Interface engineering for improved light transmittance through photonic crystal flat lenses
2010
In this paper, we present photonic crystal flat lenses with interfaces engineered to improve the light transmittance thanks to a broad angles impedance matching. The interface engineering consists in the realization of antireflection gratings on the edges of the lenses which are designed to reduce the propagative waves reflectivity over a wide range of incident angles. The fabricated structures were measured in optical near-field and a four times enhancement of the light transmission efficiency is reported.
Analysis of the Bloch mode spectra of surface polaritonic crystals in the weak and strong coupling regimes: grating-enhanced transmission at oblique …
2004
The Bloch mode spectrum of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a finite thickness metal film has been analyzed in the regimes of weak and strong coupling between SPP modes on the opposite film interfaces. The SPP mode dispersion and associated field distributions have been studied. The results have been applied to the description of the light transmission through thick and thin periodically structured metal films at oblique incidence. In contrast to normal incidence, all SPP Bloch modes on a grating structure participate in the resonant photon tunnelling leading to the transmission enhancement. However, at the angle of incidence corresponding to the crossing of different symmetry film SPP …
Depth-of-Field of the Accommodating Eye
2014
Our eyes project information from a three-dimensional world to a basically two-dimensional surface, corresponding to the photoreceptor plane in the retina. In theory, only one plane or surface of world can be in focus at one time. However, the eye exhibits a certain tolerance to out-of-focus images, a feature that is known as depth-of-focus (DOF). The corresponding distance range in which the objects are seen “clearly” is known as depth-of-field (DOFi). Although DOF and DOFi refer to an interval of distances or a dioptric range in the image and object space, respectively, both parameters define a similar concept and are usually interchangeable. This article will mainly refer to DOFi because…
Digitālās refrakcijas pielietojums labākā koriģētā redzes asuma novērtēšanai
2021
Darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 36 lappusēm, satur 20 attēlus, 4 tabulas un 35 literatūras avotus. Darba mērķis ir pārbaudīt redzes asumu ar trim refrakcijas metodēm: autorefraktometriju, subjektīvo refraktometriju un digitālo refraktometriju ar ierīci ESSILOR Vision R-800. Tika salīdzināta refrakcija 15 subjektiem vecumā no 12 līdz 40 gadiem. Refrakcijas dati tika pārveidoti optiskā stipruma vektora formā. Rezultāti: Statistiski nozīmīgas atšķirības tika konstatētas redzes asumam, bet ne optiskā stipruma vektoriem, kas bija ļoti līdzīgi viens otram. Secinājums: digitālā refrakcija ar precizitāti 0,01 D pie nepārtrauktas optiskā stipruma maiņas parādīja labāku redzes asumu pat pie zema …
Radzenes biezuma un acs refrakcijas korelācija bērniem.
2020
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts 46 lappusēm angļu valodā. Tas satur 19 attēlus, 9 tabulas, un 62 informācijas avotus. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt korelāciju starp radzenes biezumu un acs refrakciju 5-12 gadus veciem bērniem. Radzenes biezuma kartes un keratometrija tika mērīta, izmantojot Scheimpflug attēl veidošanas sistēmu Schwind Sirius. Keratometrija un refrakcija tika mērīta, izmantojot autokeratorefraktotonometru Topcon TRK-2P cikloplēģijā. Katram parametram tika veikti trīs mērījumi turpmākai analīzei. Šī pētījuma nolūkos tika analizētas 196 acis. Dalībniekiem ar hipermetropiju un hipermetropo astigmātismu novēroja lielākas radzenes biezuma vērtības centrā un radzenes perifērijā, atšķirī…
Cluster analysis for cavity detection using seismic refraction and electrical resistivity tomography
2017
Geophysical methods (in particular ERT technique) constitute an excellent tool for the detection of buried cavities. However the integration approach of e different geophysical methods could minimize the ambiguity of geophysical interpretation of the buried cavity. The technique of electrical tomography has been joined to the technique of seismic refraction tomography in order to obtain more robust interpretations. Many tests have been carried out using synthetic data and experimental ones. It was finally used a statistical approach based on cluster analysis of the P-wave velocity, the density of the seismic rays and the electrical resistivity of the synthetic and experimental models. Distr…
Binocular vision alterations after refractive and cataract surgery: a review.
2018
To review binocular and accommodative disorders documented after corneal or intraocular refractive surgery, in normal healthy prepresbyopic patients. A bibliographic revision was performed; it included works published before 1st July 2017 where accommodation and/or binocularity was assessed following any type of refractive surgical procedure. The search in Pubmed yielded 1273 papers, 95 of which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Few publications reporting binocular vision and/or accommodative changes after refractive surgery in normal subjects were found. The reduction in fusional vergence is the most frequently reported alteration. Anisometropia is an important risk factor for postoperativ…

Geophysical study of an landslide in northern Sicily
2002
The San Fratello area in the Nebrodi Mountains (northern Sicily) is a region of high instability. It has suffered many devastating occurrences, which have hit and destroyed the village of San Fratello. At present the area is still subject to a high landslide risk. A series of geophysical surveys have been carried out with the aim of determining the thickness and dimensions of the landslide body as well as some tectonic features, in order to gain insight into the evolution of the landslide. The following geophysical techniques have been used: borehole seismic tomography, i.e. down-hole tomographic seismic soundings (DH TSS), time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) soundings and georadar profiling…
Recognition of earthquake-induced damage in the Abakainon necropolis (NE Sicily): results from geo-morphological, geophysical and numerical analyses
2017
Seismotectonic activity and slope instability are a permanent threat in the archaeological site of Abakainon and in the nearby village of Tripi in NE Sicily. In recent times, signs of an ancient earthquake have been identified in the necropolis of Abakainon which dating was ascertained to the first century AD earthquake. The site is located on a slope of Peloritani Mts. along the Tindari Fault Line and contains evidence for earthquake-induced landslide, including fallen columns and blocks, horizontal shift and counter slope tilting of the tomb basements. In this paper, we used an integrated geomorphological and geophysical analysis to constrain the landslide. The research was directed to th…
