Letter for the article Refractive Predictability and Biometry Agreement of a Combined Swept Source Optical Coherence Reflectometry Biometer Compared to an Low SS-OCT

We present an akinetically swept light source based on a spectrally broadened mode-locked laser in all normal dispersion optical fiber followed by linear dispersive time stretch and regenerative amplification stage. Developed for ultrafast swept-source coherence tomography (SS-OCT), the enables demonstration of A-scan rate at 40 MHz with 12 μm axial resolution. Through A-scans captured from fas...

Approximate Message Passing (AMP) has been shown to be a superior method for inference problems, such as the recovery of signals from sets of noisy, lower-dimensionality measurements, both in terms of reconstruction accuracy and in computational efficiency. However, AMP suffers from serious convergence issues in contexts that do not exactly match its assumptions. We propose a new approach to st...

ct: We introduce a new concept for stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-based slow light in optical fibers that is applicable for broadly-tunable frequency-swept sources. It allows slow light to be achieved, in principle, over the entire transparency window of the optical fiber. We demonstrate a slow light delay of 10 ns at 1.55 μm using a 10-m-long photonic crystal fiber with a source sweep rate of...

A general formulation for determining complex sweeps comprising a multiple of parameters has been presented by the authors in recent work. This paper investigates the boundaries to swept volumes, and in specific, addresses the problem of determination of voids in the volume. The determination of voids has become of major concern in CAD software, where the accurate calculation of the swept volum...

Sweepers is a framework for defining space deformation operations for interactive shape modeling. The artist describes a basic deformation as a path through which a tool is moved. Our tools are simply shapes. So we can use shapes already created as customized tools to make more complex shapes or to simplify the modeling process. When a tool is moved, it causes a deformation of the working shape...

[Summary] Optical technologies that have so far been restricted to the field of optical communications are now starting to be applied in new fields, especially medicine. Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) offering fast and accurate target position measurements is one focus of attention. The Wavelength Swept Light Source (WSLS) is said to be one of the key devices of OFDR, whose sweep...

We quantitatively examine the significance of star formation triggered in the swept-up shell around an expanding H II region. If the swept-up molecular gas is sufficiently massive, new OB stars massive enough to repeat the triggering process will form in the shell. We determine the lower limit (Mthr) for the mass of the star that sweeps up the molecular gas, where at least one new star with mas...
