Thermo-optic tuning and switching in SOI waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities
Compact silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors are demonstrated. Quality factors of Q=4,584 are... -
Parametric distortion-adaptive neighborhood for omnidirectional camera
Catadioptric omnidirectional images exhibit serious nonlinear distortion due to the involved quadratic mirror. Conventional pinhole model-based methods perform poorly when... -
A video based feedback system for control of an active commutator during beha...
Abstract Background To investigate the relationship between neural function and behavior it is necessary to record neuronal activity in the brains of freely behaving animals, a... -
Classifying publications from the clinical and translational science award pr...
Abstract Background Translational research is a key area of focus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as demonstrated by the substantial investment in the Clinical and... -
Twenty-five years of optical coherence tomography: the paradigm shift in sens...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the most successful optical technologies implemented in medicine and clinical practice mostly due to the possibility of... -
A novel system for introducing precisely-controlled, unanticipated gait pertu...
Abstract Background The experimental study of stumble recovery is essential to better understanding the reflexive mechanisms that help prevent falls as well as the deficiencies... -
Distorted Dammann grating
We introduce the Dammann phase-encoding method into original distorted gratings and propose a modified distorted grating, called a distorted Dammann grating (DDG), to realize... -
High-speed linear detection time domain optical coherence tomography with ref...
We developed a high-speed linear detection time-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique that detected a reflective grating-generated spatial optical delay in the... -
Saturated absorption competition microscopy
Owing to the advantage of being non-invasive in observing living samples, far-field optical microscopy is widely used in the life sciences, but the existence of the diffraction... -
Risk analysis for confined space entries: critical analysis of four tools app...
Investigation reports of fatal confined space accidents nearly always point to a problem of identifying or underestimating risks. This paper compares 4 different risk analysis... -
Three dimensional polarization sensitive OCT of human skin in vivo
We present three dimensional images of backscattered intensity, and to the best of our knowledge, the first 3D-images of retardation and fast axis orientation of human skin in... -
Introduction of digital speech recognition in a specialised outpatient depart...
Abstract Background Speech recognition software might increase productivity in clinical documentation. However, low user satisfaction with speech recognition software has been... -
Applicability of RNA standards for evaluating RT-qPCR assays and platforms
Abstract The availability of diverse RT-qPCR assay formats and technologies hinder comparability of data between platforms. Reference standards to facilitate platform evaluation... -
Estimating the nationwide transmission risk of measles in US schools and impa...
Abstract Background The spread of airborne infectious diseases such as measles is a critical public health concern. The U.S. was certified measles-free in 2000, but the number... -
Real-time crustal monitoring system of Japanese Islands based on spatio-tempo...
Abstract To continuously monitor crustal behavior associated with earthquakes, magmatic activities and other environmental effects (e.g., tides and rain precipitation), we have... -
Development of a benchmark tool for cancer centers; results from a pilot exer...
Abstract Background Differences in cancer survival exist between countries in Europe. Benchmarking of good practices can assist cancer centers to improve their services aiming... -
Acceleration of integral imaging based incoherent Fourier hologram capture us...
Speed enhancement of integral imaging based incoherent Fourier hologram capture using a graphic processing unit is reported. Integral imaging based method enables exact hologram... -
Multimodal adaptive optics retinal imager: design and performance
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) are complementary imaging modalities, the combination of which can provide clinicians with a wealth of... -
Toward real-time quantum imaging with a single pixel camera
We present a workbench for the study of real-time quantum imaging by measuring the frame-by-frame quantum noise reduction of multi-spatial-mode twin beams generated by four wave... -
