Light wavefront engineering represents a valuable tool to control the electric field intensity distribution at the sample volume by modulating the phase and/or the amplitude of the light wavefront in a conjugated space. For imaging purposes, this approach has been traditionally adopted on one side to compensate for optical aberrations due to the sample or the medium so as to improve either...
The ability to generate different structured beams in a compact optical path by controlling the input polarization has been a challenge of the last few years in the optics and photonics field. In this regard, we propose designing, fabricating, and characterising new dielectric dual-functional metaoptics that generate 3D orbital angular momentum beams or vector beams along custom-define...
The use of adaptive optics (AO) in biological imaging has emerged as an important technique for overcoming the inherent optical aberrations present in biological specimens. We will provide an overview of the principles, applications, and recent advancements in AO technology within the realm of biological imaging. We will discuss the implementation of AO in various imaging modalities,...
