A new technique of two-wavelength nondiffuse holographic interferometry is demonstrated that is capable of producing interferograms of transparent media with high or low sensitivity. Incorporating an arrangement similar to Bryngdahl's longitudinally reversed shearing interferometer, the technique works by superposing the reconstructed true and/or conjugate images of two transmission image holograms of the test medium recorded at different wavelengths. Extensions of the technique allow one to record interferograms sensitive only to the optical dispersion of the test medium and to generate light beams with phase distributions equal to the sum or difference of the phases of the original object beams.

Structured beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) provide powerful capabilities for applications in optical tweezers, super-resolution imaging, quantum optics, and ad-vanced microparticle manipulation. However, it is challenging for generate and control the OAM beams at the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region due to the lack of suitable wave front shaping optics arise from being limited to the strong absorption of most materials. Here, we use a modified Fermat-spiral photon-sieve splitter to simultaneously generate two focused doughnut beams with opposite helical phase.

In the past few years, deep learning methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made good progress in removing Gaussian noise. However, they tend to fail when these deep networks designed for Gaussian noise removal are used to remove speckle noise.

Article Synopsis
- Quantitative phase microscopies (QPMs) enhance bio-imaging by providing critical data on mass distribution and transport, which is not achievable through fluorescence techniques and are label-free, avoiding issues like photobleaching.!*
- The review compares eight QPM techniques, including digital holographic microscopy and phase-shifting interferometry, focusing on their accuracy and measurement capabilities using a custom-developed numerical toolbox for simulations.!*
- Results indicate that DHM and PSI are robust against artefacts but can be affected by coherent noise, while other techniques show a balance between measurement precision and accuracy, with some experiencing limitations due to inherent artefacts, especially with larger samples like eukaryotic cells.!*

Article Synopsis
- Large field-of-view (FOV) microscopic imaging is crucial in biomedicine, particularly in label-free techniques like lensless digital holographic microscopy (LDHM), which offers high resolution but faces challenges in accurate quantitative phase imaging (QPI).
- The research uses two-photon polymerization (TPP) to create widefield phase test targets, enabling the assessment of LDHM's imaging errors across the entire large FOV under various conditions.
- Results showed that there are minimal phase value differences (under 12%) near the detector's edges, highlighting the need for new design approaches in photonic manufacturing to improve large-area lensless imaging accuracy.

In aircraft engines, thermoacoustic oscillations in the combustion chamber contribute significantly to noise emissions, which, like all other emissions, must be drastically reduced. Thermoacoustic oscillations are not only a concern, they can also be beneficial in hydrogen combustion. This work demonstrates that thermoacoustic density oscillations with amplitudes at least an order of magnitude smaller than those resulting from density gradients in a turbulent flame can be detected using laser interferometric vibrometry.
