This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical derivation and simulation for the application of a rotationally shearing interferometer (RSI) in the detection of exoplanets. The study focuses on the interaction between wavefronts from a distant star and its orbiting planet, exploring the generation and manipulation of interferometric patterns. Key optical elements, such as Dove prisms and Risley prisms, are analyzed for their role in isolating the planet's signal by introducing phase shifts and rotations. A rigorous mathematical model is developed to describe these wavefront interactions, phase modulations, and spatial frequency shifts. The theoretical framework provided serves as the foundation for understanding signal processing within the RSI and facilitating future experimental validation. The simulation results demonstrate the potential of RSI in exoplanet detection by effectively distinguishing planetary signals from stellar noise through precise phase and spatial frequency manipulation.

Label-free biological cell imaging relies on rapid multimode phase imaging of biological samples in natural settings. To improve image contrast, phase is encoded into intensity information using the differential interference contrast (DIC) and Zernike phase contrast (ZPC) techniques. To enable multimode contrast-enhanced observation of unstained specimens, this paper proposes an improved multimode phase imaging method based on the transport of intensity equation (TIE), which combines conventional microscopy with computational imaging.

The composite laminated rotationally stiffened shell is widely applied in aviation, aerospace, ship, machinery and other fields. To investigate the vibration characteristics of composite laminated rotationally stiffened shells with varying elastic boundary conditions, a modeling method of composite laminated rotationally stiffened shells is established. Firstly, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and the modified Fourier series method are effectively applied to establish the allowable displacement function of the composite laminated rotationally stiffened shell.

We have developed a new cryogenic ring shear device at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to simulate cryosphere processes, with an emphasis on the physics of glacier slip. The device spins a ring of ice (inner diameter of 20 cm, outer diameter of 60 cm, height of ∼20-30 cm) at the pressure melting point over a rotationally fixed bed. The ice ring is spun at a prescribed velocity (range of ∼0.
