A middle infrared hyperspectral imaging based on diffraction grating and metalens by Gong, Tu

“…The diffraction grating style is improved from blazed grating by changing the ladder or cylindrical surfaces to several bars. This design can simplify the fabrication process and hence reduce the cost. 0.457 is the highest transmission achieved for germanium material when the period is 2.82 μm and the height is 1.36 μm. …”

Hybrid machining of structural ceramics by Choon, Yee King.

“…For alcohol-thin-film-assisted etching, a 10 fold increase in material removal rate compared to water and KOH is observed, with depth of texture ranged from 100 to 330 µm. Explosive melt expulsion could be the dominant material removal mechanism, which enhanced the etching efficiency in water and KOH according to the observed cavities on the etched surface. …”
