Generalized vibration curves for apodization and super-resolution in far-field diffraction
Lowell T. Wood
The Cornu spiral, widely used to analyze Fresnel diffraction, is a familiar example of a vibration curve, also known as an amplitude-phase curve or phasor diagram. A related constr…
Imaging in Reflecting Spheres
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Gemunu H. Gunaratne, Jason Shulman +1
We study the formation of images in a reflective sphere in three configurations using caustics of the field of light rays. The optical wavefront emerging from a source point reachi…
Advanced Optics Experiments Using Nonuniform Aperture Functions
Lowell T. Wood
A method to create instructive, nonuniform aperture functions using spatial frequency filtering is described. The diffraction from a single slit in the Fresnel limit and the interf…
Observations of magnetic field induced contraction of fission yeast cells using optical projection microscopy
Xi Yang, Andrew Beckwith
The charges in live cells interact with or produce electric fields, which results in enormous dielectric responses, flexoelectricity, and related phenomena. Here we report on a con…
