In the experimental setup, volcanic ash was suspended in nitrogen through mechanical agitation. Extinction spectra were recorded in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet spectral regions. The particle size distribution within the airflow was also recorded. An iterative algorithm allowed us to obtain fully consistent CRIs for the six samples, compatible with the observed extinction spectra and the Kramers-Krönig relations. While a good agreement is found with other recently reported CRIs in the UV/Vis, larger differences are found in the longwave infrared spectral region.The art of rectifying a laser beam carrying amplitude and phase distortions has been demonstrated through several competing methods. Both wavefront sensor and wavefront sensor-less approaches show that the closed-loop correction of a laser beam can be accomplished by exploiting high-resolution sampling of the beam distortion in its spatial or time domain, respectively. Moreover, machine-learning-based wavefront sensing has emerged recently, and uses training data on an arbitrary sensing architecture to map observed data to reasonable wavefront reconstructions. This offers additional options for beam correction and optical signal decoding in atmospheric or underwater propagation. Ideally, wavefront sensing can be achieved through any resolution in spatial samples, provided that more frequent sampling in the time domain can be achieved for a reduced number of spatial samples. However, such trade-offs have not been comprehensively studied or demonstrated experimentally. We present a fundamental study of lossy wavefront sensing that reduces the number of effective spatial samples to the number of actuators in a deformable mirror for a balanced performance of dynamic wavefront corrections. As a result, we show that lossy wavefront sensing can both simplify the design of wavefront sensors and remain effective for beam correction. In application, this concept provides ultimate freedom of hardware choices from sensor to sensorless approaches in wavefront reconstruction, which is beneficial to the frontier of study in free-space optical communication, lidar, and directed energy.In this paper, a hybrid mode and polarization division (MDM-PDM) (de)multiplexer based on a buried strip waveguide, operating at 1550 nm, is proposed on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The proposed device can (de)multiplex three quasi-transverse electric and two quasi-transverse magnetic modes of a multimode waveguide concurrently. The multiplexing and demultiplexing operations are achieved by coupling the multimode waveguide modes with the fundamental modes of the single-mode waveguides. The couplings between the modes are realized by employing grating structures in between the multimode and single-mode waveguides. A 2.5D finite-difference time-domain simulation technique is used to examine the performance of the device. An insertion loss of >-0.76dB, return loss of less then -11.23dB, and crosstalk of less then -12.42dB are obtained for the proposed hybrid MDM-PDM (de)multiplexer. Moreover, the fabrication tolerance of the proposed device structure is studied by keeping the center-to-center distance between the waveguides constant and by varying the waveguide width.We present a radial polarizer prepared by growing a thickness-constrained spherulite from an oleoresin polymer. As an insert between crossed linear polarizers, the fabricated device is used to alter the intensity profile of an incident zero-order Bessel beam. Radially polarized output beams have an intensity profile with a pronounced singularity at the center. Beams may be rotated by a simple reorientation of the crossed polarizers. Experimental results with our radial polarizer correspond to a transformation of the Bessel beam order from l=0 to l=2.We propose a miniaturized optical fiber Fabry-Perot probe for high temperature measurement (up to 1000°C). It is simply fabricated by fusion splicing a short section of polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PMPCF) with a single-mode fiber (SMF). The interface between the core of the SMF and air holes of the PMPCF, and the end face of the PMPCF work as the mirrors. The pure silica core of the PMPCF is employed as the sensing element. Experimental results show that the probe has a high thermal stability and the temperature sensitivity reaches up to 15.34 pm/°C, which is not affected by the length of the PMPCF. The linearity of temperature response is as high as 99.83%. The proposed sensor has promising prospects in practical applications due to simple fabrication process, low cost, compact size, and excellent repeatability.In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a strong correlation between the frequencies of the Raman pump and the Raman probe inside an optically pumped Raman laser. We show that the correlation is due to rapid adjustment of the phase of the dipoles that produce the Raman gain, following a sudden jump in the phase of the Raman pump. A detailed numerical model validates this interpretation of the phase correlation. The width of the spectrum of the beat between the Raman pump and the Raman laser is significantly narrowed due to this correlation. TAK-715 nmr As a result, the minimum measurable change in the cavity length, for a given linewidth of the Raman pump laser, is substantially reduced. Therefore, this finding is expected to enhance the sensitivity of such a laser in various metrological applications (e.g., accelerometry).A dual optical configuration to inspect the internal and external mechanical response of a composite specimen is presented. The inspection simultaneously uses two equally aligned optical techniques, digital holographic interferometry and Fourier domain optical coherence tomography, to retrieve surface and internal data, respectively. The sample under study is a composite specimen of poly-methyl-methacrylate reinforced with metallic particles. Two different sets of samples are analyzed to compare their mechanical behavior. A homemade, fully controlled testing machine is used to apply a controlled compression load while each technique registers an image. In this form, the surface and internal optical phase measurements are correlated to the same compression value for comparison purposes. Results for each technique are directly presented as simultaneous displacement maps, and a discussion and conclusion of this proposed dual method of inspection are presented.
