We fabricate asymmetric gratings, which have the ratio between the opening window and period or the opening fraction, f<0.5. The gratings were fabricated by using CNC milling machine to engrave a pattern on transparent acrylic sheets.The characterization of the gratings is performed with the optical Talbot effect. The results of the Talbot pattern, as well as the intensity along the...
The aim of this study is to design and develop an alternative in-shoe foot plantar pressure measurement based on an optical fiber sensor. The foot plantar pressure distributions from human feet is considered to be important and essential information required by clinicians to plan a proper management on some foot problems of diabetic patients. Advantages of using the optical fiber include the...
In this work, a set of couple-mode equations for describing a backward third harmonic generation (BTHG) in a one-dimensional periodic structure of positive-index material (PIM) layers and third-order nonlinear negative-index material (NIM) layers is analyzed using multiple-scale method. Due to the negative-index phase matching and band-edge field enhancement the intensities of backward...
PbS quantum dots (QDs) have been received attention as a photosensitizer for quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) due to their narrow band gaps, quantum size effect, and multiple exciton generation (MEG). In this work, we prepared PbS QDSSCs by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method (SILAR) with PbS QDs deposited onto titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$), then the PbS QDs have been...
Optical vortex is a mode of light whose phase distribution varies as exp(il$\phi$), where m is called the topological charge of the vortex and $\phi$ is an azimuthal angle in the plane perpendicular to the propagating direction. The vortex beam of charge l carries an orbital angular momentum of lℏ and has its application in manipulating micrometer-sized particles. A common method to detect...
The quartz tuning forks (QTF) is a high quality factor (Q-factor) mechanical resonator and therefore high sensitivity to the surrounding environment. Owing to the piezoelectricity of the quartz, the compact driving system can be achieved by attached electrodes on the QTF. Therefore the QTF, attached with a sharp optical fiber or tungstein tip, is widely utillized as a shear force sensing...
