Abstract: An optical assembly includes a bulb and a lens for a laser-operated light source. The bulb has a chamber for accommodating an ionizable gas and a plasma formed by energizing the ionizable gas and has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In use, the lens is arranged to focus a wavefront of radiation from a laser to a virtual object point located inside the chamber. In use, the bulb is arranged to transmit and refract the wavefront of the radiation to a first real image point in a first cross-section of the longitudinal axis and a second real image point in a second cross-section of the transverse axis. The first real image point and the second real image point are image conjugates of the virtual object point. The virtual object point, the first real image point and the second real image point coincide.

Abstract: A reflector comprising a hollow body having an interior surface defining a passage through the hollow body, the interior surface having at least one optical surface part configured to reflect radiation and a supporter surface part, wherein the optical surface part has a predetermined optical power and the supporter surface part does not have the predetermined optical power. The reflector is made by providing an axially symmetric mandrel; shaping a part of the circumferential surface of the mandrel to form at least one inverse optical surface part that is not rotationally symmetric about the axis of the mandrel; forming a reflector body around the mandrel; and releasing the reflector body from the mandrel whereby the reflector body has an optical surface defined by the inverse optical surface part and a supporter surface part defined by the rest of the outer surface of the mandrel.

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical imaging system, and associated method, comprising a stage module configured to support an object such that an area of the object is illuminated by an illumination beam; an objective lens configured to collect at least one signal beam, the at least one signal beam originating from the illuminated area of the object; an image sensor configured to capture an image formed by the at least one signal beam collected by the objective lens; and a motion compensatory mechanism operable to compensate for relative motion of the stage module with respect to the objective lens during an image acquisition. The motion compensatory mechanism causes a compensatory motion of one or more of: said objective lens or at least one optical element thereof; said image sensor; and/or an optical element comprised within a detection branch and/or illumination branch of the optical imaging system.

Abstract: A method involving providing incident radiation of a first polarization state by an optical component into an interface of an object with an external environment, wherein a surface is provided adjacent the interface and separated by a gap from the interface, detecting, from incident radiation reflected from the interface and from the surface, radiation of a second different polarization state arising from the reflection of incident radiation of the first polarization at the interface as distinct from the radiation of the first polarization state in the reflected radiation, and producing a position signal representative of a relative position between the focus of the optical component and the object.
