Developing a cost-effective, compact, and easy-to-use optical coherence tomography (OCT) platform based on smartphones for personal care and point-of-care (POC) diagnostics can enable rapid and accurate diagnosis with ...

Laser scribing of thin glass has proven problematic due to inefficient optical absorption and difficulty achieving economical processing speeds while maintaining edge quality. Laser processing of glass is pertinent to touch ...

Pulsars are enigmatic neutron stars which have defied efforts to understand them for over 40 years. POREC (Pulsar Optical Reverse Engineering Code) was first written to constrain pulsar emission theories through constraining ...

In the recent past, there has been an accelerated development in medical modalities for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Tissue conservation of neighbouring healthy tissue and development of a minimally/non-invasive ...

Microlens-array-based light-field cameras (also known as plenoptic cameras), which are capable of recording both angular and spatial information of light, are already commercially available as consumer commodities. Due to ...

The work presented in this thesis describes the development and applications of optical imaging techniques, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging, for the purpose of diagnosing and treating ...

This thesis is a study on the optical properties of the human eye; specifically, optical modelling of the human lens with accommodation and ageing. The idiosyncratic nature of the human eye provides a hindrance to modelling ...
