Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Spotlight offers a perspective on the role of Monte Carlo simulation in the analysis and tolerancing of optical systems. The book concisely explores two overarching questions: (1) What principles can we adopt from a variety of statistical methods - such as the analysis of variance (ANOVA), "root sum of squares" (RSS), and Monte Carlo simulation - to analyze variability in complex optical systems? (2) When we assign perturbations to component variables (such as tilts and radii of curvatures) subject to arbitrary probability distributions, are the resulting distributions of system parameters (such as EFL, RMS spot size, and MTF) necessarily normal? These questions address the problem of analyzing and managing variability in modern product development, where many functions integrate to produce a complete instrument. By discussing key concepts from optics, multivariable calculus, and statistics, and applying them to two practical examples in modern technology, this book highlights the role Monte Carlo simulations play in the tolerancing of optical systems that comprise many components of variation.

Download or read book The Monte Carlo Methods in Atmospheric Optics written by G.I. Marchuk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to urgent questions of the theory and applications of the Monte Carlo method for solving problems of atmospheric optics and hydrooptics. The importance of these problems has grown because of the increas ing need to interpret optical observations, and to estimate radiative balance precisely for weather forecasting. Inhomogeneity and sphericity of the atmos phere, absorption in atmospheric layers, multiple scattering and polarization of light, all create difficulties in solving these problems by traditional methods of computational mathematics. Particular difficulty arises when one must solve nonstationary problems of the theory of transfer of narrow beams that are connected with the estimation of spatial location and time characteristics of the radiation field. The most universal method for solving those problems is the Monte Carlo method, which is a numerical simulation of the radiative-transfer process. This process can be regarded as a Markov chain of photon collisions in a medium, which result in scattering or absorption. The Monte Carlo tech nique consists in computational simulation of that chain and in constructing statistical estimates of the desired functionals. The authors of this book have contributed to the development of mathemati cal methods of simulation and to the interpretation of optical observations. A series of general method using Monte Carlo techniques has been developed. The present book includes theories and algorithms of simulation. Numerical results corroborate the possibilities and give an impressive prospect of the applications of Monte Carlo methods.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational modeling of light-matter interactions is a valuable approach for simulating photon paths in highly scattering media such as biological tissues. Monte Carlo (MC) models are considered to be the gold standard of implementation and can offer insights into light flux, absorption, and emission through tissues. Monte Carlo modeling is a computationally intensive approach, but this burden has been alleviated in recent years due to the parallelizable nature of the algorithm and the recent implementation of graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration. Despite impressive translational applications, the relatively recent emergence of GPU-based acceleration of MC models can still be utilized to address some pressing challenges in biomedical optics beyond DOT and PDT. The overarching goal of the current dissertation is to advance the applications and abilities of GPU accelerated MC models to include low-cost devices and model Raman scattering phenomena as they relate to clinical diagnoses. The massive increase in computational capacity afforded by GPU acceleration dramatically reduces the time necessary to model and optimize optical detection systems over a wide range of real-world scenarios. Specifically, the development of simplified optical devices to meet diagnostic challenges in low-resource settings is an emerging area of interest in which the use of MC modeling to better inform device design has not yet been widely reported. In this dissertation, GPU accelerated MC modeling is utilized to guide the development of a mobile phone-based approach for diagnosing neonatal jaundice. Increased computational capacity makes the incorporation of less common optical phenomena such as Raman scattering feasible in realistic time frames. Previous Raman scattering MC models were simplistic by necessity. As a result, it was either challenging or impractical to adequately include model parameters relevant to guiding clinical translation. This dissertation develops a Raman scattering MC model and validates it in biological tissues. The high computational capacity of a GPU-accelerated model can be used to dramatically decrease the model's grid size and potentially provide an understanding of measured signals in Raman spectroscopy that span multiple orders of magnitude in spatial scale. In this dissertation, a GPU-accelerated Raman scattering MC model is used to inform clinical measurements of millimeter-scale bulk tissue specimens based on Raman microscopy images. The current study further develops the MC model as a tool for designing diffuse detection systems and expands the ability to use the MC model in Raman scattering in biological tissues.

This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monte Carlo method is a numerical technique to model the probability of all possible outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the interference of random variables. It is a technique used to understand the impact of risk, uncertainty, and ambiguity in forecasting models. However, this technique is complicated by the amount of computer time required to achieve sufficient precision in the simulations and evaluate their accuracy. This book discusses the general principles of the Monte Carlo method with an emphasis on techniques to decrease simulation time and increase accuracy.

This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical Polarization in Biomedical Applications introduces key developments in optical polarization methods for quantitative studies of tissues, while presenting the theory of polarization transfer in a random medium as a basis for the quantitative description of polarized light interaction with tissues. This theory uses the modified transfer equation for Stokes parameters and predicts the polarization structure of multiple scattered optical fields. The backscattering polarization matrices (Jones matrix and Mueller matrix) important for noninvasive medical diagnostic are introduced. The text also describes a number of diagnostic techniques such as CW polarization imaging and spectroscopy, polarization microscopy and cytometry. As a new tool for medical diagnosis, optical coherent polarization tomography is analyzed. The monograph also covers a range of biomedical applications, among them cataract and glaucoma diagnostics, glucose sensing, and the detection of bacteria.
