Wavelength-compensated time-sequential multiplexed color joint transform correlator
2010
We report a wavelength-compensated three-channel (RGB) joint transform correlator (JTC) for color pattern recognition using a ferroelectric liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) operating in binary pure phase modulation. We apply a previously reported time-multiplexing technique useful in creating wavelength-compensated diffraction patterns, based on the synchronization of properly scaled diffraction masks with the input wavelength selection obtained by applying a rotating RGB color-filter wheel to an Ar-Kr laser. The application of this technique to a JTC architecture permits real-time color object detection. In order to achieve a high light efficiency for the correlation process, w…
Ultraviolet holographic recording in photopolymers
2011
Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA) acrylate based photopolymers were studied as a medium for Bragg grating fabrication. NOA photopolymers have absorption maximum in near UV region, but they are transparent in visible light region. Photopolymers were irradiated by He-Cd laser 325 nm line interference patterns during holographic recording. In light irradiated regions photopolymerization takes place and volume grating can be recorded. Diffraction efficiency in dependence on sample thickness, recording beams polarization state and intensity was investigated on transmission mode. Enlargement of sample thickness allows to achieve better angular selectivity of diffracted beam, therefore thickness of p…
Liquid crystal spatial light modulator with very large phase modulation operating in high harmonic orders.
2013
Unusually large phase modulation in a commercial liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) is reported. Such a situation is obtained by illuminating with visible light a device designed to operate in the infrared range. The phase modulation range reaches 6π radians in the red region of the visible spectrum and 10π radians in the blue region. Excellent diffraction efficiency in high harmonic orders is demonstrated despite a concomitant and non-negligible Fabry–Perot interference effect. This type of SLM opens the possibility to implement diffractive elements with reduced chromatic dispersion or chromatic control.
Study of spatial lateral resolution in off-axis digital holographic microscopy
2015
The lateral resolution in digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has been widely studied in terms of both recording and reconstruction parameters. Although it is understood that once the digital hologram is recorded the physical resolution is fixed according to the diffraction theory and the pixel density, still some researches link the resolution of the reconstructed wavefield with the recording distance as well as with the zero-padding technique. Aiming to help avoiding these misconceptions, in this paper we analyze the lateral resolution of DHM through the variation of those two parameters. To support our outcomes, we have designed numerical simulations and experimental verifications. Both…
Visible light apparatus for preliminary tests of x-ray optics
2006
We report a useful visible light testing procedure for a first analysis of soft X-ray grazing incidence optics (0.1-2 keV). Although diffraction is a limit in the application of this method, great advantages are obtained by running the tests in air with direct access to modify the geometrical mounting of the individual mirror shells. We present the experimental apparatus and show the first results of the investigation of light weight optics based on plastic foil material and comparison with results obtained with an X-ray beam.
A multi-step mechanism and integrity of titanate nanoribbons.
2014
A one-step hydrothermal treatment of TiO2 powders under strongly basic conditions has been used to synthesize titanate nanoribbons. The nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized using several methods including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) to determine their morphological, structural and chemical characteristics. The influence of the nature and size of the TiO2 precursor and of the reaction duration on the formation of the nanoribbons was investigated. The conditions required to obtain only titanate nanoribbons with a width ranging from 100 to 200 nm and several tens of micrometers in length w…
La ratio interdigital D2:D4 y su relación con otros indicadores de androgenización en progenitores de personas con trastornos del espectro autista
2013
The 2D:4D ratio is the quotient between the index and ring finger lengths and is a non-direct indicator of androgenisation. If prenatal testosterone levels in the amniotic fluid are high then the probability increases of developing lower ratio values. It has been suggested that people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their parents may have highly androgenised brains, and for this reason the 2D:4D ratio is used as a marker of such idiosyncrasies. This study aims to analyse if parents of people with ASD differ from the general population in several parameters of androgenisation related to the 2D:4D ratio. The sample was composed of 43 parents of offspring with ASD and 42 controls who …
Theoretical studies on the spectroscopy of the 7-azaindole monomer and dimer
2001
The absorption and the emission spectra, both fluorescence and phosphorescence, of the 7-azaindole molecule have been studied by means of the complete active space (CAS) SCF method and multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). Excitation energies, oscillator strengths, dipole moments, transition dipole moments, and their directions have been computed and the results compared to those of analogous molecules such as indene, indole, and benzimidazole, to get a homogeneous picture of the photophysics of the systems. The absorption and emission of the 7-azaindole dimer and its related tautomer have also been computed in order to get further insight into the double fluoresce…
Charge transfer states of C2 in Kr clusters
2004
Abstract Ab initio and diatomics-in-ionic-systems (DIIS) calculations are carried out for the C 2 –Kr pair and C 2 –Kr n clusters, respectively. Energetics and transition dipole moments between the ground and excited states are obtained from the calculations. This data is then used to predict the UV charge transfer absorption spectrum of C 2 embedded in Kr n clusters with n = 1, 12, and 224. The results reveal discrete structure in the computed UV spectrum, which is mainly related to the spin–orbit splitting of Kr + .
The Spectrum of Analytic Mappings of Bounded Type
2000
Abstract A Banach space E is said to be (symmetrically) regular if every continuous (symmetric) linear mapping from E to E ′ is weakly compact. For a complex Banach space E and a complex Banach algebra F , let H b ( E , F ) denote the algebra of holomorphic mappings from E to F which are bounded on bounded sets. We endow H b ( E , F ) with the usual Frechet topology. M ( H b ( E , F ), F ) denotes the set of all non-null continuous homomorphisms from H b ( E , F ) to F . A subset of G EF on which the extension of Zalduendo is multiplicative is presented and it is shown that, in general, the sets G EF and M ( H b ( E , F ), F ) do not coincide. We prove that if E is symmetrically regu…
