The low gain threshold, optical losses, plastic nature, flexibility, and stability of these UV-emitting fibers make them interesting for building light-emitting devices and microlasers.
An IR high-pass filter (Optical cast plastic IR long-pass filter, Edmund Optics Worldwide, Barrington, NJ, USA) was placed between the camera and the lens to block visible light.
To avoid unwanted light-activation of the optogenetic actuators, we filtered the trans-illumination light using a 595 nm long-pass red optical cast plastic filter (Edmund Optics) for ChR2, and a 705 nm long-pass colored glass filter (Thorlabs) for NpHR.
Embryos developed in this modified system with comparable efficiencies to our earlier study (Morris et al., 2012a), but their development was more easily recorded by confocal microscopy, as they were grown on optical-grade plastic.
Molding process simulation with optimization methodology is utilized to improve the stability and accuracy of the reference plane at micron level precision in a plastic optical housing for a CD optical pickup.
One is plastic optical fibers (POF), where the loss in optical power is generated by local deformation of POF due to transverse cracking.
This intensity-based plastic optical fibre (POF) sensor was fabricated by connecting two cleaved optical fibres into a capillary tube and inserting some in-filling into the tube to improve the sensitivity of the sensor.
This study introduces a novel method for conveniently and rapidly indicating the anatomical location of CBD during LC by the direct fiber-optic illumination of 532-nm diode-pumped solid state laser through a microstructured plastic optical fiber to avoid the wrong identification of CBD and the injury from mistakenly cutting the CBD that can lead to permanent and even life threatening consequences.
Red vertical cavity lasers (VCSELs) are ideally suited as optical sources for plastic optical fibre networks.
This work proposes a novel structure of a lensed plastic optical fiber (LPOF).
