    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Dynamic focus applied for correct determination of flow speed of a biological liquid using OCT

    We present an OCT system equipped with dynamic focus. Using the Doppler optical tomography method, the velocity of an opaque fluid (milk) is determined at a depth of 2 mm with 150 μW of optical power

    Unique interpretation of Talbot Bands and Fourier domain white light interferometry

    Full text link
    A theoretical model is developed to interpret the output of the diffraction grating spectrometer used to analyze the channelled spectrum produced by a low coherence interferometer set-up. This model leads to an unique interpretation which covers both cases (i) of Talbot bands and (ii) of a Michelson interferometer used in most spectral interferometry set-ups for sensing as well as for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT). Explanation of Talbot bands visibility as well as the decay of sensitivity with depth, characteristic for FDOCT, is explained by considering the extension of the two wavetrains diffracted by the diffraction grating in the spectrometer
