Although capturing and displaying stereo 3D content is now commonplace, information-rich light-field video content capture, transmission and display are much more challenging, resulting in at least one order of magnitude increase in complexity even in the simplest cases. We present an end-to-end system capable of capturing and real-time displaying of high-quality light-field video content on va...

Recognizing the inherent weakness of the conventional hearing aid, we have developed a totally new design for hearing aids utilizing infrared (IR) light transmission. The hearing aid transmits the auditory message not as an acoustic wave, but as an infrared light beam. The invisible light beam carries the signal directly from a microphone near the speaker to the listener without any appreciable...

Spatial modes of light can potentially carry a vast amount of information, making them promising candidates for both classical and quantum communication. However, the distribution of such modes over large distances remains difficult. Intermodal coupling complicates their use with common fibers, whereas free-space transmission is thought to be strongly influenced by atmospheric turbulence. Here,...

The buried hetero-structure (BH) InGaAsP-InP waveguide is used for asystem of double microring resonators (DMR). The light transmission and location ofresonant peaks are determined for six different sets of ring radii with different ordermode numbers. The effect of changing middle coupling coefficient on the box likeresponse is studied. It is found that the surge of coupling coefficient to the ...

increasing development of nano-technology in optics and photonics by using modern methods of light control in waveguide devices and requiring miniaturization and electromagnetic devices such as antennas, transmission and storage as well as improvement in the electromagnetic tool, have led researchers to use the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (eit) and similar phenomena i...

Communication by visual light or VLC by its acronym in English (Visual Light Communication), uses visible light from fluorescent lamps, or light from light emitting diode (LED) to transmit information. The transmission of information is done by modulating the intensity of the LED light. In the receiver the information is initially recovered through a photo-detector, which is usually connected t...

Because of its light weight and small size, hydrogen exhibits one of the fastest diffusion rates in solid materials, comparable to the diffusion rate of liquid water molecules at room temperature. The diffusion rate is determined by an intricate combination of quantum effects and dynamic interplay with the displacement of host atoms that is still only partially understood. Here we present direc...

The intensity of a He–Ne laser ~633 nm, 5 mW! transmitted by different GaSe samples is observed to change in correlation with a Nd-yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser pulse ~532 nm, 7.8 ns, 3 mJ! which excites them. Such time response has been attributed to a nonlinear optical effect, i.e., a decrease in the refractive index due to the exciton screening by the photogenerated carriers. A calculation o...

We study both theoretically and experimentally the transmission of coherent light by a drop pattern (dew). The theory is based on the Kirchhoff scalar approach to diffraction. The polarization of the diffracted wave in the zero diffraction order is analyzed separately. The intensity in the zero diffraction order in the far zone is an oscillatory function of the drop size. These oscillations are...

This study is a quantitative assessment of the luminous energy transmitted through different translucent fiber posts. After embedding the posts in black resin, the blocks were submitted to sequential cuts in a precision machine, and depths of 16 mm, 12 mm, 8 mm, and 4 mm were assessed for light transmission with a digital photometer. The quantitative analysis showed significant differences betw...
