fiber layer (RNFL) thickness can be measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser polarimetry (SLP). Recently, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SOCT) has been introduced in glaucoma diagnosis as a more accurate measurement technique for the study of retinal layers

Differential terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) is a technique for decreas-ing noise levels in THz thin film characterization experiments. Characterizing thin films in the GHz to THz range is critical for the development of fast integrated circuits and photonic systems

as an alternative to traditional X-ray mammography. While this may eventually be a very effective screening method, other optical techniques are better suited for imaging on the cellular and molecular scale. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), for instance, is capable of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging

A technique that combines scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and scanning optical microscopy (OM) was developed. Simultaneous scanning electrochemical/optical microscopy (SECM/OM) was performed by a special probe tip, which consists of an optical fiber core for light passage, surrounded

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide a highly control-lable environment for the clean experimental realization of various model Hamiltonians from condensed matter and statistical physics. For example, the two-component Bose-Hubbard model, which re-duces to an anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg

for increasing repulsive interactions pro-vides strong evidence for a phase transition to a ferromagnetic state. Our observations imply that itinerant ferromagnetism of delocalized fermions is possible without lattice and band structure, and our data validate the most basic model for ferromagnetism introduced

problems (investigation into biological cells, dust mites, layered samples etc.) it is desirable to attain to a spatial resolution of a few microns, still using polycapillary optics with their advantages, including the high radiation transmission ratio and compactness.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD OCT) as a noninvasive tool for retinal imaging in the Rs1h-knockout mouse (model for X-linked juvenile retinoschisis). METHODS. A prototype spectrometer-based FD OCT system was used in combination

of optic nerve head (ONH) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) damage and detection of progression remains the core of glaucoma management. So far, such evaluation has predominantly been subjective and fraught with high intra-and interobserver variability. 1 With the emergence of newer
