Speckle contrast reduction by linear and nonlinear photonic devices
Speckle contrast <; 3.5% was achieved by means of (i) wavelength-diversity using spectrally-broad nonlinear photonic green lasers over the 520-545nm range and (ii) polarization- and phase-diversity using birefringent nano-photonic devices.
Removal of hot spot speckle on rear projection screen using the rotating screen system
This paper investigates a method to remove hot spot speckle, which is produced by laser-long coherence, on a projection screen. The objective of the work has been to first create an image from a digital light processing (DLP) display system using an RGB laser source. We then successfully obtained a high-quality image with speckle contrast, which is less than 2% when the screen was rotated by piezoelectric motor.
The effect of continuous exposure to low frequency electric fields on three generations of mice: A pilot study
Mice were allowed to mate, gestate, deliver and rear their offspring for 3 successive generations while being continuously exposed to 60 Hz electric fields. Mice exposed to vertical electric fields exhibited decreased body weights at 35 days postpartum and increased mortality, rates for 3 successive generations. Mice exposed to horizontal electric fields exhibited decreased body weights for 2 successive generations.
