Over the years, there has been much speculation to understand whether (and how) it was possible to go below the diffraction limit. An advance in knowledge was achieved with the development of microwave techniques. In fact, more than fifty years after the publication of Toraldo’s article dealing with this topic, some experimental measurements in the range of microwaves confirmed the validity of his model. Since some measurements were performed in the region of near field, while Toraldo’s model refers to the far field, the need for a theoretical analysis in the framework of the Fresnel optics arose. The main goal of the present paper is to describe the problem of propagation in the near field (Fresnel optics) by using the same theoretical model already proposed by Toraldo. In order to test the validity of this new approach, the theoretical model has been compared with the FEKO simulation. The comparison of the theoretical model with the FEKO simulation in the far field for an open pupil (an open circular aperture) shows perfect agreement, as expected. We will demonstrate that there is also good agreement in the near field, although it is limited to the region around the main lobe, which is usually the region of main physical interest. Moving away from the main lobe, namely away from the optical axis, the agreement becomes less significant.

To solve the short working distance and small measurement range of an all-fibre interferometer, we proposed a Mach–Zehnder Fabry–Perot hybrid fibre-optic interferometry system based on sinusoidal phase modulation. In this paper, a low-finesse fibre interferometer with a larger linear operating range for displacement measurement is realised using a self-collimating probe and incorporating a Kalman filter-based phase demodulation algorithm. Through experimental comparisons, it is demonstrated that the interferometer proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the phase delay, compensate for the depth of modulation drift, and correct the error due to parasitic interference introduced by the optical path structure through the algorithm. A linear large measurement working range of 20 cm is realised.

Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most frequently used technique for the surgical correction of refractive errors on the cornea. It entails the creation of a superficial hinged corneal flap using a femtosecond laser, ablation of the underlying stromal bed using an excimer laser, and repositioning of the flap. A corneal flap with an angled side cut reduces the risk of flap dislocation and infiltration of epithelial cells and confers unique biomechanical properties to the cornea. A new laser software creating three-dimensional (3D) flaps using a custom angle side cut was retrospectively evaluated, comparing optical coherence tomography 3D (with intended 90° side cut) and 2D flaps (with tapered side cuts) as well as respective intra- and early postoperative complications. Four hundred consecutive eyes were included, two hundred for each group. In the 3D group, the mean edge angle was 92°, and the procedure was on average 5.2 s slower (p = 0). Non-visually significant flap folds were found in thirteen eyes of the 2D group and in seven eyes of the 3D group (p = 0.17). In conclusion, the creation of a LASIK flap using a 3D femtosecond laser cut, although slightly slower, was safe and effective. The side cut angle was predictable and accurate.

We present an optical metasurface with symmetrical individual elements sustaining Fano resonances with high Q-factors. This study combines plane-wave illumination and modal analysis to investigate the resonant behavior that results in a suppression of the forward scattering, and we investigate the role of the lattice constant on the excited multipoles and on the spectral position and Q-factor of the Fano resonances, revealing the nonlocal nature of the resonances. The results show that the intrinsic losses play a crucial role in modulating the resonance amplitude in specific conditions and that the optical behavior of the device is extremely sensitive to the pitch of the metasurface. The findings highlight the importance of near-neighbor interactions to achieve high Q resonances and offer an important tool for the design of spectrally tunable metasurfaces using simple geometries.

In this paper, an application of an artificial neural network algorithm is proposed to enhance the accuracy of temperature measurement using a fiber-optic sensor based on a Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI). It is assumed that the interrogation of the FPI is carried out using an optical comb generator realizing a microwave photonic approach. Firstly, modelling of the reflection spectrum of a Fabry–Perot interferometer is implemented. Secondly, probing of the obtained spectrum using a comb-generator model is performed. The resulting electrical signal of the photodetector is processed and is used to create a sample for artificial neural network training aimed at temperature detection. It is demonstrated that the artificial neural network implementation can predict temperature variations with an accuracy equal to 0.018 °C in the range from −10 to +10 °C and 0.147 in the range from −15 to +15 °C.

