We proposed a novel cryptographic imaging scheme that is the combination of optical encryption and computational decryption. To prevent personal privacy from being spied upon amid the imaging formation process, in this study we applied a coded mask to optically encrypt the scene and utilized the deep neural network for computational decryption. For encryption, the sensor recorded a new representation of the original signal, not being distinguishable by humans on purpose. For decryption, we successfully reconstructed the image with the mean squared error equal to 0.028, and 100% for the classification through the Japanese Female Facial Expression dataset. By means of the feature visualization, we found that the coded mask served as a linear operator to synthesize the spatial fidelity of the original scene, but kept the features for the post-recognition process. We believe the proposed framework can inspire more possibilities for the unconventional imaging system.The asymmetry parameter is an important quantity used in radiative transfer modeling and scattering. This parameter specifies the amount of energy scattered by the particle along the direction of the incident illuminating field. However, a rigorous and complete analysis of the energetic scattering requires determining the energy scattered in the lateral direction as well. As such, the present work introduces generalized expressions for the scattering asymmetry parameters for a dielectric cylinder in arbitrary-shaped light-sheets, both along and perpendicular to the direction of the incident radiation. Both longitudinal and transverse scattering asymmetry parameters are defined, and their generalized expressions are obtained based on the (spatial) average cosine and sine of the scattering angle θ and the expression of the scattering cross section (or energy efficiency). The partial-wave series expansion method in cylindrical coordinates is used, and the resulting mathematical expressions depend on the beam-shaped coefficients and the scattering coefficients of the dielectric cylinder. Numerical results for arbitrary-shaped light-sheets illuminating a dielectric cylinder cross section located arbitrarily in space are presented and discussed. The longitudinal and transverse scattering asymmetry parameters defined here offer additional quantitative (quadratic) observables for the analysis of the energetic scattering in applications in electromagnetic scattering, optical light-sheet tweezers, radiative transfer computations, and remote sensing, to name a few examples.Quantum optical lithography, a diffraction-unlimited method, was applied to pattern monolayer graphene at 10 nm resolution. In our tests with chemical vapor deposition monolayer graphene samples, we have succeeded in producing flat surfaces of a sandwich of monolayer graphene-resist on Si, Si3N4, or glass substrates. Complex patterns have been written on monolayer graphene samples by a nanoablation process. The method could be used to realize monolayer graphene nanodevices.We designed and demonstrated a double-peak one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PhC) cavity device by integrating two 1D PhCs cavities in a parallel configuration. The device design is proposed so that it can be used for bio-sensing purposes and has a self-compensation ability to reduce the measurement error caused by the change of the surrounding temperature. By combining two light resonances, two resonance peaks are obtained. The peak's separation, which gives the initial value for a sensing system, can be controlled by varying the cavity length difference (Δc) between the first and second 1D PhCs in parallel. Then, by making one arm of the device as the reference arm and the other arm as the sensing arm, the temperature self-compensation device can be realized. The design and simulation of this device are done by using Lumerical software, which are Lumerical MODE, Lumerical finite-difference time-domain, and Lumerical Interconnect. Electron-beam-lithography and deep reactive-ion-etching processes were used for device fabrication. The experimental results show the controllable peaks' separation, which solves the double-peak requirement for a temperature self-compensated bio-sensor design.Pupil expansion using waveguide propagation and pupil replication has been a popular method of developing head-up displays and near-to-eye displays. This paper examines one of the limits of pupil replication, which involves projecting images at a finite distance through a single waveguide by holographic optical elements and seeing the image doubling artifact. A Zemax model and a demonstrator were developed to determine the cause of image doubling. A relationship between the designed outcoupled image distance of a waveguide, pupil size, optical path length, and angle of image doubling is established. In waveguide pupil replication, the internally propagating light should be close to collimated to mitigate image doubling. We also provide a solution to project the image at different distances, which is an important factor for some applications, such as automotive head-up display and the seamless integration of augmented reality information with the natural environment.In continuous-time photonic time-stretched analog-to-digital conversion (PTS-ADC), a wavelength-division multiplexer (WDM) is widely used to separate the overlapped stretched signal segments in both the wavelength and time domains. However, the spectrum shape of the WDM is not an ideal rectangle, and signal distortion occurs when we reconstruct the stretched signal by connecting the segments carried by the rising or falling edges of the spectrum. A signal distortion compensation scheme based on redundancy detection is proposed in this paper. Two WDMs with complementary spectrum division are employed; if we properly set the central wavelength of each channel of both WDMs, the signal segments that might be distorted by inter-channel mismatch can be redundantly detected and the distortion can be completely avoided. APR246 Moreover, by adjusting the dispersion amount of the first dispersive medium, the optical carrier obtained by connecting the stretched chirped pulses is partly overlapped, which guarantees the redundant modulation of signal segments that might be distorted by inter-pulse mismatch.
