Computer simulation of diffractive imaging lenses using hyperspectral images by S.I. Kharitonov, V.A. Fursov

“…Thanks to the large number of spectral components, a fairly accurate reproduction of the effects associated with the dependence of the refractive index on the wavelength is ensured. To compare input and output images in terms of PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio), standard three-component RGB images are "assembled" using standard matching functions over the entire optical range. …”

A Comparative Interaction between Copper Ions with Alzheimer's β Amyloid Peptide and Human Serum Albumin by G. Rezaei Behbehani, L. Barzegar, M. Mohebbian, A. A. Saboury

“…Complexes between Aβ(1–16) and copper ions have been proposed to be an aberrant interaction in the development of Alzheimer's disease, where Cu2+ is involved in Aβ(1–16) aggregation. The indexes of stability indicate that HSA removed Cu2+ from Aβ(1–16), rapidly, decreased Cu-induced aggregation of Aβ(1–16), and reduced the toxicity of Aβ(1–16) + Cu2+ significantly.…”

Inverse design of high-NA metalens for maskless lithography by Chung Haejun, Zhang Feng, Li Hao, Miller Owen D., Smith Henry I.

“…Then, we demonstrate a fabrication-compatible inverse-designed metalens with 85.50% transmission normalized focusing efficiency at 0.6 numerical aperture at 405 nm wavelength; a higher efficiency than a theoretical gradient index lens design (79.98%). We also demonstrate experimental validation for our axisymmetric inverse-designed metalens via electron beam lithography. …”
