Principles of Bragg-Fresnel multilayer optics
2014 The paper describes the principles and theoretical models of new X-ray optical elements based on the behaviour of Bragg-Fresnel diffraction. The use of volume diffraction permits one to achieve better spatial resolution compared with conventional plane optics and bending mirrors. The construction of Bragg-Fresnel elements combines the advantages of high-resolution Fresnel optics with stabi...
متن کاملNonlinear Optics (NLO)
Most of the experiments performed during this course are perfectly described by the principles of linear optics. This assumes that interacting optical beams (i.e. beams crossing paths) will not affect each other. As the light intensity is increased, however, this assumption no longer holds; we are forced to consider the possibility of nonlinear interactions. Nonlinear optical effects manifest i...
متن کاملDemonstrating principles of physical optics through interactive computer simulations
Interactive simulations have been developed illustrating basic principles of physical optics in three major areas: 1) electric field behavior in various polarization states, 2) propagation of traveling plane waves through birefringent and optically—active media, and 3) Fresnel diffraction and its relationship to and interpretation with Cornu's spiral. All of these areas emphasize the wave natur...
متن کاملDigital Holographic Adaptive Optics for Retinal Imaging
A new adaptive optics retinal imaging system is presented that is based on the principles of digital holography and dispenses with the wavefront sensor and wavefront corrective element of the conventional adaptive optics system. OCIS codes: 090.1995; 110.1080; 170.4470
متن کاملHiding an elephant into a matchbox with transformation optics
Based on transformation optics, we propose an illusion device that can make objects look much smaller and different than they actually are. In particular, the device has a capability to hide a large object (like an elephant) into a small one (like a matchbox). Compared to previous proposals for illusion devices, there is no requirement for negative refractive index or for spee...
