Optical Techniques for Assessing Cell and Tissue Biomechanics
Optical elastography is a set of imaging techniques that use light to measure the mechanical properties of tissues and cells, which are crucial in understanding development and disease, especially cancer. Unlike ultrasound or MRI-based elastography, optical methods offer higher spatial resolution and sensitivity and can be miniaturized for ......
Infrared science cameras are complex instruments that require extensive training to use correctly to measure apparent temperatures, radiance and radiant intensity correctly, and this also applies to the software that interfaces to these cameras. The users of these cameras often require extensive customer support and training, which can be ......
This book first briefly reviews illumination optics and the basic technique of Zemax non-sequential design, then describes step-by-step, from beginning to completion, the process of modeling and designing illumination optics using Zemax non-sequential raytracing. Sixteen modeling examples and six design examples are described in this book. All of ......
Microwave photonics is a rapidly growing field that lies at the intersection of microwave engineering and optics. The integration of photonics and microwave engineering has opened up new possibilities for high-speed communication, radar and sensing systems, and signal processing applications. This book contains both the basic theory and the ......
Diffraction and background-limited operation at room temperature is the ultimate goal of the infrared physicist. The achievement of this goal is strongly dependent on the hybridization technology utilized in bonding the IR focal plane array to the Si ROIC. To this end, this book describes a disruptive architecture in the field of hybridization ......
In this second edition of Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography, coverage is maintained on the fundamental aspects of EUV lithographic technology for topics such as exposure tools, light sources, masks, resists, process control, metrology, and computational lithography. Lithography costs, which have often influenced areas of technical focus, are also ......
Computational optical imaging uses electromagnetic signals in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray wavelength ranges to characterize remote objects. This text explains how to create mathematical forward models describing tomographic, holographic, ptychographic, and photographic imaging systems. It describes image estimation algorithms, ......
Optical Design of Eyewear Displays is the first comprehensive resource dedicated to the optical engineering of modern augmented- and virtual-reality eyewear. It combines the core principles of geometrical and physical optics with practical design insight, showing how theory translates into the function and form of modern eyewear displays. Covering ......
The proper selection of mediums in designing certain photonic components plays an important role in achieving on-demand electromagnetic behavior that can be exploited for on-demand applications. Configuring the medium itself significantly impacts the electromagnetic features of the design as a whole. Engineered mediums can be conceptualized by the ......
