We present a calculation routine for the angular and spectral dependence of scattered light after transmission through textured interfaces. Based on a modified Rayleigh–Sommerfeld integral, the treatment requires only measured surface profiles, and the ref ...
A simple approach is extended for the simulation of Kerr-nonlinear and/or dispersive media through the finite-difference time-domain method. The scheme is able to include different types of linear and nonlinear dispersion in a single and unified formulatio ...

We present a dynamic laser beam shaper based on MEMS technology. We show a prototype of a dynamic diffuser made of single crystal silicon. A linearly deformable silicon micromembrane is used to diffuse a laser beam in one dimension. Resonance frequencies o ...

A theoretical approach based on coupled-mode theory is presented in order to determine the radiation pattern of LEDs incorporating a shallow photonic crystal. From this, a fundamental limit for the directionality of the diffraction of a single guided mode ...
The appearance of real world objects is the result of the combination of their own texture and the light rays striking them before reaching our eyes, or our camera. This appearance therefore brings very rich information about the objects shapes, materials, ...
A long-term local experiment was designed with the purpose to accurately quantify aerosol parameters needed in order to estimate aerosol climate forcing at an anthropogenically perturbed continental site. Total light-scattering ωλ,bsp and backsc ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A cylindrical light diffuser has been developed mainly for medical applications, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), in particular interstitial PDT, PDT of the bronchi, or intravascular PDT. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: T ...
This paper describes a fast daylight model suitable or embedded daylight controllers. For a given room geometry (including position and tilt of venetian blinds, and the sun's position), the indoor illuminances are modeled as a linear combination of outdoor ...
The objective of this paper is to assess the capability of existing lighting simulation methods to predict the performance of complex fenestration systems, which are becoming a commonly used component in buildings construction domain. A specific experiment ...
Bi-directional Transmission (or Reflection) Distribution Functions, commonly named BTDFs (and BRDFs), are essential quantities to describe any complex fenestration system in details. They are defined as the ratio of the luminance diffused from a surface el ...
