Wide -band, high spectral resolution, and miniaturized imaging spectrometers have important applications. However, the working band, spectral resolution, and volume of the imaging spectrometers are mutually restricted. To solve this problem, we proposed a method in which multiple working bands share the same optical components except gratings, and the working bands switch with the switching of the working gratings. Based on the freeform surfaces characterized by XY polynomials, we designed a compact wide -band triple grating imaging spectrometer through the design ideas of human -computer interaction and iterative optimization. The imaging spectrometer works in the wavelength band of 200 nm ti 1600 nm, covering ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near -infrared light, and it has a compact optical path volume of 24 mm x 38 mm x 80 mm. Three gratings with 0.0025 mm, 0.005 mm, and 0.01 mm line spacing are used to realize dispersion with high diffraction efficiency in the bands of 200 nm ti 400 nm, 400 nm ti 800 nm, and 800 nm ti 1600 nm, respectively. The UV detector receives imaging light in the UV band (200 nm ti 400 nm), and the visible near -infrared (VNIR) detector receives imaging light in the visible and near -infrared bands (400 nm ti 1600 nm). The design results show that the spectral resolutions of the three bands are 0.4 nm, 0.8 nm, and 1.6 nm, and the spectral smile and keystone distortion are less than 1.4 mu m. The design results have engineering application value. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group.

Optomechanical systems used in vehicles or moving platforms are exposed to vibration loads from road effects. This study investigated the dynamic behavior of an optomechanical system exposed to random vibrations. Random vibration analysis and laboratory tests of the system were performed with the MIL-STD-810 test method standard. The relative displacements of two lenses in the optomechanical system were obtained under vibration loads by using the finite element (FE) method. The displacements were examined by tests. The obtained relative displacements of the lenses were used as input to the optical analysis and the laser spot position was obtained. The obtained spot positions were evaluated comparatively with the tests. The optical analysis results were consistent with the tests. Using the verified FE and optical models, structural modifications were made in the basic design. Five different design changes were examined. The natural frequencies and the mass of the entire system and the relative displacements of the lenses were obtained for comparative evaluation. Finally, the optimum design minimally affected by vibration loads was achieved.

The solid immersion (SI) effect is widely used to increase the spatial resolution of optical focusing systems and even overcome the Abbe diffraction limit. Resolution enhancement offered by a SI lens is mostly a function of its geometry and refractive index nSI. While SI lenses are relatively well understood, the scaling of the resolution enhancement by such lenses is still a subject of debate, with some works reporting <^>nSI and <^>n2SI dependencies for the hemispherical and hyperhemispherical SI lens configurations, respectively. In this paper, we offer a general argument for a resolution limit for SI optics and, then, verify it via the numerical analysis of the hemispherical and hyperhemispherical silicon SI lenses designed for the terahertz (THz) range. In fact, we find that there is no contradiction in the reported resolution enhancements <^>nSI and <^>n2SI;however, they happen in different operation regimes. We then demonstrate that the resolution values reported for the different SI lens arrangements in the visible (viS), near-, and middle-infrared (NIR and MIR), as well as THz bands obey the derived limit. Our findings will be useful for the further design and applications of SI optics. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group.

Metamaterials opened a new realm to control light-matter interactions at sub -wavelength scale by engineering metaatoms. Recently, the integration of several emerging nonlinear materials with metamaterial structures enables ultrafast all -optical switching at the nanoscale and thus brings enormous possibilities to realize next -generation optical communication systems. This Letter presents a novel, to the best of our knowledge, design of plasmonic metamaterials for high -contrast femtosecond all -optical switching. We leverage magnetic plasmon (MP) resonance combined with the nonlinear effects of an epsilon -near -zero (ENZ)-material. The proposed design comprises a periodic array of two closely spaced Au-nanogratings deposited on an optically thick Au -substrate to excite MP -resonance. To enable a dynamically tunable resonance, the nanogrooves in meta -atoms are filled with an ENZ-material, cadmium -oxide (CdO). The intraband transition -induced optical nonlinearities in the ENZ-medium are studied using a two -temperature model. The MP -resonance ensures strong light-matter interactions enabling enhancement of the nonlinearities of the proposed structure. We observe that the pump -induced refractive index change in the CdO layer causes a redshift of the MP -resonance dip wavelength in the reflectance spectrum, leading to a high modulation depth of 0.83 at 1.55 mu m. With an ultra -fast response time of 776 fs while maintaining a low pump-fluence of 75 mu J/cm 2 , the proposed metamaterial could help in realizing switches for next -generation optical computation systems.

