Abstract = {Modern Optics is a fundamental study of the principles of
optics using a rigorous physical approach based on Maxwell's
Equations. The treatment provides the mathematical
foundations needed to understand a number of applications
such as laser optics, fiber optics and medical imaging
covered in an engineering curriculum as well as the
traditional topics covered in a physics based course in
optics. In addition to treating the fundamentals in optical
science, the student is given an exposure to actual optics
engineering problems such as paraxial matrix optics,
aberrations with experimental examples, Fourier transform
optics (Fresnel-Kirchhoff formulation), Gaussian waves, thin
films, photonic crystals, surface plasmons, and fiber
optics. Through its many pictures, figures, and diagrams,
the text provides a good physical insight into the topics
covered. The course content can be modified to reflect the
interests of the instructor as well as the student, through
the selection of optional material provided in
appendixes.},

Abstract = {This paper presents a novel biometric system for real-time
walker recognition using a pyroelectric infrared sensor, a
Fresnel lens array and signal processing based on the linear
regression of sensor signal spectra. In the model training
stage, the maximum likelihood principal components
estimation (MLPCE) method is utilized to obtain the
regression vector for each registered human subject.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are also
investigated to select a suitable threshold for maximizing
subject recognition rate. The experimental results
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed pyroelectric
sensor system in recognizing registered subjects and
rejecting unknown subjects. © 2007 Optical Society of

Abstract = {In this paper, the design of a high signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) tunable filter using a single crystal photorefractive
(PR) fiber is given. Because of the long physical structure,
Bragg gratings of a large number of periods can be
synthesized within the fiber. The wavelength selectivity of
105 order can be realized, which is suitable to develop a
narrow-band filter in the order of 0.01 nm. By using a
multiple grating structure in the fiber, a high SNR of about
40 db is achievable in practice. Since the PR fiber has a
high electro-optic constant, the refractive index of the
fiber can be varied by an applied electric field, for which
the tuning speed can be in the ns range},

Abstract = {This paper systematically reviews 10 years of research that
several Army Laboratories conducted in object recognition
algorithms, processors, and evaluation techniques. In the
military, object recognition is applied to the
discrimination of military targets, ranging from human-aided
to autonomous operations, and is called Automatic Target
Recognition (ATR). The research described here has been
concentrated in human-aided target recognition applications,
but some attention has been paid to automatic processes.
Definitions and performance metrics that have been developed
are described along with performance data showing the
present state-of-the-art. The effects of signal-to-noise and
clutter parameters are indicated in the data. Multisensor
fusion and model-based algorithms are discussed as the
latest techniques under consideration by the military
research community. The results demonstrate that useful
performance can be achieved, and tools are evolving to
understand and improve the performance under real-world
conditions. The referenced research strongly indicates the
need for the development of image science, as described in
the paper, to support the theoretical underpinnings of
ATR.},

Abstract = {The fundamental holographic properties of Polaroid's DMP-128
have been measured. Diffraction efficiencies over 90% have
been obtained with an index modulation of 0.033. It was
found that the diffraction efficiency could be reduced from
90% to less than 10% by the use of an index matching fluid.
When the index matching fluid was allowed to evaporate, the
diffraction efficiency returned to its original value. This
observation suggests that the index modulation produced in
the photopolymer is due to tiny cracks or voids formed in
the polymer},

glass-transition temperatures, T<sub>g</sub>. Now attention
has turned to understanding and improving response-times. A
composite with a 4-ms component has been reported recently,
with persuasive evidence that photoconductivity limits
speed. We report an even faster 1.8-ms component in a very

