Bringing angular momentum to holograms and metasurfaces
Holography, invented by Gabor, provides an approach for recording and reconstructing the complete information (i.e. intensity and phase) of the light from an object. Since its invention, holographic-related technologies have been widely applied in nu.....»»
A robust phase extraction method for overcoming spectrum overlapping in shearography
In the same way as the traditional optical interference technique, shearography obtains object deformation information by obtaining the phase, and the measured object is often dynamic in practical applications, so the spatial carrier method, which ca.....»»
Scientists offer "non-alien explanation" for interstellar visitor
When the first object ever known to have visited the Earth's Solar System from outer space zoomed past in 2017, it was so strange that at least one leading astronomer was convinced it was an alien vessel......»»
