Article Abstract

We present what we believe to be the first automatic alignment of a synchrotron beamline by the Hartmann technique. Experiments were performed, in the soft-x-ray range (E=3 keV, lambda=0.414 nm), by using a four-actuator Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) active optic. A system imaging the KB focal spot and a soft-x-ray Hartmann wavefront sensor were used alternatively to control the KB optic. The beam corrected with the help of the imaging system was used to calibrate the wavefront sensor. With both closed loops, we focused the beam into a 6.8 microm x 9 microm FWHM focal spot.

Under-display camera (UDC) systems enable full-screen displays in smartphones by embedding the camera beneath the display panel, eliminating the need for notches or punch holes. However, the periodic pixel structures of display panels introduce significant optical diffraction effects, leading to imaging artifacts and degraded visual quality. Conventional approaches to mitigate these distortions, such as deep learning-based image reconstruction, are often computationally expensive and unsuitable for real-time applications in consumer electronics.

Integrated Sensing And Communication (ISAC) has been applied to the Internet of Things (IoT) network as a promising 6G technology due to its ability to enhance spectrum utilization and reduce resource consumption, making it ideal for high-precision sensing applications. However, while the introduction of millimeter Wave (mmWave) and massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technologies can enhance the performance of ISAC systems, they extend the near-field region, rendering traditional channel parameter estimation algorithms ineffective due to the spherical wavefront channel model. Aiming to address the challenge, we propose a tensor-based channel parameter estimation and localization algorithm for the near-field mmWave massive MIMO-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) ISAC systems.

In geophysical exploration, laser remote sensing detection of seismic waves based on wavefront sensors can be used for geological detection and geophysical exploration. However, due to the high sensitivity of the wavefront sensor, it is easy to be affected by the environmental light and vibration, resulting in random noise, which is difficult to predict, thus significantly reducing the quality of the vibration signal and the detection accuracy. In this paper, a large amount of data is collected through a single-point vibration detection experiment, and the relationship between amplitude and spot centroid offset is analyzed and calculated.

To quantify high-spatial-frequency wavefront errors caused by microaberration, we developed a high-resolution (20 µm) Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS). This system was designed using a small lenslet array (100 µm) and a large CMOS sensor (24.6 × 32.

Understanding pump-induced lensing in laser amplifiers is important for power scaling of solid-state lasers with maintenance of high beam quality, however, there is still incomplete knowledge of the relative role of different lensing processes, particularly between thermally-induced lensing and excited-state population-induced lensing. In this study, we directly measure the transient dioptric lensing in the diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate (Nd:YVO) gain medium using a time-gated wavefront sensor. Pulsed pump-probe measurements of the transient growth and decay of pump-induced lensing clearly distinguish thermal and population lensing mechanisms by their different time signatures.
