HabEx polarization ray trace and aberration analysis [PDF]

open access: yesSpace Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter Wave, 2018
The flux difference between a terrestrial exoplanet and a much brighter nearby star creates an enormous optical design challenge for space-based imaging systems. Coronagraphs are designed to block the star’s flux and obtain a high-dynamic-range image of the exoplanet. The contrast of an optical system is calculated using the point spread function (PSF).

Polarization Ray Tracing

open access: yes, 2011
A three-by-three polarization ray tracing matrix method is developed to calculate the polarization transformations associated with ray paths through optical systems. The relationship between the three-by-three polarization ray tracing matrix P method and

Single acquisition reconstruction of nonlinear susceptibility and Raman tensors at the diffraction limit [PDF]

open access: yesAPL Photonics
Quantitative extraction of nonlinear optical tensors at the microscale typically requires sequential polarization scans, mechanical rotations, and careful correction of high-NA polarization distortions.

Comparison of predictions from a ray tracing microcellular model with narrowband measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In this paper predictions from a 3-D 'image-based' ray tracing model for microcellular environments are compared with three sets of narrowband measurements performed in a typical urban area. The comparisons illustrate that good agreement can be obtained,

A simple P-wave polarization analysis: its application to earthquake location

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
We present a method for hypocentral location which takes into account all three components of ground motion and not only the vertical one, as it is usually done by standard least-square techniques applied to arrival times.

Numerical Tool for Calculating Birefringence in Mirror-Substrates for Gravitational-Wave Detectors

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The influence of birefringence on rays entering and exiting a non-isotropic medium is a complex process that depends on its dielectric tensor, the orientation and geometry of the medium, the surrounding material, and the inclination of the incident ray ...

An advanced multi-element microcellular ray tracing model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper an advanced site specific image-based ray-tracing model is developed that enables multi-element outdoor propagation analysis to be performed in a microcellular environment.

Accounting for speckle-scale beam bending in classical ray tracing schemes for propagating realistic pulses in indirect drive ignition conditions

open access: yesMatter and Radiation at Extremes, 2023
We propose a semi-analytical modeling of smoothed laser beam deviation induced by plasma flows. Based on a Gaussian description of speckles, the model includes spatial, temporal, and polarization smoothing techniques, through fits coming from ...
