To overcome the limitations of phase sampling points in testing aspherical surface wavefronts using traditional interferometers, we propose a high-spatial-resolution method based on multi-directional orthogonal lateral shearing interferometry. In this study, we provide a detailed description of the methodology, which includes the theoretical foundations and experimental setup, along with the results from simulations and experiments. By establishing a relational model between the multi-directional differential wavefront and differential Zernike polynomials, we demonstrate high-spatial-resolution wavefront reconstruction using multi-directional orthogonal lateral shearing interferometry. Theoretical calculations and simulations of aspherical surface wavefront testing are followed by experimental verification on an aspherical surface with a known asphericity. Comparing the measurement results with those from the LuphoScan profilometer, we achieve a relative measurement error with an RMS precision better than λ/100.

This prospective cohort study is aimed to investigate circadian variations in corneal parameters, focusing on sleep-deprived subjects. Sixty-four healthy individuals (age range: 21-76 years) actively participated in this study, undergoing examinations at least five times within a 24-hour timeframe. The analysis encompassed keratometric parameters of the cornea's front (F) and back (B) surfaces, refractive power in flattest and steepest axes (K1, K2), astigmatism (Astig) and its axis (Axis), aspheric coefficient (Asph), corneal pachymetry values of thinnest corneal thickness (Pachy Min) and corneal thickness in the center of the pupil (Pachy Pupil), volume relative to the 3 and 10 mm corneal diagonal (Vol D3, Vol D10) and surface variance index (ISV).

Designing enzyme-based sensors necessitates a comprehensive exploration of macromolecular properties. Integrating enzymes with a suitable transducer involves immobilizing them onto a surface, facilitated through adsorption or entrapment techniques. Allantoin, a stable biomarkers metabolite, holds promise for detecting oxidative stress-related complications through its enzyme.

The position accuracy of the polishing tool affects the surface quality of the polished aspheric surface. The contact deformation among the polishing tool, abrasives, and aspheric part can cause a displacement, which, in turn, will cause a position error of the polishing tool, which will lead to a significant change in the polishing force. In order to resolve this error, this paper proposed a method of normal displacement compensation for a computer numerical controlled (CNC) polishing system by controlling the polishing force.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical zoom systems have found widespread applications in fields such as security and mobile phone lenses. The theory of zoom lens design has also developed from the first order to the third order. To address the demands for large aperture, wide field, and aspheric surfaces, a zoom system design method based on high-order structural aberration coefficients is introduced.
