Holograms were recorded by 30 fs laser pulses in 20 microm film of dichromated gelatin on the polished quartz substrate and reconstructed in the waveguide mode. The geometric-optical regime of waveguide hologram reconstruction was obtained: the direction of the reconstructed beam was observed to be independent on the reconstructing wavelength within the hologram spectral selectivity band. We discuss the possibility of producing achromatic waveguide optical elements containing only a few periods.

An achromatic extended depth-of-field (EDOF) system can obtain clear scene information that is crucial for target recognition, dynamic monitoring, and other applications. However, the imaging performance of most optical systems is depth-variant and wavelength-variant, which leads to the generation of chromatic aberrations. Traditional optical design and image post-processing algorithms cannot effectively eliminate these chromatic aberrations.

Article Synopsis
  • - Metasurfaces enable compact and real-time polarimetry, but their narrow bandwidth limits use in polychromatic scenes, leading to loss of spectral information.
  • - This study presents an achromatic polarimeter using four polarization-dependent metalenses, which achieves broad wavelength coverage from 450 to 650 nm with a relative bandwidth of about 0.364 for Stokes imaging.
  • - The design significantly outperformed current technologies, showing lower reconstruction errors and validating its full-color, full-polarization capabilities with a customized object, enhancing practical applications in polarization imaging.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for recording dual-wavelength holograms is proposed, using a combination of LED and laser illumination to avoid customized optical elements.
  • The approach involves parallel phase-shifting to minimize noise and capture clear LED holograms, alongside simultaneous laser hologram recording through spatial multiplexing.
  • Experimental results show this method can effectively achieve accurate height measurements in a single shot, while ensuring low noise and a comprehensive field of view.

Chromatic Aberration Correction in Harmonic Diffractive Lenses Based on Compressed Sensing Encoding Imaging.

Large-aperture, lightweight, and high-resolution imaging are hallmarks of major optical systems. To eliminate aberrations, traditional systems are often bulky and complex, whereas the small volume and light weight of diffractive lenses position them as potential substitutes. However, their inherent diffraction mechanism leads to severe dispersion, which limits their application in wide spectral bands.

Manufacturers of notch filter-based aids for color vision claim that their products can enhance color perception for people with anomalous trichromacy, a form of color vision deficiency (CVD). Anecdotal reports imply that people with CVD can have radically enhanced color vision when using the filters. However, existing empirical research largely focussed on the effect of notch filters on performance on diagnostic tests for CVD has not found that they have any substantial effect.
