Optical properties of the jellyfish surface above the waterline: microvillar array in pleustonic hydrozoans [PDF]
Zoological LettersBackground The transparent jellyfish body is often difficult to see underwater, as its refractive index is similar to that of seawater, resulting in a low light reflectance on the body surface. Nevertheless, the outlines of jellyfish can be recognized by

AI-based analysis algorithm incorporating nanoscale structural variations and measurement-angle misalignment in spectroscopic ellipsometry [PDF]
NanophotonicsSpectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is a powerful, non-destructive technique for nanoscale structural characterization. However, conventional SE data analysis typically assumes perfectly periodic specimen structures, overlooking fabrication-induced ...

Simulation of Rough Surface of CIGS (CuInGaSe) Solar Cell by RCWA (Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis) Considering the Incoherency of Light [PDF]
Journal of the Optical Society of Korea, 2014 The surface of semiconductor solar cells, such as a-Si or CIGS (CuInGaSe) solar cells is not flat but textured in the microscopic domain. With textured surfaces, the optical reflectivity of a solar cell is different from that of flat surfaces in the wavelength region.

Stack of cellular lamellae forms a silvered cortex to conceal the opaque organ in a transparent gastropod in epipelagic habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Gelatinous zooplankton in epipelagic environments often have highly transparent bodies to avoid detection by their visual predators and prey; however, the digestive systems are often exceptionally opaque even in these organisms.

Enhancement of Photodetector Responsivity in Standard SOI CMOS Processes by introducing Resonant Grating Structures [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2011 A new photodetector concept is described, which is fully compatible with the standard SOI CMOS process and does not require any post-processing steps. Our simulations are based on two-dimensional RCWA (Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis) and local absorption
