OSC Colloquium: David Brady, "Neural Processing and Snapshot Compressive Imaging" Sept. 22, 2021 David Brady This talk reviews diverse compressive tomographic imaging systems and explains evolving sampling system and algorithm designs for such systems. Read more OSC Colloquium: Brandon Chalifoux, "Fabrication, Alignment and Testing of Ultralight Mirrors..." Sept. 8, 2021 Brandon Chalifoux I will present an optical design form for diffraction-limited X-ray telescopes that could in principle enable micro-arcsecond angular resolution without deployable optics, albeit with a detector flying in formation. I will enumerate the opto-mechanical tolerances that would be required for such an optical assembly, and our research activities to address key challenges with mirror figuring, alignment, and testing of these thin acylindrical optical surfaces. I will present recent experimental results from our lab that demonstrate two techniques critical to this effort. Read more OSC Colloquium: Richard Youngworth colloquium, "What All Optical Scientists Should Know..." Sept. 8, 2021 Richard Youngworth Our approach will be a fast-paced and entertaining look at multiple facets of standards: their history, how and why standards are applied, the organization of relevant standards groups, the process of developing standards, the future of standards, and how you can get involved and become one of the critical workers helping to develop optics standards. The talk is a great opportunity to gain exposure to this broad and important career topic. Read more Pagination « First First page ‹ Previous Previous page … 1 2 …
