Optical aberration theory remains a fundamental component in the design and operation of space telescopes. With increasingly ambitious astronomical missions and the demand for high-resolution imaging, ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

Depth sensing plays a crucial role in various applications, including robotics, augmented reality, and autonomous driving. Monocular passive depth sensing techniques have come into their own for their ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Optical aberrations and the errors they introduce are a standard obstacle in localization microscopy techniques, and hinder the gathering of depth information from a biological sample. A project at ...

Optical instruments are how we see the world, from corrective eyewear to medical endoscopes to cell phone cameras to orbiting telescopes. This course extends what you have learned about first-order, ...

Light travels at different speeds based on the medium it passes through. For example, in a vacuum, it travels at 3.0 × 10^8 m/s in a straight line. But when directed towards glass, air, diamond, water ...

This paper covers a discussion of the Abbe Sine Condition and its implication for Flat Optics, including the effects of stop shift and substrate curvature. Following that, we apply Sweatt’s high index ...

For cataract surgery, when we implant the IOL, the closer the optic is to the center of vision, the better it is for visual outcomes. This is particularly true for IOLs that have diffractive rings ...
