Light collection efficiency is an important factor that affects the performance of many optical and optoelectronic devices. In these devices, the high reflectivity of interfaces can hinder efficient ...

Traditionally, the form of highly sloped surfaces has been challenging application for optical profilers using coherence scanning interferometry (CSI). Highly sloped surfaces exist in virtually all ...

1. The reflection of light from the surfaces of many kinds of leaves has been measured by means of a direct reading spectrophotometer, the measurements being made normal (that is, at an angle of 90⚬ ...

When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

Complete control of spatially propagating waves (PWs) and surface waves (SWs) is an ultimate goal that scientists and engineers seek for, in which negative reflection of PW and negative surface wave ...

Fran: I am looking at my reflection. When light from an object is reflected by a surface, it changes direction - it bounces off the surface. So, if we shine this light onto this mirror, then we can ...

Some materials earn their place in a space because they’re tough. Others, because they look stunning. And then there are those rare few that manage to tick both boxes—materials that not only catch the ...
