Optical assembly for the generation of Broken Wire. (a) Planar schematic of the setup showing 3 lenses and the concept of broken wire filaments. (b) 3D schematic of the lens assembly. The XYZ actuators (part number DT12XYZ) drawing is from Thorlabs Inc. The schematic is simplified by partial representation of the assembly and the optical rays. (c) A photograph of the experimental setup during the experiment.
