Introduction An aperture refers to an opening or a hole through which light passes. Lenses, telescopes, cameras, microscopes, and fiber optic systems use optical apertures. The size and shape of the ...

Introduction Goniometer stages, as shown in the example below, are precision instruments that play a pivotal role in the realm of optics. Their primary function is to measure angles or rotate an object ...

Why Measuring Temperatures at Micro-Scale is so Difficult? Scaling temperature measurement techniques from the macro- to micro-scale proves quite difficult due to the evasiveness of temperature sensing ...

Ever wondered how quantum entanglement for medical imaging might help in cancer diagnosis? In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the spread of cancer in aging Western societies. Various ...

Introduction and motivation The manufacturing sector has paid a lot of attention lately to additive manufacturing (AM). By adding layer after layer of material, AM is one technology that creates ...

Introduction Humankind has had its eyes on the microscopic world for centuries. Jonathan Swift illustrated the fantastically tiny world of the Lilliputians in his classic novel, Gulliver’s Travels. Dr. ...

Introduction to laser powder bed fusion In this article, we discuss a novel work introduced by the researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the USA. ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...

  Have you ever considered how small something could be? What would limit how small we can make things? How precise exactly is “ultra precision”? Today we will have an introduction into ...
