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 ...

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 ...

Electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces and layered structures represents a challenging yet pivotal research area that underpins advances in remote sensing, communications, and materials ...
