Engineering the pupil phase to improve image quality

By suitably phase-encoding optical images in the pupil plane and then digitally restoring them, one can greatly improve their quality. The use of a cubic phase mask originated by Dowski and Cathey to enhance the depth of focus in the images of 3-d scenes is a classic example of this powerful approach. By using the Strehl ratio as a measure of image quality, we propose tailoring the pupil phase ...

Transient Plasma Induced Production of Oh and Its Effects on Ignition in Atmospheric Ch4-air Quiescent Mixtures (postprint)

DSP-controlled, space-vector PWM, current source converter for STATCOM application

Basic operational concepts of the single current source converter (CSC)-based STATCOM are studied in this paper. The space vector modulation scheme is adopted to control switching functions of the CSC. Capitalizing on anticipated new switch technology, the reduced-size LC filter is examined and design guidance is given. A filter current compensation method to reduce the error between command an...

Australian Aborigines’ Reconstructed History in Robert Merritt’s Play,The Cake Man

One of the parts and parcels of postcolonial literature is to deconstruct the history written by imperialism and to present the one as experienced by the colonized. As victims of British colonialism, Australian Aborigines have always mirrored the historical religious and territorial subjugation of their land in their writings, especially in their dramatic literature because of its high populari...
