AI Article Synopsis
- Computer generated holograms (CGHs) are essential tools for testing aspherical surfaces and certifying null lens systems used for large aspheric mirrors.
- By positioning a null-corrector-certifying CGH at a ray caustic, the size of the CGH can be reduced, allowing for the certification of null correctors that wouldn't be possible with larger CGHs.
- The study demonstrates a CGH with a diameter of about 20mm and a fabrication tolerance of one part in 10,000, which showcases the potential to overcome current size limitations in high-precision CGHs.
Article Abstract
Computer generated holograms (CGHs) are used for testing aspherical surfaces. They are also used for certifying null lens systems that are in turn used to test large aspheric mirrors. We demonstrate that, in order to minimize size, a null-corrector-certifying CGH can be located at a ray caustic. This placement minimizes the required size of the CGH and so makes it possible to certify some null correctors that otherwise, due to current size limitations of high-precision CGHs, could not be certified. Fabrication limits of precision CGHs are in the size range of 200-250 mm and one part in 10;5 in feature placement. Our proof of principle involves a CGH that is about 20mm in diameter with a fabrication tolerance of one part in 10;4.

Conversion of caustic red mud (RM, Alumina industry waste) into building materials becoming one of the viable solution for its large scale utilization. The building materials developed using RM often results in efflorescence due to its high alkalinity, which is detrimental for the structural integrity of the buildings. The X-ray shielding tiles developed through ceramic route using the mixtures of RM, BaSO and kaolin clay also suffers from severe NaSO efflorescence when sintered above 1000 °C.

Introduction: The method of dissolving a body to conceal crimes, a practice dating back to ancient times, has recently captured the interest of scientists and the film industry. Real-life cases inspired by media portrayals underscore the importance of understanding this process, which aims to prevent identification or locate the body. Historical and contemporary examples highlight the use of substances like caustic potash and various acids.

Here, we examine how radiation impacts the dissolution behavior of boehmite by subjecting dry nanoparticles of different sizes to Co γ radiation and subsequently analyzing their dissolution behavior in caustic solutions as a function of temperature. The measured kinetics show that irradiation with an amount 228.24 Mrad significantly slows the dissolution rate, particularly for smaller sizes at lower temperatures.

The integration of natural fibers into Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) has emerged as a promising avenue for sustainable and high-performance composite materials. Natural fibers, derived from plants, offer notable advantages such as renewability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Among these natural fibers, Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis (HRS) plant fibers have gained significant attention owing to their widespread availability and unique mechanical properties.

In the investigation of extreme density or wave height statistics in a disordered medium, of special interest is the search for universal or fundamental properties shared by different types of disorder. In previous work [Chen and Kaplan, Entropy 25, 161 (2023)1099-430010.3390/e25010161] we have established a direct connection between the degree of stretching or focusing of ray trajectories and the density distribution.
