Geometric limits to geometric optical imaging with infinite, planar, non-absorbing sheets
نویسنده
چکیده
New ray-optical elements allow generalized refraction of light rays, but geometry imposes limitations on possible mappings between the positions of an object and its geometric image. Here I study the case of an infinite, planar, non-absorbing sheet that images the entire three-dimensional space. The most general case of such a sheet is equivalent to a thin lens with different objectand image-sided focal lengths. Special cases include ordinary thin lenses, confocal lenslet arrays, and negative refraction with n2 = −n1. c © 2009 Optical Society of America

Optical properties of a semi-infinite medium consist of graphene based hyperbolic meta-materials with tilted optical axis
In this paper, the optical properties of a semi-infinite medium composed of graphen-based hyperbolic meta-materials with the optical axis were tilted with respect to its boundary with air, by using the Maxwell equations; then the homogeneous effective medium approximation method was studied. The results showed that the orientation of the structure layers (geometric induced anisotropy) affec...
متن کاملEffect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...

متن کاملGeometric distortion evaluation of magnetic resonance images by a new large field of view phantom for magnetic resonance based radiotherapy purposes
Background: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiotherapy planning method have been considered in recent years because of the advantages of MRI and the problems of planning with two images modality. The first step in MRI-based radiotherapy is to evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) images geometric distortion. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate system related geometric distort...