Title = {Coded-aperture Raman imaging for standoff explosive
detection},
Journal = {Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical
Engineering},
Volume = {8358},
Year = {2012},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.919292},
Abstract = {This paper describes the design of a deep-UV Raman imaging
spectrometer operating with an excitation wavelength of 228
nm. The designed system will provide the ability to detect
explosives (both traditional military explosives and
home-made explosives) from standoff distances of 1-10 meters
with an interrogation area of 1 mm x 1 mm to 200 mm x 200
mm. This excitation wavelength provides resonant enhancement
of many common explosives, no background fluorescence, and
an enhanced cross-section due to the inverse wavelength
scaling of Raman scattering. A coded-aperture spectrograph
combined with compressive imaging algorithms will allow for
wide-area interrogation with fast acquisition rates.
Coded-aperture spectral imaging exploits the compressibility
of hyperspectral data-cubes to greatly reduce the amount of
acquired data needed to interrogate an area. The resultant
systems are able to cover wider areas much faster than
traditional push-broom and tunable filter systems. The full
system design will be presented along with initial data from
the instrument. Estimates for area scanning rates and
chemical sensitivity will be presented. The system
components include a solid-state deep-UV laser operating at
228 nm, a spectrograph consisting of well-corrected
refractive imaging optics and a reflective grating, an
intensified solar-blind CCD camera, and a high-efficiency
collection optic. © 2012 SPIE.},

Abstract = {A hologram can act as a matched spatial filter, i.e. as a

wavefront stored in the hologram and the incident wavefront

one of the modes of an open optical resonator, it can
discriminate against all the other orthogonal modes. Theory
and experimental results for matched spatial filters for the
modes of a spherical Fabry-Perot interferometer (SFP1) are
described. Effects of matched filtering of scanning SFP1 are
shown. Experimental cross-correlation and autocorrelation
functions for circularly symmetric and for rectangular modes

correlation between many of these modes was obtained

between various modes was demonstrated and used in order to
discriminate against all orthogonal modes. A discrimination
function that predicts the performance of the
matched-filtering process is defined and analytically
evaluated for rectangular and cylindrical Gaussian modes. It
is shown that arbitrary discrimination strength can be
obtained at the sacrifice of output signal strength. It was
experimentally demonstrated that a scanning FPSI used in
conjunction with only one zero-order-mode filter could be
used over nearly its entire domain of stable cavity spacings
and still maintain a full (c/2L) free spectral

Abstract = {With the objective of monitoring motion within a room, we
segment the two-dimensional (2D) floor space into discrete
cells and encode each cell with a binary code word generated
by a fiber. We design a set of k-neighbor-local codes to
localize an extended object and, particularly when k = 2,
employ a 2D gray code to localize a human by tracking his or
her footsteps. Methods for implementing the codes in a fiber
web are discussed, and we demonstrate the experimental
result with the fiber mat. The observed system performance
confirms the theoretical analysis. The space coding
technique is a promising low-cost candidate not only for
human tracking but also for other applications such as human
gait analysis.},

orientation of the sensors is used to track targets as they
move through the space. This system has demonstrated

of filling voids in the processed photopolymer for device

Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: Early compartment syndrome is difficult to
diagnose, and a delay in the diagnosis can result in
amputation or death. Our objective was to explore the
potential of infrared imaging, a portable and noninvasive
technology, for detecting compartment syndrome in the legs
of patients with multiple trauma. We hypothesized that
development of compartment syndrome is associated with a
reduction in surface temperature in the involved leg and
that the temperature reduction can be detected by infrared
imaging. DESIGN: Observational clinical study. SETTING:
Level I trauma center between July 2006 and July 2007.
PATIENTS: Trauma patients presenting to the emergency
department. INTERVENTIONS: Average temperature of the
anterior surface of the proximal and distal region of each
leg was measured in the emergency department with a
radiometrically calibrated, 320 x 240, uncooled
microbolometer infrared camera. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
RESULTS: The difference in surface temperature between the
thigh and foot regions (thigh-foot index) of the legs in
trauma patients was determined by investigators blinded to
injury pattern using thermographic image analysis software.
The diagnosis of compartment syndrome was made
intraoperatively. Thermographic images from 164 patients
were analyzed. Eleven patients developed compartment
syndrome, and four of those patients had bilateral
compartment syndrome. Legs that developed compartment
syndrome had a greater difference in proximal vs. distal
surface temperature (8.80 +/- 2.05 degrees C) vs. legs
without compartment syndrome (1.22 +/- 0.88 degrees C)
(analysis of variance p < .01). Patients who developed
unilateral compartment syndrome had a greater proximal vs.
distal temperature difference in the leg with (8.57 +/- 2.37
degrees C) vs. the contralateral leg without (1.80 +/- 1.60
degrees C) development of compartment syndrome (analysis of
variance p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Infrared imaging detected a
difference in surface temperature between the proximal and
distal leg of patients who developed compartment syndrome.
This technology holds promise as a supportive tool for the
early detection of acute compartment syndrome in trauma
patients.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we propose a novel high SNR tunable filter
using a photorefractive single crystal fiber with multiple
holographic gratings. Since the single crystal fiber which
is grown by the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG)
technique can be more than 100 mm long, volume gratings with
extremely large number of period can be obtained in the
fiber. Thus, the wavelength selectivity of the grating can
be very high on the order of 105 so that one can achieve
very narrow band filter (<0.01 nm). To increase the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the filter, a method of using
multiple holographic gratings is proposed. The SNR can be
improved by more than 100 times as compared with a
conventional volume grating filter. Finally, the
electro-optic effect can be used to change the refractive
index of the crystal fiber, which in turn changes the
wavelength response of the stored volume grating. Since the
response time of the electro-optic effect is on the order of
1 ns, one can very rapidly tune the central-wavelength of
the filter},

