ELECT Accurate measurement of the optical magnitude and phase responses based on optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation with doubled measurement range is proposed and demonstrated. In the scheme, an optical carrier and a second-order sideband are generated by an RF signal at an OSSB modulator consisting of a Mach–Zehnder modulator and an optical bandpass filter. After the optical device unde...

A small portable system is described which is used to directly determine the optical extinction of the atmospheric aerosol. The requisite highly sensitive measurement of the optical extinction is accomplished simultaneously at two wavelengths in the near-infrared (1064 nm) and visible (532 nm), using the pulsed cavity ring-down (CRD) approach. The measurement at the two wavelengths can aid in s...

manufacturing of an optical lenses demand a specialized technology and thus needs sophisticated precision manufacturing process. pmma is one of the most used optical polymer for manufacturing of optical lenses, the shaping of which into the required precision and accuracy is a challenging task. the focus of the present paper is to understand the effect of machining parameters on the surface cha...
