  2. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    Fresnel equations calculator; FreeSnell – Free software computes the optical properties of multilayer materials. Thinfilm – Web interface for calculating optical properties of thin films and multilayer materials (reflection & transmission coefficients, ellipsometric parameters Psi & Delta).

  3. Transfer-matrix method (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer-matrix_method...

    The Fresnel reflection coefficient between layer n and n+1 is then given by: r n , n + 1 = k n − k n + 1 k n + k n + 1 {\displaystyle r_{n,n+1}={\frac {k_{n}-k_{n+1}}{k_{n}+k_{n+1}}}} Since the interface between each layer is unlikely to be perfectly smooth the roughness/diffuseness of each interface modifies the Fresnel coefficient and is ...

  4. Reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectance

    Water reflectance. Reflectance of smooth water at 20 °C (refractive index 1.333). Reflection occurs when light moves from a medium with one index of refraction into a second medium with a different index of refraction. Specular reflection from a body of water is calculated by the Fresnel equations. [8]

  5. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    Snell's law. Refraction of light at the interface between two media of different refractive indices, with n 2 > n 1. Since the velocity is lower in the second medium (v 2 < v 1 ), the angle of refraction θ 2 is less than the angle of incidence θ 1; that is, the ray in the higher-index medium is closer to the normal.

  6. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    A Fresnel lens ( / ˈfreɪnɛl, - nəl / FRAY-nel, -⁠nəl; / ˈfrɛnɛl, - əl / FREN-el, -⁠əl; or / freɪˈnɛl / fray-NEL [1]) is a type of composite compact lens which reduces the amount of material required compared to a conventional lens by dividing the lens into a set of concentric annular sections.

  7. Specular reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection

    The Fresnel equations describe the physics at the optical boundary. Reflection may occur as specular, or mirror-like, reflection and diffuse reflection. Specular reflection reflects all light which arrives from a given direction at the same angle, whereas diffuse reflection reflects light in a broad range of directions.

  8. Schlick's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlick's_approximation

    In 3D computer graphics, Schlick’s approximation, named after Christophe Schlick, is a formula for approximating the contribution of the Fresnel factor in the specular reflection of light from a non-conducting interface (surface) between two media.

  9. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electromagnetic field of the wave has a constant magnitude and is rotating at a constant rate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In electrodynamics, the strength and direction of an electric field is ...

  10. Fiber Bragg grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_Bragg_grating

    The fundamental principle behind the operation of an FBG is Fresnel reflection, where light traveling between media of different refractive indices may both reflect and refract at the interface. The refractive index will typically alternate over a defined length.
