Simultaneous microscopic imaging of thickness and refractive index of thin layers by heterodyne interferometric reflectometry (HiRef) [PDF]
The detection of spatial or temporal variations in very thin samples has important applications in the biological sciences. For example, cellular membranes exhibit changes in lipid composition and order, which in turn modulate their function in space and time.

Simulation of Inhomogeneous Refractive Index Fields Induced by Hot Tailored Forming Components
This article presents a simulation model for simulating inhomogeneous refractive index fields (IRIF) in hot‐forged components, accounting for thermal influences and complex geometries. Through this simulation, a priori knowledge about the propagation of the IRIF can be obtained, allowing for the positioning of the component or an optical measurement ...

Analytical ray-tracing in planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Ground-based astro-geodetic observations and atmospheric occultations, are two examples of observational techniques requiring a scrutiny analysis of atmospheric refraction. In both cases, the measured changes in observables are geometrically related to changes in the photon path and the light time of the received electromagnetic signal.
