Laser based directed energy deposition (L-DED) is an additive manufacturing process in which laser energy is used to fuse powder feedstock by melting while being deposited in a layer-by-layer manner, to produce three dimensional (3D) components. The quality of parts produced through this process depends on numerous process parameters. In the present work, the combined effects of defocussing distance, laser power and scanning speed on the geometrical characteristics of single line clads of AISI SS316L stainless steel and H13 tool steel powders produced through L-DED, was investigated. Theoretical analysis of the mutual interactions between laser, powder and substrate was used to explain the variations in clad geometry and deposition behaviour of the two steels. Process parameter maps were developed for the two steels and the influence of defocussing distance on optimal process parameter windows was evaluated. The work demonstrates that laser defocussing distance can be used as a simple but effective method to enhance the flexibility of the deposition process.

Holography is widely used for imaging plankton because of its large depth of field. Autofocusing is a critical step in holographic imaging, where the optimal focal plane is determined by locating the extremum of the evaluation function curve. However, most of these methods perform auto-focusing on single focus holograms. To apply these methods to multi-focus holograms, the hologram must be subjected to object segmentation. It is difficult to achieve good results when focusing on holograms with small objects and large depth of field. Therefore, we propose a multi-focus autofocus method based on connected domain analysis (CDA), which allows focusing on multiple objects at different focal lengths simultaneously without image segmentation. Each object generates a focus evaluation curve, resulting in high focusing accuracy. We set up an in-line holographic optical system with a 30 mm depth of field and recorded holograms of Nauplius, Cladocera, Rotifera, Copepods, Noctiluca scintillans and real seawater samples. We demonstrated the robustness of the CDA algorithm for different target types and its effectiveness in focusing multi-focus images by applying it to holograms of six types of samples.

Characterization of statistical properties of a vector source requires fast and efficient measurement of all four elements of the square coherence-polarization (BCP) matrix. Here, we report a new experimental technique for measuring the BCP matrix of the stochastic field using a single-intensity recording. A detailed theoretical framework is presented to measure the elements of the BCP matrix of vector source through polarization correlation of the first two Stokes parameters (SPs), S0 and S1. We validate our technique through numerical simulations followed by proof-of-principle experiments. Experimental demonstration is performed by employing a specially designed folded interferometer to coherently sum a vector random field with a known reference and subsequently leverage a tuneable beam displacer to capture the orthogonal polarization components to determine the first two SPs in a single-frame recording. A correlation of these two SPs and their Fourier processing enables the extraction of all four elements of the BCP matrix from a single-intensity recording. The viability of our experimental technique is demonstrated by measuring all four elements of the BCP matrix for three different vector sources in the far-field. A good agreement between simulation and experimental results confirms the accuracy of the proposed technique. This method will find applications in the characterization of light fields, evaluating the polarization dynamics, looking through randomness, etc.

The limited depth of field (DOF) inherent in cameras often results in defocused and blurry backgrounds when capturing images in large aperture mode. This not only leads to the loss of crucial background information but also impedes the efficient reconstruction of the background regions. Usually, super-resolution (SR) techniques struggle to produce high-quality results for images captured with large apertures. To enhance the reconstruction quality of defocused regions in large aperture images, a foreground-background separation and deblurring super-resolution (FBSDSR) method was proposed in this paper. Based on the idea of foreground-background separation processing, we first divide the large aperture image into a sharp foreground region (If) and a blurry background region (Ib) based on depth information. The background region (Ib) is then deblurred using an end-to-end iterative filter adaptive network (IFAN). This deblurring process refocuses the background, ultimately restoring an image with sharp details throughout. Finally, the enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial networks (Real-ESRGAN) which specializes in images SR of realistic scenes was used to process the sharp all-in-focus image. This method results in high-quality reconstructions of both the foreground and background of large aperture images. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method achieved effective reconstruction of the entire large aperture images clearly, overcoming the limitations of existing methods that struggle to reconstruct defocused regions. This significantly enhances the quality and resolution of large aperture images. Specifically, when FBSDSR is integrated with Real-ESRGAN, the PSNR, LPIPS, NIQE, and hyperIQA metrics were improved by approximately 2.2 %, 45.1 %, 34.7 %, and 10.9 % respectively.

Previous studies on refractive index sensors have shown that their sensing characteristics are limited by variations in the background environment refractive index, resulting in a significant decrease in the figure of merit (FOM) and sensitivity of the sensor. Here, we design a high-Q refractive index sensor, which is composed of a Dirac semimetal. The proposed sensor is based on topological bound states in the continuum (BICs), which have a diverging quality factor, and exhibits extremely high FOM and detection sensitivity over a wide variation range of the background environment refractive index. Its operation is based on the reciprocating motion of two pairs of BICs in the kx and ky high-symmetry lines of the momentum space. Specifically, two pairs of BICs, which are characterized by topological charges, can be merged and generated by varying the Fermi energy of the Dirac semimetal. Furthermore, we extract the relation between the Fermi energy and the background environment refractive index for the merging-BIC. This ensures that the FOM is extremely high over a very wide variation range of the background environment refractive index. Our findings provide a perspective for investigating ultrahigh performance refractive index sensors based on merging-BICs.

