Dg10 220 md

Manufactured by Thorlabs
Sourced in Germany

The DG10-220-MD is a motorized variable attenuator that can be used to control the optical power in a beam path. It consists of a broadband, achromatic, continuous variable optical density filter that is mounted on a motorized rotation stage. The device can be controlled either manually via the knob on the front panel or remotely via a computer interface.

Incoherent Illumination Optical Encryption

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The complete experimental set-up is presented in Fig. 3. A halogen source combined with a band pass filter (central wavelength λ = 550 nm) was introduced as a spatially incoherent illumination source. A rotating diffuser and a tube lens are placed before the input plane to ensure the beam to be totally incoherent and collimated. The focal length of the imaging lens is f = 150 mm and z1 = z2 = 2f, d ≈ 2f. The plaintext image is loaded on a SLM (Holoeye, LC2002) which was placed at the input plane and worked at the amplitude modulation mode. The RPM was a 220 grit-ground-glass diffuser (Thorlabs, DG10-220-MD). A high-resolution CMOS camera (Photonfocus, MV1-D2048-96-G2-10, resolution: 2048 × 2048 px, pixel size: 5.5 μm × 5.5 μm, active optical area: 11.26 mm × 11.26 mm) was placed at the output plane to capture the ciphertext (speckle pattern).

Multispectral SWIR Fluorescence Imaging

A multispectral SWIR fluorescence imaging system was designed and constructed (Fig. 2). Briefly, tissue is illuminated by a 785-nm fiber-coupled laser (BWF-1-785/55371, B&W Tek) dispersed onto the sample using a ground glass diffuser (DG10-220-MD, Thorlabs, Germany). SWIR fluorescence emission from the sample is collected by a highly sensitive InGaAs camera [ QE>80% 950 to 1600 nm, NIRvana 640, Teledyne Princeton Instruments Fig. 2(b)] coupled to a SWIR lens ( f=16  mm , F/1.4, Navitar, Canada). Fluorescence light is sequentially filtered using a six-position filter wheel (LTFW6, Thorlabs, Germany) through six long-pass filters with cut-off wavelengths of 850, 950, 1050, 1150, 1250, and 1350 nm [FELH series, Thorlabs, Germany, Fig. 2(b)]. The system was mounted inside a light-tight enclosure to remove background light. The camera was cooled to 80°C to reduce thermal noise.

Novel Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A novel system was designed and constructed (Fig. 1). Briefly, tissue is illuminated by a 785-nm fiber-coupled laser (BWF-1–785/55371, B&W Tek) dispersed onto the sample using a ground glass diffuser (DG10–220-MD, Thorlabs). SWIR fluorescence emission from the sample is collected by a highly sensitive InGaAs camera (QE > 80% 950–1,600 nm, NIRvana 640, Teledyne Princeton Instruments) coupled to a SWIR lens (f = 16 mm, F/1.4, Navitar). Fluorescence light is sequentially filtered using a 6-position filter wheel (LTFW6, Thorlabs) through 6 long-pass filters with cut-off wavelengths of 850, 950, 1,050, 1,150, 1,250, and 1,350 nm (FELH series, Thorlabs). The system was mounted inside a light-tight enclosure to remove background light. The camera was cooled to −80°C to reduce thermal noise. Images were captured using LightField (Teledyne Princeton Instruments) and saved as 16-bit TIFs for analysis.

Laser Speckle Imaging with Dynamic Diffuser

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A He-Ne laser beam was expanded and passed through a spinning diffuser to reduce its spatial coherence. The resulting divergent beam was used to illuminate a moving scene generated on a DMD (or a reflecting sample, see Supplementary Information: S3 and Supplementary Video 6). The reflected light passed through a 220-grit ground glass diffuser (DG10-220-MD, Thorlabs), and the resulting speckle-like intensity pattern was collected lenslessly by a CMOS camera with an exposure time of 3 s. To obtain the results in Fig. 3, the scattering layer was changed into two layers of adhesive sellotape, in order to reduce the memory effect range, while keeping a comparable transmission. See Supplementary Information: S2 for further details.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
