Galvanometer driven optical system for laser dynamic focusing

Liang Yu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new dynamic focusing module driven by galvanometers for high-speed and high-precision laser focus positioning. The repeatability of the laser focus positioning is greatly improved due to the high repeatability and fast response time of the galvanometers. The proposed module can be integrated with an XY galvo scanner to achieve simultaneous, rapid, and precise laser focus positioning in all three axes.

Electro-optical synaptic characteristics of ferroelectric liquid crystals for artificial intelligence

Jeong-Seon Yu et al.

Summary: We propose electro-optical synaptic devices using surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals. Typical synaptic characteristics were observed for varying pulse time intervals, numbers of pulses, and signal voltages. Plasticity only occurred when pulses were applied at intervals shorter than the response time of the ferroelectric liquid crystal. Moreover, the plasticity increased with a higher pulse voltage and number of pulses. This demonstrates the importance of repeated learning. The synaptic weights required to make connections through learning in an artificial neural network can be determined by tuning the pulse signal. We discuss the high-speed computational potential of optical neuromorphic devices using liquid crystals.

Video-rate quantitative phase imaging with dynamic acousto-optic defocusing

Christos Alexandropoulos et al.

Summary: Various quantitative phase imaging techniques are capable of characterizing transparent and low-contrast samples without the need for dyes or probes. However, current implementations can be limited by the lack of suitable optical systems for fast and customizable focal plane selection. In this study, we combine acousto-optics with pulsed illumination to enable accurate and on-demand electronic defocus control for phase imaging, achieving diffraction-limited spatial resolution and high reconstruction fidelity. The system demonstrates feasibility by measuring dynamic events at rates as high as 100 phase maps per second, paving the way for quantitative phase imaging in various fields.

Experimental study on the impact of signal bandwidth on the transverse mode instability threshold of fiber amplifiers

Shuai Ren et al.

Summary: This work presents a detailed experimental study on the impact of signal bandwidth on the TMI threshold of fiber amplifiers. Different seed lasers with varying spectral linewidths were constructed, and the TMI threshold of the fiber amplifier was estimated through the intensity evolution of the signal laser. The experimental results show that the TMI threshold of fiber amplifiers exhibits specific trends of growth and constancy as a function of spectral linewidth of seed lasers.