Achieving high quality 3D imaging with single exposure has always been the goal of Fresnel incoherent correlation digital holography (FINCH). However, there is a trade-off between space-time bandwidth product and system complexity, resulting in lower reconstruction quality of FINCH. Here, we propose a single-shot FINCH method based on digital self-calibrated point source holograms (PSHs) to achieve dynamic 3D imaging. Firstly, it demonstrates that a single FINCH hologram integrates information from multiple incoherently superimposed PSHs, so that the reconstructed images exhibit significant sparsity variations in the gradient domain when correlated with the PSHs to be calibrated. As a result, we can conveniently achieve accurate PSHs of objects at different depth planes by digital self-calibration algorithm. Furthermore, by combining the digital self-calibrated PSHs with a compressive sensing (CS) reconstruction algorithm, the quality of the 3D reconstruction can be effectively enhanced, showing excellent performance in improving lateral and axial resolution. Importantly, this method offers a new strategy for simplifying implementation system and improving space-time bandwidth product of FINCH technology, and then achieves high quality 3D imaging of dynamic scene.

This paper presents a novel method to speed up error detection in an additive manufacturing (AM) process by minimizing the necessary three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and comparison. We develop a structured light 3D imaging technique that has native pixel-by-pixel mapping between the captured two-dimensional (2D) image and the reconstructed 3D point cloud. This 3D imaging technique allows error detection to be performed in the 2D image domain prior to 3D point cloud generation, which drastically reduces complexity and computational time. Compared to an existing AM error detection method based on 3D reconstruction and point cloud processing, experimental results from a material extrusion (MEX) AM process demonstrate that our proposed method significantly increases the error detection speed.

The realization of high-speed, low-power optical phased array (OPA) on thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is considered an ideal solution for the next generation of solid-state beam steering. Most reported on-chip two-dimensional optical phased arrays suffer from issues such as large antenna spacing, high power consumption and complex wiring due to independent control of array elements. To address these challenges while fully utilizing the benefits of the LNOI platform, we propose a two-dimensional beam-scanning OPA based on lithium niobate (LN) waveguides. We design a multi-layer cascaded domain engineering structure inside the LN waveguide, combined with wavelength tuning, to enable two-dimensional beam scanning with single electrode controlling the OPA. Through simulation, we achieve a 42°×9.2° two-dimensional beam steering. Compared to existing on-chip integrated OPAs, this work offers significant advantages in increasing integration, simplifying control units and reducing power consumption.

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) has been proposed as an important technique for understanding the chemical microenvironment in cells and tissues, as it provides additional information compared to conventional fluorescence imaging. However, it is often hindered by limited spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, we introduce a dual-color super-resolution FLIM method, termed Parallel Detection and Fluorescence Emission Difference (PDFED) FLIM. The integration of parallel detection with photon reassignment enhances photon efficiency, SNR, and resolution effectively. Additionally, differential imaging employing polarization modulation effectively reduces artifacts resulting from sample changes during live-cell imaging. PDFED-FLIM demonstrates enhancements in spatial resolution by approximately 1.6 times and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) by around 1.3 times. Furthermore, live-cell imaging showcases improved resolution and image quality, signifying the extensive potential of PDFED-FLIM in biomedical applications.

Using a modeled look-up chart developed in this work, we show that accurate photometric measurements of characteristics like illuminance or luminous intensity of test LED sources can be measured in one step. This is a simple broadband measurement that may substitute for complicated and costly spectral measurements currently in place. To develop the look-up chart, the typical minimum and maximum of the Spectral Mismatch Correction Factor (SMCF) for a given photometers was estimated in relation to catalog parameters of the LEDs such as correlated color temperature (CCT) and melanopic daylight efficacy ratio (). This research was based on the unique and large dataset of real photometers spectral response collected and measured at accredited laboratories located at America, Asia and Europe and modeled LED's spectral power distribution (SPD) data. Independent look-up tables were developed for color-mixed LEDs (cm-LEDs) and white phosphor-converted LEDs (pc-LEDs), two common LED types.
通过使用在这项工作中开发的模型查找表，我们展示了可以通过一个步骤对测试 LED 光源的照度或发光强度等特性进行精确的光度测量。这是一种简单的宽带测量方法，可替代目前复杂而昂贵的光谱测量方法。为了开发查询表，我们根据 LED 的目录参数（如相关色温 (CCT) 和黑色素日光效率比 (mDER)）估算了特定光度计的光谱失配校正系数 (SMCF) 的典型最小值和最大值。这项研究基于在美洲、亚洲和欧洲的认可实验室收集和测量的独特而庞大的真实光度计光谱响应 srel(λ) 数据集，以及建模的 LED 光谱功率分布 (SPD) 数据。针对混色发光二极管（cm-LED）和白荧光粉转换发光二极管（pc-LED）这两种常见的发光二极管类型开发了独立的查询表。