We propose a smartphone-based optical sectioning (SOS) microscope based on the HiLo technique, with a single smartphone replacing a high-cost illumination source and a camera sensor. We built our SOS with off-the-shelf optical, mechanical cage systems with 3D-printed adapters to seamlessly integrate the smartphone with the SOS main body. The liquid light guide can be integrated with the adapter, guiding the smartphone's LED light to the digital mirror device (DMD) with neglectable loss. We used an electrically tuneable lens (ETL) instead of a mechanical translation stage to realise low-cost axial scanning. The ETL was conjugated to the objective lens's back pupil plane (BPP) to construct a telecentric design by a 4f configuration to maintain the lateral magnification for different axial positions. SOS has a 571.5 mu m telecentric scanning range and an 11.7 mu m axial resolution. The broadband smartphone LED torch can effectively excite fluorescent polystyrene (PS) beads. We successfully used SOS for high-contrast fluorescent PS beads imaging with different wavelengths and optical sectioning imaging of multilayer fluorescent PS beads. To our knowledge, the proposed SOS is the first smartphone-based HiLo optical sectioning microscopy (1965) pound, which can save around 7035 pound compared with a traditional HiLo system (9000) pound. It is a powerful tool for biomedical research in resource-limited areas.

Resonant beam communications (RBCom), which adopts oscillating photons between two separate retroreflectors for information transmission, exhibits potential advantages over other types of wireless optical communications (WOC). However, echo interference generated by the modulated beam reflected from the receiver affects the transmission of the desired information. To tackle this challenge, a synchronization-based point-to-point RBCom system is proposed to eliminate the echo interference, and the design for the transmitter and receiver is discussed. Subsequently,the performance of the proposed RBCom is evaluated and compared with that of visible light communications(VLC)and free space optical communications (FOC). Finally, future research directions are outlined and several implementation challenges of RBCom systems are highlighted.

With the improvement of infrared detector technology over the last several decades, traditional design trades regarding the use of different wavebands in opticalsystems are becoming less and less applicable. Current detector technology is allowing for extended and even bridged wavebands, where previous detectors were limited to only a single waveband. These bridged waveband cameras, or superband cameras, contain detectors with response over large spectral spans, allowing them to take advantage of the unique properties of multiple wavebands. This type of system is especially of interest when the superband contains both the short-wave infrared (SWIR) waveband-where most of the signal comes from reflected light- to mid-wave infrared (MWIR) waveband-where most of the signal comes from emitted light. Such a superband system allows the combination of reflected and emitted light on a single detector, opening different system-level opticaldesign trades across many fields and disciplines. Presented is a comparison of reflected and emitted radiometric signal levels for four filtered wavebands using a 1.5- to 5.4-mu m superband imaging system: (1) with a 1.9-mu m SWIR short-pass filter, (2) with a 2- to 2.5-mu m extended SWIR (eSWIR) bandpass filter, (3) with a 3-mu m MWIR long-pass filter, and (4) with no filter (i.e., full superband response). The comparison in each of the four wavebands is repeated under four solar illumination conditions: full daylight, clouds, dusk, and night.

This paper studies the codebook design for sparse code multiple access (SCMA) based visible light communication (VLC) impaired by shot noise. By focusing on the typical Rician fading channels, we first derive a lower bound of the mutual information of VLC with shot noise and present a design metric called minimum normalized Euclidean distance (MNED). We then propose a novel codebook design approach for VLC including novel non-linear compensation (NLC) constellation and power scheduling matrix under the non-negative and real constraint. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed codebook design leads to a higher MNED and thus significantly improved bit error performance over the existing SCMA codebooks for VLC systems.
