It is widely assumed that diffraction places a limit on the smallest features that can be produced by light-based fabrication techniques, such as photolithography. This limit is typically about ...

X-ray crystallography is a technique used to reveal how the atoms of crystalline solids are arranged, relying upon the diffraction of X-ray radiation by the periodic atomic structure. Its continual ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Thomas J. Brock is a CFA and CPA with more ...

Abstract: The output coupler free external cavity spectral beam combining structure uses the beam along 0-order and 1-order diffraction direction as the feedback light beam to realize the wavelength ...

Abstract: Metasurfaces have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent capabilities in wavefront manipulation. However, chromatic aberration, which is widely present in phase-modulated ...

Flexible, and easy-to-use Python diffraction simulator that focuses on visualizing physical optics phenomena. The simulator uses mainly scalar diffraction techniques for light propagation, provides a ...