spectrum was found to consist of one branch, independent of
the position of H0, and three other branches which coincide
in frequency with the angle independent branch at 60°
periods and move to lower frequencies at other positions of
H0. These branches correspond to resonance in
antiferromagnetic T-domains ordered along the four

Abstract = {Efficient photorefractive polymers hold great potential for
optical data processing and storage and so have been a topic
of intense investigations in recent years. Materials with
nearly 100% diffraction efficiencies have been developed,
but these have been generally characterized by much slower
responses than their less efficient inorganic counterparts.
In this report, we describe a 4-ms initial rise-time using a
visible-transparent chromophore in a PVK-based polymer of Tg
= 39°C for 48-V/µm bias projected along the
grating vector and 250-m W/cm2 writing beams. This fast
component consistently accounts for 90% of the steady-state
response and is analyzed as a function of bias field. We
also present transient ellipsometry measurements of an
orientational response significantly faster than the grating
development, suggesting that chromophore alignment speed
does not limit transient grating formation. We describe the
role of such underlying property measurements in
understanding photorefractive transient behavior, and
prospects for further improvements.},

investigated and the experimental results suggest that the
lens array with more elements can yield a better performance
in terms of identification and false alarm rates. The other
parameters of the system configuration such as the height of
sensor location and sensor-to-object distance were also
studied to improve spectral distinctions among sensory data
of human objects. The identification process consists of two
parts: training and testing. For the data training, we
employed a principal components regression (PCR) method to
cluster data with respect to different registered objects at
different speed levels. The feature data of different
objects walking along the same path in training yet at
random speeds are then tested against the pre-trained
clusters to decide whether the target is registered, and
which member of the registered group it is. © 2006 Optical

Abstract = {Because of the proposed number of units expected to utilize
millimeter/submillimeter waves in the military (on the scale
of 50000 items/system) it is vital to develop the technology
base such that it will economically support the manufacture
of millimeter wave systems. The technology which holds the
greatest potential to meet the military requirements above
100 GHz will probably be based upon dielectric waveguides.
That technology must be developed so that low cost,
reproducible millimeter/submillimeter wave integrated
circuits will be available},

using a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) detector array and
hidden Markov models (HMMs). A PIR detector array with
masked Fresnel lens arrays is used to generate digital
sequential data that can represent a human motion feature.
HMMs are trained to statistically model the motion features
of individuals through an expectation-maximization (EM)
learning process. Human subjects are recognized by
evaluating a set of new feature data against the trained
HMMs using the maximum-likelihood (ML) criterion. We have
developed a prototype system to verify the proposed method.
Sensor modules with different numbers of detectors and
different sampling masks were tested to maximize the
identification capability of the sensor system. © 2006

a human-portable energy source is discussed. The design of
thermoelectric generators is not considered. Instead
desirable characteristics of the radioisotope are used to
search for reasonable candidates with a half-life measured
in weeks and generating radiation that could easily be
shielded. Because radioisotopes with short half-lives would
have limited shelf-lives, a search was undertaken to
discover if isomers with different decay paths existed with
characteristics that would lead to a useful energy generator
design. The results indicate several interesting cases for
energy storage in radioactive isotopes. Two of the most
interesting cases uncovered were <sup>121</sup>Te and
<sup>254</sup>Es. However, intermediate levels that could be
used to connect the various nuclear energy levels are not
currently known. Measurements of transition rates that can
be stimulated between the desired levels are also needed to
determine the practicality of this concept. Such research is
now possible using the intense gamma beam that can be
produced using free-electron laser light backscattered from
relativistic electrons.},

