Non-moving Hadamard matrix diffusers for speckle reduction in laser pico-projectors
Personal electronic devices such as cell phones and tablets continue to decrease in size while the number of features and add-ons keep increasing. One particular feature of great interest is an integrated projector system. Laser pico-projectors have been considered, but the technology has not been developed enough to warrant integration. With new advancements in diode technology and MEMS device...
متن کاملMarkov speckle for efficient random bit generation.
Optical speckle is commonly observed in measurements using coherent radiation. While lacking experimental validation, previous work has often assumed that speckle's random spatial pattern follows a Markov process. Here, we present a derivation and experimental confirmation of conditions under which this assumption holds true. We demonstrate that a detected speckle field can be designed to obey ...
متن کاملAddressable microlens array for parallel laser microfabrication.
Parallel processing in femtosecond-laser-based microfabrication is demonstrated using a microlens array in conjunction with a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). A portion of the SLM is mapped onto each individual lenslet in the array and can be used to effectively switch foci on and off for fabrication. In addition, the technique allows for homogenizing the intensity of the array of ...
متن کاملPhotothermal laser speckle imaging.
The analysis of speckle contrast in a time-integrated speckle pattern enables visualization of superficial blood flow in exposed vasculature, a method we call laser speckle imaging (LSI). With current methods, LSI does not enable visualization of subsurface or small vasculature, because of optical scattering by stationary structures. In this work we propose a new technique called photothermal L...
متن کاملDesigning efficient microlens arrays: lessons from Nature
Nature provides a whole host of superior multifunctional structures that can be used as inspirational systems for the design and synthesis of new, technologically important materials and devices. We review here the exceptional optical performance of microlens arrays formed by light-sensitive brittlestars, their structural and compositional features, and advantageous properties. We show that bri...
