There was no established literature or documentation regarding this due to the competition
for the market and confidentiality issues. This article reviews the current status of waterjet …

This book presents an in-depth look at lenses free of spherical aberrations and is provided
using illustrative examples. Mathematical principles behind lenses free of spherical …

The ability to 3D print optical elements will greatly expand the accessibility of optical
fabrication. Here, we report on two fabrication techniques for plano-convex lens files using a …

By direct numerical solution of Maxwell's equations and the semiconductor drift-diffusion
equations, we demonstrate solar-power conversion efficiencies in the 29%–30% range in …

The power conversion efficiency of single-junction silicon solar cells has increased only by
1.5% despite extensive efforts over the past two decades. The current world-record …

We demonstrate that with only 1 μm, equivalent bulk thickness, of crystalline silicon, sculpted
into the form of a slanted conical-pore photonic crystal and placed on a silver back-reflector …

We present an analysis of the shape, surface quality, and imaging capabilities of custom
three-dimensional (3-D) printed lenses. 3-D printing technology enables lens prototypes to …

Lapping has a history of hundreds of years, yet it still relies on the experience of workers. To
improve the automaticity and controllability of the lapping process, a modeling method of …

A new two-step phase-shifting fringe projection profilometry is proposed. The slowly variable
background intensity of fringe patterns is removed by the use of an intensity differential …

A novel design concept for a Shack–Hartmann sensor is presented. A liquid-filled microlens
array is used to replace the commonly used microlens array with fixed focal length in a …
