A thorough understanding of the phenomenon of interference is essential to investigate the nature of light from the viewpoints of both classical and quantum physics. In this regard, the coherence of ...
Self-mixing interferometry exploits the reinjection of a fraction of a laser’s own emission—reflected or scattered from a target—back into its active cavity. This interaction modifies the laser’s ...
In order to push the performance of optical systems, aspheric- and freeform surfaces are used in state-of-the-art optic design for correcting aberrations. The production of these complex-shaped ...
