Download or read book Analysis and Synthesis of Three dimensional Illumination Using Partial Coherence written by Zhengyun Zhang and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exists many devices that generate three-dimensional illumination patterns. Analysis of the capabilities of three major device families using measures of partial coherence reveals specific illumination patterns that cannot be generated by each device family. Ray-based devices cannot achieve patterns with high resolution, coherent holographic devices cannot achieve certain intensity patterns, even in the two-dimensional case, and volumetric devices cannot simulate occlusions and suffer from out-of-focus blur. Synthesis of more versatile illumination patterns is proposed by computing the mutual intensity representation of a desired partially coherent beam from application specifications and then generating the beam using time-multiplexing methods based on coherent modes. The mutual intensity can be computed directly from a simple scene description, or it can be computed through a novel algorithm using nonlinear conjugate gradients from a desired three-dimensional intensity volume. Equivalent coherent mode decomposition representations for the same mutual intensity will be considered in terms of optimality in efficiency. For cases when the computed mutual intensity is fairly incoherent, a new "quasi-Schell" mode decomposition is proposed to reduce the number of patterns needed at the SLM by introducing partially coherent sources. Use of arbitrary partially coherent beams for three-dimensional illumination enables the versatile generation of light patterns not possible with current devices and is a promising new field for exploration.

Download or read book Coherent Light Microscopy written by Pietro Ferraro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the latest achievements in the field of optical coherent microscopy. While many other books exist on microscopy and imaging, this book provides a unique resource dedicated solely to this subject. Similarly, many books describe applications of holography, interferometry and speckle to metrology but do not focus on their use for microscopy. The coherent light microscopy reference provided here does not focus on the experimental mechanics of such techniques but instead is meant to provide a users manual to illustrate the strengths and capabilities of developing techniques. The areas of application of this technique are in biomedicine, medicine, life sciences, nanotechnology and materials sciences.

Download or read book Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach written by José Jorge Gil and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-06-19 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively integrates basic concepts of polarization phenomena from the dual viewpoints of the states of polarization of electromagnetic waves and the transformations of these states by the action of material media. Through selected examples, it also illustrates actual and potential applications in materials science, biology, and optics technology. The book begins with the basic concepts related to two- and three-dimensional polarization states. It next describes the nondepolarizing linear transformations of the states of polarization through the Jones and Mueller-Jones approaches. The authors then discuss the forms and properties of the Jones and Mueller matrices associated with different types of nondepolarizing media, address the foundations of the Mueller matrix, and delve more deeply into the analysis of the physical parameters associated with Mueller matrices. The authors proceed with introducing the arbitrary decomposition and other useful parallel decompositions, and compare the powerful serial decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices. They also analyze the general formalism and specific algebraic quantities and notions related to the concept of differential Mueller matrix. Useful approaches that provide a geometric point of view on the polarization effects exhibited by different types of media are also comprehensively described. The book concludes with a new chapter devoted to the main procedures for filtering measured Mueller matrices. Suitable for advanced graduates and more seasoned professionals, this book covers the main aspects of polarized radiation and polarization effects of material media. It expertly combines physical and mathematical concepts with important approaches for representing media through equivalent systems composed of simple components.
