We report quantitative determination of elemental distribution in binary compounds with nano meter scale spatial resolution using x-ray Fresnel coherent diffractive imaging (FCDI). We show that the quantitative magnitude and phase values of the x-ray wave exiting an object determined by FCDI can be utilized to obtain full-field atomic density maps of each element independently. The proposed method was demonstrated by reconstructing the density maps of Pt and NiO in a Pt-NiO binary compound with about 18 nm spatial resolution.

A single-exposure method for complex amplitude reconstruction in beam quality analysis is proposed, utilizing lens-free coherent amplitude modulation imaging (LF-CAMI). This approach leverages a partially saturated diffraction pattern to reconstruct the complex amplitude of a measured laser beam. The corresponding intensity images near the beam waist along the axial direction are determined directly via the Fresnel diffraction formula.

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the focusing of gigahertz coherent phonon pulses propagating in water using picosecond ultrasonics and Brillouin light scattering. We achieve this by using planar Fresnel zone plate and concave lenses with different focal lengths. Pump light illuminating the optoacoustic lens generates a focusing acoustic field, and Brillouin scattered probe light allows the acoustic field to be continuously monitored over time.

This research examines, using both theory and experimentation, how a light beam's spatial coherence affects a sinusoidal linear Fresnel zone plate's depth of focus. We generate a one-dimensional partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beam from a coherent laser beam through putting a rotating diffuser near to the common focal plane of two cylindrical lenses in a 2f-system. By adjusting the beam spot size on the diffuser, one may modify the coherence width of the produced beam.

According to the generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle and Rayleigh scattering theory, the effects of two main parameters of the beam, namely relative coherence length and non-trivial phase factor, on the self-focusing characteristics and radiation force are respectively researched. We have also conducted a brief analysis of the stability of particle capture using this self-focusing vortex beam.
