In this study, we propose a novel approach for dynamic micro-vibration measurement based on an interferometric system utilizing a fractional optical vortex (FOV) beam as the reference and a Gaussian beam as the measurement path. The reflected Gaussian beam encodes the vibration information of the ta...

The concept of space–time duality in optics was originally based on the mathematical connection between the diffraction of beams in space and the dispersion of pulses in time. This concept has been extended in recent years from the temporal analog of reflection for optical pulses to photonic time cr...

Stellar radiation simulation is critical in the space industry; however, with the current simulation methods, only a single color temperature and magnitude can be modulated at a time. Furthermore, star sensors rely on star observation tests for accurate calibration; this seriously restricts their de...

Spectrally selective emitters (SSEs) have attracted considerable attention, because of radiative cooling, which could dissipate the heat from earth to outer space through the atmospheric window without any energy input. Intrinsically inorganic SSEs have significant advantages to other SSEs, such as...

To obtain a flat top shaped passband in a conventional thin-film-based optical bandpass filter (OBF), it needs a large number of constitutional layers of thin films, which makes the film deposition systems more complicated and accumulates errors in film growth. A flat top and polarization-independen...
