Evidence of X-Shaped Propagation-Invariant Localized Light Waves
Ten years ago Durnin, Miceli, and Eberly [1] reported on the startling first experimental investigation of the socalled nondiffracting Bessel beam, which was formed from a cw laser light by an annular slit and a collimating lens. The beam was found to maintain its sharply peaked radial profile over large distances outclassing the Rayleigh range. During the decade monochromatic Bessel beams have...
متن کاملScintillation Caustics in Planetary Occultation Light Curves
We revisit the GSC5249-01240 light curve obtained during its occultation by Saturn’s North polar region. In addition to refractive scintillations, the power spectrum of intensity fluctuations shows an enhancement of power between refractive and diffractive regimes. We identify this excess power as due to high amplitude spikes in the light curve and suggest that these spikes are due to caustics ...
متن کاملArchitectural Caustics — Controlling Light with Geometry
Caustics are captivating light patterns created by materials bundling or diverting light by refraction or reflection. We know caustics as random side effects, appearing, for example, at the bottom of a swimming pool. In this paper we show that it is possible to control caustic patterns to form almost any desired shape by optimizing the geometry of the reflective or refractive surface generating...
متن کاملStylized Caustics: Progressive Rendering of Animated Caustics
In recent years, much work was devoted to the design of light editing methods such as relighting and light path editing. So far, little work addressed the target-based manipulation and animation of caustics, for instance to a differently-shaped caustic, text or an image. The aim of this work is the animation of caustics by blending towards a given target irradiance distribution. This enables an...
متن کاملReal-Time Volumetric Caustics with Projected Light Beams
We present a method for the visualization of volumetric caustics in single-scattering participating media. The caustics beams are generated from a projected grid in light’s image space, making the solution independent from the geometric complexity of generators. The caustic volumes are extruded in the geometry shader and accumulated into the final volumetric effect.
