Fundamentals of Optical Interferometry for Thermal Expansion
Fundamentals of Optical Interferometry for Thermal Expansion

... where interference of multiply reflected beams occurs within a cavity or etalon with partially reflecting coated flat or spherical end plates. Constructive interference occurs whenever the difference in optical path length between the rays transmitted at successive reflections is such that the emerg ...

16-level differential phase shift keying (D16PSK)

... Differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) has attracted a lot of interest lately for long haul wavelength division multiplexing systems for its high tolerance towards fibre nonlinearities and the 3 dB receiver sensitivity improvement compared to on-off keying systems [1]. However, binary modula ...

We, therefore, conclude that the scattering in these regions is dominated by the large particles. In contrast ...

... The refractive index profile along the length of the fiber is no more constant now but has a shape same as the pulse power profile. Since the refractive index profile is created by the pulse itself, it slides along with the pulse. The pulse energy has now preference to stay near its peak, as refract ...

... micrometer scale, which is in the visible light range. We know that scattering and diffraction happen when the object size is on the same order of the impinging light wavelength. However, when the dimension of an object is in the nanometer range, a lot of optical properties change. For example, from ...

... Thus, the minimum blur diameter due to third-order spherical aberration, the blur diameter due to astigmatism at the circle of least confusion (minimum spot size), and the width of the blur due to thirdorder coma (twice the sagittal coma) are all equal for the same maximum amount of wavefront aberra ...

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.""