The significance of intelligent sensor systems has grown across diverse sectors, including healthcare, environmental surveillance, industrial automation, and security. Photoacoustic gas sensors are a promising type of optical gas sensor due to their high sensitivity, enhanced frequency selectivity, and fast response time. However, they have limitations such as dependence on a high-power light source, a requirement for a high-quality acoustic signal detector, and sensitivity to environmental factors, affecting their accuracy and reliability. Machine learning has great potential in the analysis and interpretation of sensor data as it can identify complex patterns and make accurate predictions based on the available data. We propose a novel approach that utilizes wavelet analysis and neural networks with enhanced architectures to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of photoacoustic gas sensors. Our proposed approach was experimentally tested for methane concentration measurements, showcasing its potential to significantly advance the field of gas detection and analysis, providing more accurate and reliable results.

Plasmonic arrays are grating-like structures able to couple an incoming electromagnetic field into either localized or propagating surface plasmonic modes. A triangular array of elliptical holes in a gold layer were realized resorting to displacement Talbot lithography. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the geometrical features and finite time domain simulations were performed to verify the consistency of the design. The optical response was characterized by angle-resolved reflectance and transmittance measurements. The results demonstrate the good quality and uniformity of the array. Furthermore, the study on the dependence of the optical response on both the hexagonal lattice and the elliptical hole-defined symmetry properties was conducted allowing the distinction of their effects on both the localized and propagating plasmonic modes. The results indicate that the localized component of the plasmonic modes is mainly affected by the elliptical shape, while the propagating part is influenced by the hexagonal lattice symmetry.

This work is devoted to the scientific and technical aspects of individual stages of active optical fibers preforms’ optical-geometric parameters metrological control. The concept of a system presented makes it possible to carry out a study of a rare earth element distribution in the preform of an active optical fiber to monitor geometric parameters, and also to study the evolution of the refractive index profile along the length of the sample at a qualitative level. As far as it is known, it is the first description of the preform optical, geometric, and luminescent properties measurement within a single automated laboratory bench. Also, the novelty of the approach lies in the fact that the study of the refractive index profile variation along the length of the preform is, for the first time, conducted using the “dry” method, that is, without immersing the sample in synthetic oil, which makes the process less labor-intensive and safer.

With the advancement of China’s wind power industry, research into full-scale structural testing of wind turbine blades, including static testing and fatigue testing, has shown increasing significance. Static testing measures the deflection at fixed points, using pull-wire sensors in industrial practice. However, the demerits of this method involve single dimension, excessive deviation, costly experiment, and complex installment. Given the advantages that lidar provides, correspondingly, high data density, precision, and convenience, we proposed a simple and efficient spatial large deflection measurement system for wind turbine blades with multi lidars. For point clouds collected from lidar scanners, registration based on point primitives and geometric primitives, dynamic radius DBSCAN clustering, spatial line clustering, and line integrals are applied to calculate the 3D coordinates of measured points on the blade. Experimentally validated, the proposed method demonstrates its effectiveness in serving as a viable alternative to the traditional pull-wire sensor measurement approach. In the minimum oscillation direction test, the measurement error is controlled within 3% compared to the theoretical value. Simultaneously, in the maximum swing direction test, the 3D coordinates of the measured point remain consistent with the changing trend observed under small deformation. These results confirm the feasibility of the system and its potentials to be generalized.

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a cutting-edge biomedical imaging modality, providing detailed anatomical and functional information about the area beneath the skin surface. Its light energy deposition is such that PAI typically provides clear images of the skin with high signal-to-noise ratios. Specifically, the rich optical contrast of PAI allows biological information related to lesion growth, malignancy, treatment response, and prognosis to be seen. Given its significant advantages and emerging role in imaging skin lesions, we summarize and comment on representative studies of skin PAI, such as the guidance of skin cancer biopsies and surgical excisions, and the accurate diagnosis of psoriasis. We conclude with our insights about the clinical significance of skin PAI, showing how its use to identify biological characteristics in lesion microenvironments allows early diagnosis and prognosis of disease.
