lens maker's equation through the measured focal length and radius of curvature. A positive and a negative lens are both tested by the proposed method. Experimental results show that the lens parameters measured by the proposed method are in good agreement with the nominal values. The proposed method does not require wavefront reconstruction, and is simple, accurate and noise-resistant.

Tumor suppressor gene TP53 plays a crucial role in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. The gene encodes the tumor suppressor protein p53, which can be identified through immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in various cancers, including gastric carcinoma. However, IHC staining is more costly and therefore not as prevalent as routine hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. In this study, we present a semi-supervised learning-based approach for immunological detection (SSID) of TP53 mutation directly on H&E-stained gastric tissue sections, intending to improve gastric cancer diagnosis. SSID is trained on a small set of annotated image pairs and a larger unannotated dataset of H&E-stained images. It can detect the regions showing strong p53 expression, indicating TP53 mutation, and we validate the accuracy of our approach through both qualitative assessment (pathologists' average score of 2.22/3) and quantitative evaluation (e.g., averaged mean Intersection-over-Union of 0.73). Moreover, we introduce Bayesian uncertainty to assess the credibility of the detected masks, aiming to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Our results demonstrate that SSID can circumvent the expensive and laborious IHC staining procedures and enable the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer through immunological detection of TP53 mutation.

Estimating depth from light field images is a critical issue in light field applications. While learning-based methods have made significant strides in light field depth estimation, achieving high accuracy and speed simultaneously remains a major challenge. This paper proposes a light field depth estimation network based on edge enhancement and feature modulation, which significantly improves depth estimation results by emphasizing inter-view correlations while preserving image edge features. Specifically, to prioritize edge details, we introduce an Edge-Enhanced Cost Constructor (EECC) that integrates edge information with existing cost constructors to improve depth estimation performance in complex areas. Furthermore, most light field depth estimation networks utilize only sub-aperture images (SAIs) without considering the inherent angular information in macro-pixel image (MacPI). To address this limitation, we propose the MacPI-Guided Feature Modulation (MGFM) module, which leverages angular information between different views in MacPI to modulate features at each view. Experimental results show that our method not only performs excellently on synthetic datasets but also demonstrates outstanding generalization on real-world datasets, achieving a better balance between accuracy and computation speed.

Optical differentiation has the advantages of ultrahigh speed and low power consumption over digital electronic computing. Various methods for single and switchable-order differential operations have been extensively studied and applied in fields such as image processing and optical analog computing. Here, we report a parallel multiplexing scheme of optical spatial differentiations via a superposition of multiple complex amplitude filters. The isotropic and anisotropic first- to fourth-order differentiation multiplexing, as well as various types of differentiation multiplexing are demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. Multifunctional differential operations can be generated simultaneously, realizing the extraction of multiple feature information about amplitude and phase objects. This proof-of-principle work provides an approach for multiplexing optical spatial differentiation and a promising possibility for efficient information processing.

The geometric attenuation factor plays an important role in the construction of polarized bidirectional reflection distribution function (pBRDF) model, but the traditional geometric attenuation factor theory neglects the influence of microsurface height on the shadowing and masking effects of light. Therefore, we present a geometric attenuation factor related to the height of the discrete Gaussian microsurface based on microfacet theory. We correspond each sampled point on the microsurface to an element in the attenuation matrix, and assign values to the elements of the attenuation matrix by determining whether the sampling points are illuminated or observable. Finally, we can get the numerical solution of the geometric attenuation factor of the 3D discrete Gaussian microsurface by calculating the attenuation matrix. The results show that the presented geometric attenuation factor is reasonable and effective, and can be better applied to pBRDF model to improve the accuracy of pBRDF model.

We propose and demonstrate a multifunctional tapered optical fiber tweezers (MTOFT) for capturing and manipulating micro particles. By employing the wavelength division multiplexing technology, two wavelengths, 980 nm and 650 nm, are coupled into optical fiber tweezers to achieve the flexibility of capture, transport and release of particles with different refractive indexes using fabricated tapered optical fiber probe (TOFP). Wherein, the 980 nm light wave excites LP01 and LP11 modes beams, and the 650 nm light wave excites LP01, LP11, LP21 and LP02 modes beams. Simulations and experiments demonstrated that the capture of yeast and the ejection of silica are achieved with the laser beam at 980nm wavelength. At 650 nm laser beam, the capture of silica and the ejection of yeast are achieved. This structure enables flexible manipulation of different particles by combining multiple wavelengths, expanding the direction of combining particle transport and particle emission functions.
