We present a systematic study of light transmission through individual nanoscale apertures (rectangular slits and circular holes) etched in a 300-nm-thick silver film. Transmission spectra were obtained as functions of aperture shape and size, as well as the wavelength and polarization state of the normally incident light beam. By varying the wavelength of the incident light in the 550–750 nm r...

cellulose nanocrystal (cnc) is a type of nanomaterial which is produced by partial hydrolysis of cellulose and elimination of its amorphous regions. cnc has several advantages such biodegradability and safety toward human health. in this study, cnc was produced from cotton linters and methods such transmission electron microscopy which were used for confirmation of nanoscale size production of ...

introduction: application of light transmitting posts to restore greatly damaged endodontically treated teeth has been increased. it is suspected that light intensity decreases as it passes throughout different materials. this can reduce the degree of conversion required for adequate bond strength throughout the length of these posts. the objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of li...

purpose: to report the confocal microscopic features of endothelial vacuolation in donated corneas and to confirm the observed changes by transmission electron microscopy. methods: confocal and transmission electron microscopy were performed on donated corneas with endothelial vacuole formation on slitlamp biomicroscopy. the ultrastructural findings were also compared with those of a normal-loo...

Optical transmission through concentric circular nanoslits is studied in experiments and numerical simulations. Polarized optical microscopic imaging shows that the optical transmission through these apertures is spatially inhomogeneous, exhibiting colored fan texture patterns. Numerical simulations show that these colored fan texture patterns originate from the cylindrical vector polarization ...

the accumulation and composition of berry anthocyanin was measured in vitis vinifera l. cv. yatomi rosa using various light qualities provided by polyethylene films (red, orange, green, blue, and white). the anthocyanin has been enhanced significantly by blue light filter film and suppressed by red, orange, and green films compared to white film (control), which suggests that yatomi rosa has ad...

Wireless optical technology like visible light communication is a new approach in terms of security, speed, usability, bandwidth and flexibility for data communication. More and more people with their devices access wireless internet today, due to which clogged airwaves are going to make transmission slow and is full of interference. The solution to this problem of slow speed is that data is to...
