The scaling of root mean square (RMS) wave aberration in an isometrically growing eye is investigated, along with changes due to measurements made at different relative pupil sizes. It is found that, relative to an initial state, if an eye expands in all directions by the factor k, and the wave aberration is then measured at a relative pupil size which has changed over the pupil size used for the original measurement by a factor b, the new wave aberration will be increased or decreased by a factor kb(n), where n is the exponent relating RMS wave aberration, to pupil radius, r, in the equation: RMS=qr(n) in the initial eye. This implies that, if wave aberration is measured in a growing eye with a constant measurement pupil size, the measured RMS will decrease by the factor 1/k(n-1).

A Review of Cascaded Metasurfaces for Advanced Integrated Devices.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Precision Measuring Technology & Instruments, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China.

This paper reviews the field of cascaded metasurfaces, which are advanced optical devices formed by stacking or serially arranging multiple metasurface layers. These structures leverage near-field and far-field electromagnetic (EM) coupling mechanisms to enhance functionalities beyond single-layer metasurfaces. This review comprehensively discusses the physical principles, design methodologies, and applications of cascaded metasurfaces, focusing on both static and dynamic configurations.

Talbot effect based sensor measuring grating period change in subwavelength range.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 380009, India.

Talbot length, the distance between two consecutive self-image planes along the propagation axis for a periodic diffraction object (grating) illuminated by a plane wave, depends on the period of the object and the wavelength of illumination. This property makes the Talbot effect a straightforward technique for measuring the period of a periodic object (grating) by accurately determining the Talbot length for a given illumination wavelength. However, since the Talbot length scale is proportional to the square of the grating period, traditional Talbot techniques face challenges when dealing with smaller grating periods and minor changes in the grating period.

Disulfidptosis is a recently identified form of cell death characterized by the aberrant accumulation of cellular disulfides. This process primarily occurs in glucose-starved cells expressing higher levels of SLC7A11 and has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for cancers with hyperactive SCL7A11. However, the potential for inducing disulfidptosis through other mechanisms in cancers remains unclear.
