Global measurement of water waves by Fourier transform
Global measurement of water waves by Fourier transform

... Their method consists on using a pair of sequential images captured by two cameras arranged in stereo position. This method is suitable for the accurate measurement of both small-amplitude waves and surface discontinuities. Recently, Moisy et al. (2008) proposed an optical technique based on digital ...

... To find accurate absolute values of T and G, in the analysis shown in Figs. 1B and S2, we have omitted the part of the transmittance spectra at λ <450 nm, which as discussed above was affected by hydrocarbon contamination. Also, our apparatus noise was somewhat higher in the infrared region so that ...

... with replication methods. It is well known that sufficiently small surface structures reflect and deflect light in a way that can not be handled with geometrical optics. Naturally, when considering materials like metals, only reflected waves are observed. If the periodicity of the structures is in t ...

... of the SPP and the laser can then be discussed as three principal cases. For the case of positions like the one marked by “A” in Fig. 4, the fields of the laser pulse and the SPP are always of the same phase, which will result in constructive interference. One will find the largest electron yield at ...

Construction of a femtosecond mode

... There are several methods by which pulsed output can be generated, for example Qswitching and mode-locking [7]. By now the most advanced technique for ultarshort pulse generating is Kerr-lens mode- locking in solid-state lasers. This technique can provide sub-10 fs lasing and does not require very c ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
