... Contrary to the Hartmann-Shack method, the Tscherning aberrometer uses not 1 but a group of laser beams that enter the eye. These beams are generated using a wide laser beam passing through a screen with a large number of round holes. The lens projects an image of the Tscherning screen onto the reti ...

... The luminance of the surface can be continuously varied from 0 to about 1500 cd/m2. Irrespective of the luminance value, the colour temperature remains constant at about 2850 K (Standard Illuminant A). The luminance of the source is continuously measured and indicated on a built-in digital display. ...

Theoretical criteria for scattering dark states in nanostructured particles Chia Wei Hsu,

... The scattering dark state is similar to “bound state in the continuum” 51–53 because both phenomena arise from destructive interference of outgoing waves. However, a scattering dark state is not a bound state. Eq 4 indicates that the resonance amplitudes decay to zero in the absence of the incoming ...

Atmospheric optics



Atmospheric optics deals with how the unique optical properties of the Earth's atmosphere cause a wide range of spectacular optical phenomena. The blue color of the sky is a direct result of Rayleigh scattering which redirects higher frequency (blue) sunlight back into the field of view of the observer. Because blue light is scattered more easily than red light, the sun takes on a reddish hue when it is observed through a thick atmosphere, as during a sunrise or sunset. Additional particulate matter in the sky can scatter different colors at different angles creating colorful glowing skies at dusk and dawn. Scattering off of ice crystals and other particles in the atmosphere are responsible for halos, afterglows, coronas, rays of sunlight, and sun dogs. The variation in these kinds of phenomena is due to different particle sizes and geometries.Mirages are optical phenomena in which light rays are bent due to thermal variations in the refraction index of air, producing displaced or heavily distorted images of distant objects. Other optical phenomena associated with this include the Novaya Zemlya effect where the sun appears to rise earlier or set later than predicted with a distorted shape. A spectacular form of refraction occurs with a temperature inversion called the Fata Morgana where objects on the horizon or even beyond the horizon, such as islands, cliffs, ships or icebergs, appear elongated and elevated, like ""fairy tale castles"".Rainbows are the result of a combination of internal reflection and dispersive refraction of light in raindrops. Because rainbows are seen on the opposite side of the sky as the sun, rainbows are more prominent the closer the sun is to the horizon due to their greater distance apart.
