Abstract:The image quality and collimation in a multiple-optical-axis pattern-integrated interference lithography system are evaluated for an elementary optical system composed of single-element lenses. Image quality and collimation are individually and jointly optimized for these lenses. Example images for a jointly optimized system are simulated using a combination of ray tracing and Fourier analysis. Even with these nonoptimized components, reasonable fidelity is shown to be possible.
“…The approach of multiple beam interference is a handy and effective method in forming sundry periodic intensity patterns as well as lattice intensity patterns with defects [18][19][20]. The great majority of optically induced photonic lattices are formed use the multiple beam interference.…”

“…Along the lines of measurements of isotope identification, developments of new scintillator material combined with spectroscopy are presented for use in the radiation scanners for increased throughput as compared with current techniques [3]. The other papers present simulations and models of imaging systems with partially coherent light and phase reconstruction techniques, or through multiple optical axis pattern integrated inference exposure systems [4]. The authors present the systems and unique approaches to analysis and design.…”
Applied Optics is launching new focus issues to highlight optics research at institutes, including government labs, universities, and industries. The following highlights research taking place at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).
The alignment of components in complex multibeam arrangements is typically prone to errors that limit the performance of the system. A systematic procedure for aligning such systems is presented here. The method facilitates the precision alignment of the optical elements to achieve the accurate projection of multiple on- and off-axis images and the simultaneous interference of the multiple beams. In addition to the multibeam imaging/interference system presented, the procedure can be employed in other multibeam imaging and/or interfering configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
