Interferometric LiDAR is a device that is used to achieve distance, velocity and phase estimation with high precision and resolution through the use of frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW). In this instance, we study quantum enhancement detection techniques for a Mach-Zender interferometer with a FMCW coherent state input. Various quantum detection methods-including NOON state detection, coincidence detection, and sum of parity detection-are applied to the FMCW coherent state and compared against the classical heterodyne detection technique. The findings reveal the potential to trade maximum detectable distance for resolution enhancement. Furthermore, classical Fisher information is utilized to validate and quantify the precision limits of each detection technique. In scenarios characterized by high losses, it is observed that the precision limits of coincidence detection, sum of parity detection, and classical detection techniques are comparable. Therefore, this study offers practical guidance for designing quantum-enhanced receivers for FMCW LiDAR systems.

Gluing is a critical step in aircraft sealing assembly, with glue profile inspection serving as the final quality assurance measure to ensure consistency and accuracy of the sealant coating, allowing timely detection and correction of defects to maintain assembly integrity and safety. Currently, existing glue inspection systems are limited to basic inspection capabilities, lack result digitization, and exhibit low efficiency. This paper proposes a 3D inspection technology for sealant coating quality based on line-structured light, enabling automated and high-precision inspection of sealant thickness, sealant width, positional accuracy, and overlap joint sealant contour through geometric computation.

Purpose: Because chickens have excellent light perception properties, this study focused on investigating whether monochromatic light can cause photodamage in chicken retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).
Methods: Post-hatching day chickens were exposed to four different light-emitting diode light environments for five weeks, respectively, monochromatic blue light (480 nm), green light (560 nm), red light (660 nm), or white light (6000 K). The mechanisms through which monochromatic light influences the structure of the chicken retina were analyzed by detecting the morphological structure of the retina, gene and protein expression levels, and the ultrastructure of the optic nerve.

Background: Radiation segmentectomy (RS) is an alternative potential local curative treatment for selected colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) not amenable to ablation or limited resection.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric response of low volume CLMs to RS in heavily pretreated patients who are not candidates for resection or percutaneous ablation.
Patients And Methods: This single-center retrospective study evaluated CLMs patients treated with RS (prescribed tumor dose >190 Gy) from 2015 to 2023.
