Abstract The lack of quantitative characterization aerosol particles and their loading in the atmosphere is one greatest uncertainties climate-change science. Improved instrumentation capable determining size shape needed efforts to reduce this uncertainty. We describe a new instrument carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that images free-floating atmosphere. Using digital holography, obtains non-contact manner, resolving larger than ten micrometers sensing volume approximately three...
We study the extinction caused by a single particle and present conceptual phase-based explanation for related optical theorem. Simulations of energy flow particle's presence in collimated beam light demonstrate how process occurs. It is shown that does not necessarily cause reduction along exact forward direction. Implications regarding measurement single-particle cross section are discussed. This work extended to noninteracting interacting multiparticle groups Part II [J. Opt. Soc. Am....
This work combines digital holography with spatial filtering at two wavelengths to record the hologram and light-scattering pattern for a single particle using color sensor. Particles 30-100 μm in size various shapes are considered. The results demonstrate ability unambiguously associate complicated scattering size, shape, orientation.

Small particles that are trapped, deposited, or otherwise fixed can be imaged by digital holography with a resolution approaching of optical microscopy. When such in motion as an aerosol, comparable is challenging to achieve. Using simplified bi-telecentric lens system, we demonstrate 1µm free-flowing aerosol at the single-particle level using in-line holography. The imaging demonstrated polystyrene latex microspheres and ragweed pollen aerosol.
An alternative to using the traditional scattering angle θ describe light from a uniform dielectric sphere is dimensionless parameter qR, where R radius of sphere, q = 2k sin(θ/2), and k wavenumber incident light. Simple patterns appear in scattered intensity if qR used place θ. These are characterized by envelopes approximating distributions quantified phase-shift ρ 2kR | m − 1 |, real refractive index sphere. Here we find new these when normalized Rayleigh differential cross section. Mie...

Thermal-to-electrical energy conversion was demonstrated using an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) filled with ferrofluid and equipped annular-type solenoid. The OHP subjected to a 100 °C axial temperature difference allowing the passively oscillate through solenoid, thus accomplishing electromagnetic induction. measured solenoid voltage consisted of aperiodic pulses dominant frequencies between 2 5 Hz peak-to-peak amplitudes approaching 1 mV.

The authors demonstrate a method for transverse writing of optical waveguides in crystalline silicon wafer using nanosecond laser with shaped beam profile that is formed by pair cylindrical lenses. In contrast to traditional methods, this avoids forming asymmetric waveguide profiles. Both straight and curved are written nearly circular guide found support single-mode propagation 1550 nm wavelength light. loss also measured.
We demonstrate, for the first time, direct writing of curved optical waveguides in monocrystalline silicon with curve radii from 2 mm to 6 cm. The bending loss is measured and a good agreement theoretical values found. Raman spectroscopy measurements suggest formation inhomogeneous amorphous polycrystalline phases laser-modified region. This laser-writing method may advance fabrication capabilities integrated 3D photonic devices.
