An optical rotary sensor based on laser self-mixing interferometry is proposed, which enables noncontact and full-circle rotation measurement of non-cooperative targets with high resolution and sensitivity. The prototype demonstrates that the resolution is 0.1${mu}$rad and the linearity is 2.33$*$10$^{-4}$. Stability of the prototype is 2${mu}$rad over 3600s and the repeatability error is below 0.84${deg}$ under 9-gruop full-circle tests. The theoretical resolution reaches up to 16nrad. Random rotation has been successfully traced with a bionic hand to simulate the tremor process. Error analysis and limitation discussion have been also carried out in the paper. Although the accuracy needs further improvement compared with the best rotary sensor, this method has its unique advantages of non-cooperative target sensing, high sensitivity and electromagnetic immunity. Hence, the optical rotary sensor provides a promising alternative in precise rotation measurement, tremor tracing and nano-motion monitoring.

We report a very high precision interferometric sensor with resolution up to ~{lambda}/1024, exploiting hollow photonic bandgap waveguide-based geometry for the first time. Here sensing has been measured by a complete switching in the direction of th
e outgoing beam, owing to transverse momentum oscillation phenomena. Using a 1.32 {mu}m source and core-width of 7.25 {mu}m, a complete switching cycle is obtained even due to a small change of ~1 nm in the core-width. Using hollow-core photonic bandgap waveguide, Talbot effect, revivals of the initial phase, oscillation in the transverse momentum along with multi-mode interference served as the backbone of the design. The ultra-sensitive multi-mode interferometric sensor based on photonic crystals will certainly open up a paradigm shift in interferometer-based sensing technologies toward device-level applications in photonic sensing/switching and related precision measurement systems.
High-density communication through optical fiber is made possible by Wavelength Division Multiplexing, which is the simultaneous transmission of many discrete signals at different optical frequencies. Vast quantities of data may be transmitted withou
t interference using this scheme but flexible routing of these signals requires an electronic middle step, carrying a cost in latency. We present a technique for frequency conversion across the entire WDM spectrum with a single device, which removes this latency cost. Using an optical waveguide in lithium niobate and two infrared pump beams, we show how to maximize conversion efficiency between arbitrary frequencies by analyzing the role of dispersion in cascaded nonlinear processes. The technique is presented generally and may be applied to any suitable nonlinear material or platform, and to classical or quantum optical signals.
We present a benchmark pilot study in which high-resolution Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT) is used to image human breast tissue and is evaluated to assess its ability to aid the pathologists management of intra-operative diagnoses.
Our aim included evaluating the safety of FF-OCT on human tissue and determining the concordance between the images obtained with routinely prepared histopathological material. The compact device used for this study provides a 2 {mu}m-lateral and a 1 {mu}m-axial resolution, and is able to scan a 1.5cm^2 specimen in about 7 minutes. 75 breast specimens obtained from 22 patients have been imaged. Because the contrast in the images is generated by endogenous tissue components, no biological, contrast agents or specimen preparation is required. We characterized the major architectural features and tissue structures of benign breast tissue, including adipocytes, fibrous stroma, lobules and ducts. We subsequently characterized features resulting from their pathological modification and developed a decision tree for diagnosis. Two breast pathologists applied these criteria, resulting in a demonstrable ability to distinguish between normal or benign tissue, in situ and invasive carcinomas using FF-OCT images, with a sensitivity of 97% and 90%, respectively, and specificity of 74% and 77% respectfully. FF-OCT shows great potential for the evaluation of human tissue and its characterization as normal/benign vs. lesional, for numerous ex-vivo clinical use-cases. Its high imaging accuracy for in-situ and invasive carcinoma paves the way for applications where a fast architectural assessment could improve the core needle biopsy workflow, tumor margin assessments, and provides quality assurance for tissue acquired for clinical care and research.
Three-color coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering represents non-degenerate four wave mixing process that includes both a non-resonant and resonant processes, the contributions of which depend on how the molecular vibrational modes are being excited
by the input laser pulses. Non-degenerate four wave mixing processes are complex and understanding these processes requires rigorous data analytical tools, which still lack in this research field. In this work, we introduce one- and two-dimensional intensity-intensity correlation functions in terms of a new variable (e.g., probe pulse delay) and new perturbation parameter (e.g., probe pulse linewidth). In particular, diagonal projections are defined here as a tool to reduce both synchronous and asynchronous two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy analyses down to one-dimensional analysis, revealing valuable analytical information. Detailed analyses using the all Gaussian coherent Raman scattering closed-form solutions and the representative experimental data for resonant and non-resonant processes are presented and compared. This intensity-intensity correlation analytical tool holds a promising potential in resolving and visualizing resonant versus non-resonant four wave mixing processes for quantitative label-free species-specific nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy.
While perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are now reaching high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), further performance improvement requires a fine management and an optimization of the light pathway and harvesting in the cells. These go through an accur
ate understanding, characterization and modelling of the optical processes occurring in these complex, often textured, multi-layered systems. In the present work, we have considered a typical methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) solar cell built on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode of high roughness (43 nm RMS). By variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) of the full PSC device, we have been able to determine the optical constants of all the device layers. We have designed a one-dimensional (1D) optical model of the stacked layers where the rough texture is described as layers of effective-medium index. We have supported the model using data extracted from scanning electron microscopy, diffuse spectroscopy and photovoltaic efficiency measurements. We show that the 1D model, while insufficient to describe scattering by the FTO plate alone, gives an accurate description of the full device optical properties. By comparison with the experimental external quantum efficiency (EQE), we estimate the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and the effect of the losses related to electron transfer. Based on this work, we finally discuss the optical losses mechanisms and the possible strategies that can be implemented to improve light management within PSC devices and further increase their performances.
