When live imaging is not feasible, sample fixation allows preserving the ultrastructure of biological samples for subsequent microscopy analysis. This process could be performed with various methods, each one affecting differently the biological structure of the sample. While these alterations were well-characterized using traditional microscopy, little information is available about the effects of the fixatives on the spatial molecular orientation of the biological tissue. We tackled this issue by employing rotating-polarization coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (RP-CARS) microscopy to study the effects of different fixatives on the myelin sub-micrometric molecular order and micrometric morphology. RP-CARS is a novel technique derived from CARS microscopy that allows probing spatial orientation of molecular bonds while maintaining the intrinsic chemical selectivity of CARS microscopy. By characterizing the effects of the fixation procedures, the present work represents a useful guide for the choice of the best fixation technique(s), in particular for polarization-resolved CARS microscopy. Finally, we show that the combination of paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde can be effectively employed as a fixative for RP-CARS microscopy, as long as the effects on the molecular spatial distribution, here characterized, are taken into account.A self-made saturable absorber (SA) based on hybridized graphene oxide (GO) and $rm Fe_3rm O_4$Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FONP) was inserted into a linear cavity to generate a passively $ Q $Q-switched solid-state $rm Ndtextrm YVO_4$NdYVO4 laser operating at the 1.3 µm waveband. The laser had a minimum pulse width of 163 ns and a maximum repetition rate of 314 kHz. This experiment, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to demonstrate that hybridized GO and FONP (GO-FONP) can be used as an SA in passively $ Q $Q-switched pulse lasers. Results show that GO-FONP has the potential to be used for passively $ Q $Q-switched laser generation.Hyperspectral imaging spectrometers with a wide field of view (FoV) have significant application values. However, enhancing the FoV will increase the volume of the imaging spectrometer and reduce the imaging quality, so a wide-FoV spectrometer system is difficult to design. Based on the theory of off-axis astigmatism, we present a method that includes a "prism box," "partial anastigmatism," and a partial differential equation to solve the parameters of a freeform surface. In this method, a compact wide-FoV imaging spectrometer with a freeform surface is designed. The spectrometer is an Offner structure with two curved prisms as the dispersion elements. The primary mirror and tertiary mirror of the Offner spectrometer are an aspheric surface and a freeform surface, respectively, to correct the off-axis aberration of a wide FoV. The ratio of the slit length to the total length of the spectrometer is close to 0.4. In comparison to conventional spectrometers of the same specifications, the total length of the spectrometer is reduced by 40% and the volume by 70%. The compact imaging spectrometer has potential application in the field of space remote sensing. In addition, the design method of the spectrometer provides a reference for the design of other optical systems with freeform surfaces.When a beam of light excites a single spot on a thin luminescent layer embedded in a planar waveguide, a concentric re-emission pattern is observed. An analytical expression is formulated by following the series of events in the waveguide generation of angle-dependent photoluminescence spectra, reflection at the waveguide-air boundary, absorption by the luminescent layer, and generation of next-generation photoluminescence. The formula reproduces the peak radii observed in the experiments with some organic dyes. It provides insights for the re-emission events in a luminescent solar concentrator and the cross talk in an energy-harvesting display based on photoluminescence.In this paper, we introduce an innovative parameter that allows us to evaluate the so-called "relevant colors" in a painting; in other words, the number of colors that would stand out for an observer when just glancing at a painting. These relevant colors allow us to characterize the color palette of a scene and, on this basis, those discernible colors that are colorimetrically different within the scene. We tried to carry out this characterization of the chromatic range of paints according to authors and styles. We used a collection of 4,266 paintings by 91 painters, from which we extracted various parameters that are exclusively colorimetric to characterize the range of colors. After this refinement of the set of selected colors, our algorithm obtained an average number of 18 relevant colors, which partially agreed with the total 11-15 basic color names usually found in other categorical color studies.A lensometer based on an autocollimation system and a square Ronchi grid was designed, constructed, and tested. ABL001 chemical structure Refractive powers of monofocal, astigmatic, bifocal, and progressive lenses were measured. The focal plane was identified when no spots, or a minimum number of fringes, are observed on the bironchigram (pattern with a square Ronchi grid). For cylindrical lenses, the spots were transformed in fringes along the $ x $x and $y$y directions from which the cylindrical and spherical powers were obtained. For the progressive lenses, a zero spots circle moved on the bironchigram plane along the umbilic zone while the square Ronchi grid was moved along the optical axis. This lensometer is compact, cheap, and precise. Our measurements and errors were very similar to those obtained with a commercial lensometer.In this paper, we proposed a method for producing the azimuthally polarized vector beam experimentally. The experimental setup includes two of the same axicons and one annular glass cylinder. The top angles of the two axicons were placed facing each other and the annular cylinder was set among the two axicons. One circular polarized beam was passed through the first axicon, the annular cylinder, and the second axicon in turn. When the beam incident on the inner surface of the annular cylindrical satisfied the Brewster angle, we obtained the azimuthally polarized beam for the reflected light from the annular cylindrical that only contains the $s$s-polarization component. We have derived that the azimuthally polarized vector beam has the helical phase factor with the helical phase factor of $exp( - rm ivarphi )$exp(-iφ) for the left circularly polarized beam incident and $exp(rm ivarphi )$exp(iφ) for the right circularly polarized beam incident.
