PHASE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OSCILLATING MIRROR
The present invention discloses a phase alignment system and method of oscillating mirror. The present invention utilizes the reciprocating scanning symmetry feature of the simple harmonic oscillation motion of the oscillating mirror to construct scanning pattern data with complementary pixel brightness and darkness.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WAVEFRONT RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON ROTATIONALLY SYMMETRIC EXTENDED STRUCTURED LIGHT ILLUMINATION
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for wavefront reconstruction based on rotationally symmetric extended structured light illumination. The apparatus includes a laser device, a neutral density filter, a microscope objective, a pinhole, a collimating lens, a beam splitter prism, a spatial light modulator, a lens to be measured, and an image acquisition device that are sequentially arranged.

Not only the object to be measured but also the real structured light wavefront can be recovered by acquiring diffraction spots at the focal plane and simultaneously updating the object plane and the structured light plane using an algorithm
Method and Device for Detecting Absolute or Relative Temperature and/or Absolute or Relative Wavelength
The invention relates to a method for detecting the absolute temperature or temperature changes and/or the absolute wavelength or wavelength changes of an optical probe signal using an optical detection device including an optical waveguide structure defining an optical input port adapted to receive the optical probe signal and a first and a second optical output port adapted to output a first and a second optical detection signal, respectively.

The method includes the steps of transmitting the optical probe signal having a predetermined, but not necessarily constant, wavelength to the optical input port; detecting the first and second optical detection signal at the first and second optical output port by means of a first a and second opto-electrical converter which create a first and second electrical signal corresponding to the optical power of the respective first or second optical detection signal; measuring values of the first and second electrical signal and determining an absolute temperature value or a value of a temperature change of the optical waveguide structure and/or an absolute wavelength value or a value of a wavelength change of the optical probe signal by using the values measured of the first and second electrical signal and a first and a second previously determined wavelength and temperature dependency of both the first and second power transfer function. The invention further relates to an optical detection device for implementing this method.
