... An interferogram is generated because of the unique optics of an FT-IR instrument. The key components are a moveable mirror and beam splitter. The moveable mirror is responsible for the quality of the interferogram, and it is very important to move the mirror at constant speed. For this reason, the ...

... The object stands in front of a convex mirror. Consider first the P-ray: it leaves the top of the object as a parallel ray, and when it hits the convex mirror it is reflected. The reflected ray passes through the focal point of the spherical mirror. Even though the ray would be reflected up and away ...

He also investigated refraction, pinhole cameras, and lenses. ...

Retroreflector



A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
