With the current setup, turning the 1/4 λ between 00 and 900 varies the intensity ratio between the two optical paths from 0 : 1 to 1 : 1 CRD-S to PAS, respectively. The beam directed to the PAS is turned and alig ...

... Condensates were transferred into the optical trap by holding them in a steady magnetic trap while ramping up the infrared laser power, and then suddenly switching off the magnetic trap. A ramp-up time of 125 ms was chosen as slow enough to allow for adiabatic transfer, yet fast enough to minimize t ...

Optical aberration
.svg?width=300)
An optical aberration is a departure of the performance of an optical system from the predictions of paraxial optics. In an imaging system, it occurs when light from one point of an object does not converge into (or does not diverge from) a single point after transmission through the system. Aberrations occur because the simple paraxial theory is not a completely accurate model of the effect of an optical system on light, rather than due to flaws in the optical elements.Aberration leads to blurring of the image produced by an image-forming optical system. Makers of optical instruments need to correct optical systems to compensate for aberration.The articles on reflection, refraction and caustics discuss the general features of reflected and refracted rays.