femtosecond-demodulation sources are reported and compared
to theory. Because these sources operate at very high
harmonics ( [similar to] 10<sup>2</sup> - 10<sup>4</sup>) of
the mode-lock frequency, a high spectral purity source is
very dependent on a low-jitter femtosecond laser.
Conversely, the spectral content of the terahertz sources
provides detailed information about timing jitter and
stringent tests of models used to describe the jitter. We
find that both the behavior of the central core, and the
noise skirts of the power spectrum of our sources, can be
quantitatively related to measured ripple and continuum
amplitude noise on the Ar<sup>+</sup> pump laser by use of
modulation theory.},

Abstract = {Three dimensional grid phantoms offer a number of advantages
for measuring imaging related spatial inaccuracies for image
guided surgery and radiotherapy. The authors examined the
use of rapid prototyping technology for directly fabricating
3D grid phantoms from CAD drawings. We tested three
different fabrication process materials, photopolymer jet
with acrylic resin (PJ/AR), selective laser sintering with
polyamide (SLS/P), and fused deposition modeling with
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (FDM/ABS). The test objects
consisted of rectangular arrays of control points formed by
the intersections of posts and struts (2 mm rectangular
cross section) and spaced 8 mm apart in the x, y, and z
directions. The PJ/AR phantom expanded after immersion in
water which resulted in permanent warping of the structure.
The surface of the FDM/ABS grid exhibited a regular pattern
of depressions and ridges from the extrusion process. SLS/P
showed the best combination of build accuracy, surface
finish, and stability. Based on these findings, a grid
phantom for assessing machine-dependent and frame-induced MR
spatial distortions was fabricated to be used for quality
assurance in stereotactic neurosurgical and radiotherapy
procedures. The spatial uniformity of the SLS/P grid control
point array was determined by CT imaging (0.6 x 0.6 x 0.625
mm3 resolution) and found suitable for the application, with
over 97.5% of the control points located within 0.3 mm of
the position specified in CAD drawing and none of the points
off by more than 0.4 mm. Rapid prototyping is a flexible and
cost effective alternative for development of customized
grid phantoms for medical physics quality
assurance.},

Abstract = {INTRODUCTION: Infrared thermal imaging, or thermography, is
a technique used to measure body surface temperature in the
study of thermoregulation. Researchers are beginning to use
this novel methodology to study cancer, peripheral vascular

the feasibility of using an FLIR SC640 uncooled, infrared
camera to measure body temperature in neonates housed in
heated, humid incubators. The authors examined thermograms
to analyze distributions between central and peripheral body
temperature in extremely low birth weight infants. The
authors have also used this technology to examine the
relationship between body temperature and development of
necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants. RESULTS:
Handheld, uncooled, infrared cameras are easy to use and
produce high-quality thermograms that can be visualized in
grayscale or color palettes to enhance qualitative and
quantitative analyses. CONCLUSION: Future research will
benefit from the use of this noninvasive, inexpensive
measurement tool. Nurse researchers can use this methodology
in adult and infant populations to study temperature
differentials present in pathological conditions.},

Abstract = {Mid-infrared laser reflectances of soils containing specific
minerals show diagnostic features in the 9-11 μm
wavelength range, resulting in their suitability for remote
sensing of terrestrial lithology. However, the presence of
actively growing vegetation can obscure these diagnostic
features, in some cases almost completely, so as to make
mineral identification virtually impossible. An experimental
study was carried out to determine the effects of growing
grass on the mid-infrared laser reflectance of bare soil in
order to determine the conditions under which the underlying
soil reflectance loses its diagnostic features, reflectance
ratios (indicative of diagnostic features) were investigated
as a function of grass-blade height for different grass
densities. It was found that, under specific soil
conditions, there appeared a grass-blade height value at
which the diagnostic ratios level off to a value of 1.0,
thereby masking the underlying soil features. These results
are expected to be useful for identifying optimal conditions
under which soil mineralogy can be identified under
overlying vegetation},
