In this paper, we explore the potential benefits and limitations of using transmitter lenses in an orbital-angular-momentum (OAM)-multiplexed free-space optical (FSO) communication link. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that within certain transmission distances, using lenses at the transmitter to focus OAM beams could reduce power loss in OAM-based FSO links and that this improvement might be more significant for higher-order OAM beams. Moreover, the use of transmitter lenses could enhance system tolerance to angular error between transmitter and receiver, but they might degrade tolerance to lateral displacement.

Here, we describe a custom-designed quasi-optical system continuously operating in the frequency range 220 GHz to 1.1 THz with a temperature range of 5-300 K and magnetic fields up to 9 T capable of polarization rotation in both transmitter and receiver arms at any given frequency within the range through a unique double Martin-Puplett interferometry approach. The system employs focusing lenses to amplify the microwave power at the sample position and recollimate the beam to the transmission branch.

This paper proposes a multiple-lens receiver scheme to increase the misalignment tolerance of an underwater optical wireless communications link between an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a sensor plane. An accurate model of photon propagation based on the Monte Carlo simulation is presented which accounts for the lens(es) photon refraction at the sensor interface and angular misalignment between the emitter and receiver. The results show that the ideal divergence of the beam of the emitter is around 15° for a 1 m transmission length, increasing to 22° for a shorter distance of 0.

The ultrasonic sound guide system presents the audio broadcasting system based on the inaudible ultrasonic sound to assist the indoor and outdoor navigation of the visually impaired. The transmitters are placed at the point of interest to propagate the frequency modulated voice signal in ultrasonic sound range. The dual channel receiver device is carried by the visually impaired person in the form of eyeglasses to receive the ultrasonic sound for the voice signal via demodulation.

We demonstrate a variable-focus optoacoustic lens (VFOL) by pneumatically controlling a flexible polymer nano-composite membrane, which can produce laser-generated focused ultrasound (LGFU) with a high peak amplitude (>30 MPa) and a tight focal dimension (several hundred μm) over a wide dynamic range of focus variation (>20 mm) together with a long focal length up to 60 mm, each of which is widest and longest among optoacoustic lenses developed so far. Two different designs in lens dimension have been fabricated and characterized: VFOL-L with a 40-mm diameter and VFOL-S with 10 mm. VFOL-L exhibits a wide dynamic range of focal length variation from 38.

A pair of cylindrical lenses on the transmitter side of a conventional single-point FLDI instrument form two closely spaced (≤200µ), orthogonally polarized, parallel laser lines at the instrument's focus. On the receiver side of the instrument, the interference of the beams on a 16-element photodiode array results in a single line of measurements.
