A novel optical detection system for chromatography applications
In this work we describe the design of a confocal microscope based optical system which can be used for two types of miniaturized fluid-chromatographic experiments: first of all for the study of shear...
AFM benchmark for the profile characterisation of subwavelength diffractive elements within the EC Network of Excellence on Micro-Optics (NEMO)
The round robin "measurement of subwavelength diffractive elements" tackles the metrology problems related to the measurement of diffraction gratings by AFM. It aims at quantifying the absolute precis...

Arrayof fundamental Gaussian beams located on the surface of ahyperboloid of revolution forms a regular net of optical vorticeswhereas a resulting field represents a singular Bessel-Gaussian beam. Atotal topological charge of the beam is defined by aphase matching in the beam's array. Such simple key inferenceswere drawn from our theoretical analysis of light scattering witha stack of optical wedges. We experimentally found out thata Gaussian beam diffracted by a system of dielectrical wedgescarried over central-positioned optical vortex, whose topological charge was equalto a number of wedges in the stack.
