Analytic expressions for in-field scattered light distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
Light that is scattered from lenses and mirrors in an optical system produces a halo of stray light around bright objects within the field of view. The angular distribution of scattered light from any one component is usually described by the Harvey model. This paper presents analytic expressions for the scattered irradiance at a focal plane from optical components that scatter light in accordance with the Harvey model. It is found that the irradiance is independent of the location of an optical element within the system, provided the element is not located at or near an intermediate image plane. It is also found that the irradiance has little or no dependence on the size ofthe element.

Radiation scattering in the solar corona
This paper discusses the scattering in the solar corona of the radiation emitted by the solar disk. We obtain expressions for the emissivity which permit to deduce the spectral characteristics of the scattered radiation. With these expressions, assuming a Maxwellian distribution for the velocities of the scattering ions and a simple spectral shape of the exciting radiation, we produce approxima...
متن کاملInfluence of Compensator Thickness and Field Size on Buildup factor of a Brass Compensator for Intensity- Modulated Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the effective methods in the treatment of cancer. In the recent methods of radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique by compensators is used. when photon beam passes the compensator, scattered photons can be generated within the compensator. The presence of scattered photons may complicate the design of compensators as...
متن کاملHigh resolution population density imaging of random scatterers with the matched filtered scattered field variance.
The matched filter enables imaging with high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio by coherent correlation with the expected field from what is assumed to be a discrete scatterer. In many physical imaging systems, however, returns from a large number of randomized scatterers, ranging from thousands to millions of individuals, are received together and the coherent or expected field ...
متن کاملLight distributions from point, line and plane sources for photochemical reactions and fluorescence in turbid biological tissues.
Light distributions in biological tissues are summarized in simple expressions for spherical, cylindrical and planar geometries due to point sources, line sources and planar sources. The goal is to provide workable tools for computing light distributions that govern the amount and distribution of photochemical reactions in experimental solutions, films and biological tissues. Diffusion theory e...
متن کاملCompact Complex Expressions for the Electric Field of 2 - D Elliptical Charge Distributions ∗ † Miguel
We present a formula for the analytic calculation of the electric field in complex form for twodimensional charge distributions with elliptical contours, in the absence of boundary conditions except at infinity. The formula yields compact and practical expressions for a significant class of distributions. The fact that the electric field vanishes inside an elliptical shell follows as a straight...
