This paper deals with the visualization and analysis of interaction of a cutting wedge disintegrator with plastic at low loads. For exploratory research, a contactless optical holographic interferometry method was used, allowing a comprehensive picture of the stress state when opening microcracks. An experimental model was set up for the purposes of the research. The structure of the model as well as its geometric parameters had to comply with the applied optical method. The method of holographic interferometry enabled us to record even the initial stages of the crack. Pictures of holographic interferograms allowed us to observe stress fields on the cutting wedge as well as on the loaded body in the form of interference fringes. In order to record the interferograms, we used the method of two exposures so that we gained double-exposure interferograms, which represent the state of the object during the second exposure. The first exposure was caused by superposition of object-related and reference wave after the object was subjected to a load; the second exposure occurred after the load was removed. We used quantitative analysis to determine stress intensity coefficients from holographic interferograms as followed by the calculation of stresses with respect to axes $x$x and $y$y. The analysis was done for loading forces 1.57 N and 3.14 N. As the load applied to the cutting material was increasing, the density of interference fringes was increasing, too.

Artificial microstructures, especially metamaterials, have garnered increasing attention in numerous applications due to their rich and distinctive properties. Starting from the principle of multi-beam interference, we have theoretically devised a beam configuration consisting of six symmetrically distributed coherent beams to generate two-dimensional microstructures with diverse shapes of unitcells under different polarization combinations. In particular, a split-ring metamaterial template is achieved with two adjacent circularly and four linearly polarized beams with such single-step holographic interferometry.

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.

Speckle noise, mechano-physical noise, and environmental noise are inevitably introduced in digital holographic coherent imaging, which seriously affects the quality of phase maps, and the removal of non-Gaussian statistical noise represented by speckle noise has been a challenging problem. 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.
